NYPD Sets Up
Illegal Gun Hotline
with Rewards

JANUARY 10TH, 2001

The city is making another effort to get illegal guns off
the streets.

Details of the "Gunstoppers" program were announced
on Tuesday, and NY1 Police reporter Adele
Sammarco has the story.

It only costs a quarter, but police say it will save a lot
of lives. From now on, you can get a $500 reward if
you call to report someone with an illegal gun.

"Every detective will be given reward signs. The signs
will go out on checkpoints and they will go out on
domestic incidents, they will go on precinct cells,
they'll be on the walls on Rikers - anywhere we believe
people will know and have knowledge of where illegal
guns may be, we're going to make sure the signs get
out there," said Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik.

Anyone who knows or sees someone holding an illegal
handgun is urged to call a specific confidential hotline,
and if there is an arrest and confiscation of that
weapon the caller will get the reward.

Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Commissioner Kerik say
it's a new crime-fighting tool for people to anonymously
report someone either carrying or selling an illegal
handgun.

"The focus of this is to get guns," said the mayor. "We
want to arrest people. It would be nice if they would
get convicted, but mainly we know from earlier
experience that one of our 1994 crime strategies was
to take guns out of the street and of the city and trace
it back to where it came from, like Virginia or other
places. And that had a big, big impact in reducing
violence."

According to NYPD statistics, there were 671
homicides in the city last year, 422 of them
gun-related.

The new gun specific hotline is 1 (866) GUN-SHOT.
That's 1 (866) 486-7468.

The number is different from the Crimestoppers
Hotline, which is for reporting other crimes. However,
both numbers are confidential
 
"Erhalten Sie ihn!! Er ist ein Jude!" "Get him!! He's a Jew!"

Oops, wrong time period. It's getting so confusing, you know.
 
Wrong time, indeed. Tell me about it!

Does anyone have practical ideas about defeating such tactics should they come to my state (assuming there's nowhere to run)? Would be nice to come up with counter-strategies which don't invovle breaking things or killing enemy personnel or having them do the same to me.
 
Talk about flushing the Constitution right down the crapper!

What can you do? You could try flooding the phone line with phony reports. Find out where prominent liberals live, give out their addresses and show up with a video camera to catch all the action. Can you see Babs Streisand having her door kicked in for a weapons violation?

FWIW, when the Commies in China did this they called it by a more appropriate and correct name: "The Cultural Revolution"

Yup, and the other 249 lives are completely worthless, right, since they weren't killed by an evil gun.


Is it too late to get Russia to nuke D.C. and New York and L.A.?
 
It would seem this is a natural extension of that horrid "DARE" program. Isn't that thing centered around squealing on your friends, neighbors and relatives?

I'll bet that every car with a "Million Mom March" bumper sticker only has it on as camouflage. In fact, I'm SURE there was a gun on the front seat/dashboard/floorboards of every MMM car I've ever seen.

If I lived in NYC, I'd do my civic duty and report every one I saw.

(Hey - are pay phones in NYC really still only a quarter, like the story says? They're 35 cents most other places.)

Realisticly, no its not too late for the Russians to nuke the U.S. Their new generation of nuclear missles are more advanced than anything in the U.S. arsenal (Topol M).

And I'm sure the Russians would be willing to oblidge.
 
GREAT!

Now, anybody have a large bomb shelter deep underground capable of supporting a family of 10 for a few years they'd like to rent out......
 
illegal guns

How do they mean 'illegal', as in yuo bought it out of the trunnk of some homie selling stolen weapons? I see nothing wrong with reporting that.
 
Yup, it's perfectly ok....

Until someone gets pi$$ed off at you, and knows you have guns, and maybe somehow knows that you decided to sell one to a friend.....

"Yeah, I don't want to give my name, but there's a guy who lives in my neighborhood whose got a bunch of guns, and I saw him selling one the other day to some other guy. Yeah, the second guy just walked in, and walked out a few minutes later with a gun. The address is 123 Yourstreet....."

You might eventually be cleared, but you'll go through hell before you are.
 
I just wonder how these people with evil guns are to be arrested..... after all they are armed and should be considered dangerous. Come to think of it, for the officers safety, they will have to send in the swat teams on these.
 
What Hank B said was interesting. I bet those stickers are camoflauge. They should be called in.




New York policy. Coming soon to the Federal Level.
 
Hank, yeah .25 cents.

Just be careful of the private ones. I was in NYC in Dec. I stopped at my friends bar to make a local call and the recording said to deposit something like $19 for the first three minutes!:eek:

AFA this nonsense goes, the sheep eat it up. I retired in 94 and have no idea who this guy Kerik is. He must have been a clerk in the Puzzle Palace.(1 PP) Guiliani likes puppets and a friend who just retired from Corrections said the most notable thing Kerik did when he was Commissioer there was lower morale. That`s hard to believe considering Wino Ward left his mark there that they`re still trying to get out of the men`s room stall. Granted, he was a Dinkins appointee so it doesn`t really matter who`s steering the ship.

I must caution you from calling about people like Babs or whatever. It`s not nice!:D

BTW, when I was in the bar, there was a million morons poster on the wall. Glad I don`t drink anymore

Some things to remember about NYC. All firearms are registered and the guns and serial # are listed on your license which has your mug sh....er Picture on it. You cannot sell a firearm privately in NYC, must go through the PD.

Personally I hope they remove all the guns from NYC residents. When the balloon goes up and they leave the city at least us suburbanites will be able to defend ourselves.

Please note that caucasians of european extraction are an official minority in NYC and have been for well over a decade. The city is loaded with criminal elements from other countries, the Russians and Albanians are particularly bad news. I won't even mention the Columbians. The place is a zoo and sooner or later some natural disaster is going to make it a real problem. when it happens I want to be the one who is armed, not the hordes from NYC.

Before any of you hang the Racist tag on me, I know many African Americans who have bailed out of the city to the 'burbs so their kids can go to good schools and they can live in peace.

Anyone want to be a LEO, NYC cannot find enough qualified applicants. Jobs are going begging, sign up now. At least the cops are allowed to carry, although the gun must be a "Police Regulation gun" in NYC.

Giuliani may be an SOB but he has improved the quality of life in the city, when he leaves the place will go down the tubes real fast.

The signs will go out on checkpoints ...

Checkpoints? Geez. Do the folks in NYC live in an official police state?


Oleg, I think I saw the answer to your question above ... 'false' reports. Better use a pay phone away from home, and calling in on gun bigots would be a fine payback. This will gum up the system, and be an effective, nonviolent bit of civil disobedience.

fiend, I know at first glance this policy may sound peachy, but others have described above how such a program quickly goes awry.

When I was a kid, my teachers said this was how society operated ... in the Soviet Union and Red China. Interesting how those countries are gradually moving towards free markets, and we're becoming a police state. I suppose we'll meet in the middle, with some brand of 'free market' police state? ;)
