This is the trial where the bitch judge said don't bring the 2nd Amendment into her courtroom.

Yes, NYC is slipping away as part of America into some sort of far left dystopia.



The judge in the case even refused to allow the man’s defense to even mention the second amendment, saying “Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York”

Bushwick Man Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison


for Illegal Possession of Ghost Guns



Defendant Assembled Arsenal of 13 Weapons Including AR-15 Style Rifles


Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez today announced that a Brooklyn man has been sentenced to 10 years in for prison for assembling an arsenal of illegal and untraceable firearms known as ghost guns. The defendant was convicted of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and other related charges in April after authorities recovered 13 weapons from his Bushwick apartment, including assault weapons, handguns, and rifles.


District Attorney Gonzalez said, “Ghost guns are a threat to New Yorkers everywhere, and my Office is working tirelessly with our partners in law enforcement to stop their proliferation. Today’s sentence should send a message to anyone who, like this defendant, would try to evade critically important background checks and registration requirements to manufacture and stockpile these dangerous weapons. Every ghost gun we take off the street is a win for public safety.”


The District Attorney identified the defendant as Dexter Taylor, 53, of Bushwick, Brooklyn. He was sentenced today by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Abena Darkeh to 10 years in prison. He was convicted of two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon; three counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon; five counts of criminal possession of a firearm; unlawful possession of pistol ammunition; and prohibition on unfinished frames or receivers on April 16, 2024, following a jury trial.


The District Attorney said that, following an investigation, members of the New York City Police Department identified Taylor as having ordered numerous ghost gun kits and component parts from various online retailers that were shipped to the defendant’s address on Eldert Street in Bushwick, Brooklyn.


A search warrant was executed at the defendant’s apartment on April 6, 2022, and numerous items were recovered, including four AR-15 style assault weapons, five handguns, four rifles and over 50 rounds of ammunition in addition to gun powder, shell casings, triggers, a 3D printer, and various upper and lower receivers used to build firearms. The weapons were being stored in an unlocked safe as well as a closet.


According to evidence presented at trial, the defendant spent approximately $40,000 to obtain the ghost guns parts and tools. The defendant did not have a gun license.


The investigation was conducted by the New York City Police Department’s Major Case Field Intelligence Team and Detective Investigators from the District Attorney’s Investigations Bureau.


The case was prosecuted by Senior Assistant District Attorney Omar Harding and Senior Assistant District Attorney Jonathan Visotzky, of the District Attorney’s Violent Criminal Enterprises Bureau, under the supervision of Assistant District Attorney Alfred De Ingeniis, VCE Bureau Chief.

I'm wondering if he would have had a problem if he didn't talk online about this,
 
Seems it would be a case the NRA would want to get behind. I can find no statement from them.

I'd say he is lucky to still be alive. Most times authorities see a minority and a gun they start shooting.

Thank you for providing the entire story so we know what actually happened instead of the edited propaganda version that excalibur gave.
 
Those are some really whacked gun and ammunition laws. But whatever!

Hobby Machinists are regularly approached to make firearm parts. If you have a lathe and mill....it's gonna happen. And being asked makes most really upset. People are going to people.

But you can't even make so much as any sort of silencer without landing in the pokey for such "horrible" crimes as this.
Granted these guys bought ghost guns and parts....but once they assembled them or bought receivers with no serial numbers they were going to get arrested....no doubt about it. The BATF takes this sort of thing very seriously. They will delight in cuffing you and incarcerating you for long periods of years.

You do not have a "right" to privacy in America....that's been gone and congressmen got paid well for selling your rights to privacy.

Wanna stay out of jail? Don't make guns and don't sell recreational Marijuana. They may be quasi legal but the list of rules that they will gladly take all your money and freedom over violating is a mile long.
 
Ah yes, life in the land of the free and home of the brave, the United States Of Israel.
 
You are being lied to or you're lying to us.

Read those articles.

Some built machine guns, some were prohibited from owning firearms, some knowingly sold TO prohibited persons, one was charged with possessing explosives.

Building up to semi automatic firearms from at home is 100% legal and constitutional.

I completely agree it is and others have been charged also despite your attempts to deflect.
