I don't know the old laws in NYC but I wonder if they had mandatory registration before the new law. Hopefully he wasn't selling these firearms illegally to boot. I wonder if his record was clean and someone just ratted him out or he was on the wrong side of the law to begin with...just not enough details yet.

Jury nullification..."occurs in a trial when a jury acquits a defendant they believe to be guilty of the charges against them. This may occur when members of the jury disagree with the law the defendant has been charged with, or believe that the law should not be applied in that particular case."

Post by: whynow? on March 22, 2013, 01:36:43 PM: This incident along with the harrassment of the NJ family over a picture of the son holding a rifle is why I think many hesitate to show "their" firearms related stuff including reloading equipment on the net. Well maybe you can show it but not claim ownership. May be legal to own now but...

i'd be more annoyed if this wasnt his fault, and clearly breaking laws in place
