The city that wants to host the Olympic games arrested an Olympic competitor:
Three or four weeks ago a young competitor on the National Shooting Team was training and being coached at the Coast Guard Academy. Upon finishing the training program he properly stored the firearms and headed for the airport and his home in the western United States. After declaring his legally transported firearms, at a NYC airport, he was arrested by a New York City Transit Authority Officer. This young American competitor after explaining what he was doing with the firearm and showing his credentials was arrested, handcuffed and spent a number of hours in custody until some public official realized the perfect public relations storm brewing in a scummy detention cell in NYC.
That’s also likely a violation of the Firearms Owners Protection Act, which NYC has openly violated as a matter of policy.

Let the law suit comense!! NYC routinely arrests those in transit via air craft with firearms in violation of Federal Law. They need to be held accountable!

when the city and state does not follow federal law and the federal government will not enforce it… you have no rights even if they are written down…
same thing happens at the borders, the fed refuses to enforce the laws and then it sues any city or state that tries.
