Mr. Littlejohn has contacted New York attorney Jerold E. Levine (thegunlawyer.net), and Mr. Levine has agreed to represent him pro bono. Mr. Levine has much experience fighting the anti-gun NYC bureaucracy.

I knew a Class III dealer in the ’70s who had the barrel of an Uzi painted orange. It excited quite a bit of comment.

One of the best toys I ever owned was a .38 snubnose, in gunmetal gray and with brown plastic grips. It looked fairly real, which was I loved it so much.

I believe it was (quelle horreur!) a cap gun as well.

Yes. He must register his reproduction flintlock rifle with the handgun license division! You… wait, what?

So, some overweening bureaucrat (possibly the Mayor, maybe just a lesser idiot) wants to extort money. Using police, who do not sound happy about it either else why admit they are being pressured?

So, he is supposed to register it even though the law specifically states he need not. Well, I guess he could volunteer to do the unnecessary.

Oh, and register it as a handgun. Does that look like a handgun? Would it really be legal to so register it? If that can be registered as a handgun, can a 155mm Howitzer?

The whole point of gun control is to change the culture.

That pretty much sums it up.

“The NYPD learned about Littlejohn’s $825 rifle when he left a receipt inside a Staples copy center, prompting a call to the cops.”

The whole point of gun control is to change the culture. They have succeeded in NYC. Oh Noes! He left a receipt at staples that says “gun” on it. Everybody Panic!

Bloomburg has already shown that he doesn’t care about the law. When it’s inconvenient he’ll either ignore it (the gun shop stings in other states) or force the city council to change it (Term limits)

the authorites were, call me crazy here, out trying to catch actual criminals

That requires hard work. Effort. And danger.

Easier to pick on the law abiding, then when that doesn’t work, claim you need more power to crack down on the law abiding. Viscous circle, yes, but effective if you’re in the whole Power game.
