New York Offers $500 Reward For Reporting Illegal Gun Owners

ALBANY, N.Y. – Nearly a year before signing the nation's most stringent gun control measure into law, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched a hotline that allows state residents to report illegal gun owners in exchange for a $500 reward.

The measure is part of a four-pronged approach established by the governor's office to reduce gun violence in urban communities, according to CBS6Albany.com.

New Yorkers can call the "Gun Tip Line" if they believe someone they know has an illegal gun. Hotline calls are answered by state police and tips are referred to local law enforcement, the station reported.

Would have liked this better if it included large sugar drinkers.

I think someone has a good case for Government bribery here.
How is anyone supposed to know if your gun is "illegal"?
They may "think" it is but they really don't know except in very few situations.
This could turn into mayhem if the pranksters begin tipping off police or "swatting" as they call it.

Oh, and by the way, this is the very same thing HITLER and STALIN did as they were seeking one party rule and dominance.

People in NY kill other people for $500. How much is your life worth? $40.00? $250.00? $1,000.00?

You go ahead and make that call! as far as I'm concerned, nobody should have to "register" a firearm. 2nd Amendment. Everybody needs a good gun or four.

Unfortunately, it would be like turning in an old tire.

We would have to pay for them to accept him.

I just pick some names from the phone book and if they find something give me the money if not I'll just pick more numbers. Better yet I'll give the address of all the cops and then watch all the other cops kick in there doors. God this could be a lot of fun.
