This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by krispos42 (a host of the Gun Control & RKBA group).
A 19-year-old Manhattan resident was arrested for allegedly firing an air gun at a member of Mayor de Blasio's security detail on Sunday night. Prosecutors say that Michael Verbitsky confessedbut insisted that it was all an accident.
Police say that around 7:15 p.m. on August 24th, a police officer near Gracie Mansion was "struck in the back by an apparent BB/pellet," adding, "There have been two previous reports of apparent BB/ pellets causing damage to windows in this same area."
According to the Post, "Hearing a pop, the cops looked up, noticing a pair of moving curtains and a silhouette in an open window, the sources said," across the street at luxury condo 170 East End Avenue.

With all their tight control laws, they can't even keep a stupid pellet gun out of the hands of a "criminal".

Airguns are not firearms, nor are they generally accepted to be weapons. This doesn't meet the SoP of the Group.
