How this heartbroken dad ended up in cuffs at the Holland Tunnel

“I’m not a vigilante or terrorist — I’m a father.”

That’s the mantra of John Cramsey, who spoke exclusively to The Post about the daughter he lost to a drug overdose in February — a tragedy that sparked his crusade to save other addicts from the same fate.

Cramsey, 50, was arrested June 21 on one of those rescue missions while driving a souped-up SUV toward the Holland Tunnel, loaded with a cache of weapons.

A die-hard Second Amendment supporter and owner of an indoor gun range, Cramsey now sits in the Hudson County Correctional Facility in Kearny, NJ, on $75,000 bail.

But his brush with the law has not dimmed his passion for his mission.

In two jailhouse phone interviews with The Post, he revealed the anguish of losing his model daughter Alexandria “Lexii” Cramsey, 20, and his determination to help others like her.

Everybody in the gun community knows you don't blow into NY state with a load of weapons, much less NYC. Noble intentions but poor execution.
Heroin may just delete a whole generation before it's over. Such a shame.
