Apparently, the NY state is giving a 500 dollar reward for anyone who owns firearms.  I had some time to kill so I called the number

1-855-GUNSNYS and reported myself.  A lady answered the phone and here's how it went:

 

Lady: guns new york

 

Me: Yes ma'am, I'd like to report a man that owns a gun...

 

Lady: is it an illegal gun?

 

me: well, I didn't see it's passport or student visa, if that's what you're asking..

 

lady: I don't understand, do you want to report someone that owns a gun?

Me: yes ma'am- ME, MY name is Elliott and I own at least 30 of em!! I live in the free state of Tennessee..come get me!

she hung up the phone. dang, she blew a sure fire bust right there..

If you've got some time, give that nice lady a call, I'm sure she's not doing anything and you can make her feel like she's actually working for her paycheck.

LMAO I really love that you commented on the article as "whacko bird"

[Erik88]

That's awesome. Really makes me thankful I was raised in the conservative South.

You know, thats a great idea. Nationwide we (people of the gun) should flood that hotline with calls like this. Organize to do it on the same day(s).

Wouldn't work - they would only pull the plug on it that day. The best way to twist their tails is to call in continuously over time to keep the pressure on them. Heck it is an 800#, it is their dime so call, and call often!

[Hi Point Hooligan]

See that is the whole idea is to shut the thing down..time to go Crank Yankers on them..

Good point. I would make a call or two each day :-)

A friend just had this exchange with them...

 

Me -- Uhh yes, I have a multiple 30 round magazines for my ar-15, AK-47, and my hangun I carry holds 16 rounds in the mag.. But, The problem is.. I live in Tennessee, and Joesph Stalin doesn't run this state...
Some guy -- Sir.. This is a serious call center ran by the state of NY..If you're not calling to provide info on illegal gun crimes, please do not call.
Me-- Sorry, Hail Hitler..have a nice day.

 

I think I would have told them that I can not take anything that the state of New York does seriously because their government is a joke.

[QuietDan]

If enough people did that, it would be the equivalent of the internet's "Distributed Denial of Service." That means they are so busy answering the phone that it shuts their system down.

The more I think about it the more I laugh. That was awesome. 

[Guest AlecMcDowell]

I tried to order a pizza but they hung up.

 

I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

You should report that you have a Slurpee too.

[RED333]

A bit off sibject, I get e-mail for "Mayors for a change" anit-gungroup.

Last one I got I they wanted money.

My Reply

" I am very sorry I can not send you any money, I just sent 1000 dollars to the NRA, Rand Paul and the GOA."

I just might make a call to the number in the OP.

[BigK]

Does reporting guys in blue uniforms count?

[MattCary]

Our luck, they'll track the call and Napoleon, Jr. Would show up on a sting operation.

[BJB]
