Tamanaha, a vagrant with a lengthy rap sheet who was known to police, also went on an incoherent rant outside the courthouse.

He denied the arson and hurled obscenities at reporters before asking them for a cigarette.

The suspect was hit with a slew of misdemeanor charges — including arson, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and criminal trespass — for allegedly setting ablaze the 50-foot-tall artificial tree with a piece of cardboard that was on fire.

The suspect has a history of destructive stunts, is homeless and abuses drugs, his father told The Post earlier Wednesday.

“Oh, he’s a nut. I can’t control him,” said Richard Tamanaha of Hawaii. “Mentally, he’s not all there.”

Last week, Tamanaha also allegedly exposed himself to a group of reporters outside the Ghislaine Maxwell trial in Manhattan, a photographer told The Post.


He doesn't have felonies.

So could our boy Tamanaha get on a Greyhound bus, travel to Tulsa Oklahoma, go to the Wanenmacher's Tulsa Arms Show, meet a private citizen who is not a licensed gun vendor, buy an AR15 with 6, 30 round magazines and 600 rounds of 5.56?

All legally?

Think about this while you keep voting for pro-crime DemoKKKrats who say felony charges, bail, and police are "racist".

Most private sellers I know wouldn't sell to anyone who made them suspicious. I've jacked the price up a time or two at a gun show and made it unaffordable, because I didn't think the buyer really knew what he was wanting to buy.

Besides, most homeless people can't afford a gun.
 
Would he be on some kind

Would he be on some kind of crazy person list if he were to try to buy from a licensed gun dealer? That would flag him as a person not allowed to own guns?

Yup. He sure could. Maybe we should pass some laws so he couldn't.

This is why restorative justice is problematic. In order to be placed on the NICS list of prohibited persons, there needs to be the 18 U.S. Code § 922(g)(1-9) requisite conviction, involuntary commitment / adjudication as mentally defective, etc.

The repeated bargaining away of major charges for guilty pleas on lesser charges that do not meet the gun dispossession criteria, isn't doing anyone any good. Neither do the diversionary programs that allow people charged with gun offenses to enter no contest and then go on probation . . . If completed, the charges get expunged and this allows repeated gun criminals to go free again and again and again and of course, never become a repeat offender or a NICS prohibited person. It makes a DA's case clearance rate look good, but it does not protect the public.

Not legally, no.

Private intrastate sales absent a background check are legal only between residents of the same state.

And it would be illegal....he has a long rap sheet.....he would be breaking the law.....if the police found him with the gun, they can already arrest him without any new laws.

Interstate transfers requiore a FFL on both ends and an in-state background check.
So, no.

But he could buy from a private citizen, a non licensed person?

He's a citizen of New York. Could he go to Albany NY and buy a gun from a gun dealer?
 
For a private sale to an out-of -tate buyer, the transfer must go through an in-state FFL, who sends the gun to a home state FFL, who then runs a background check.
So, no.

So if he's from NY, he could stay in state and buy a gun from a private vendor?

That would be against the law...if he has a criminal record he can't buy, own or carry a gun......if he is caught with the gun the police can already arrest him under all current gun laws...

Then, after he is arrested, the democrat party will release him again....just like they did all those other times....
 
NY requires a background check for private sales, a permit for handguns purchases, a license for handgun ownership, and the registration of handguns

But if he was from Oklahoma, he could buy from a private vendor.

He just picked the wrong state to be from.

I imagine there are thousands like him in New York so it's good they have the laws they do.
