Remember, kids..some animals are more equal than others:

A deputy mayor of a city in New York state faces federal charges after authorities discovered unregistered firearms and bogus badges for federal agencies, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.

Last week, Brian Downey, a Republican who serves as deputy mayor of Airmont, New York, was taken into custody for “purchasing a rifle suppression device over the internet,” according to a statement from the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office.

Authorities later executed a search warrant on his home and found at least 13 illegal suppressors and 16 unregistered assault weapons, including a short-barrel rifle and sawed-off shotgun.

First, you have to admit, the guy has some good taste in thundertoys. Secondly, as far as I can tell in the documents, the ‘short barreled rifle’ is an arm-braced PSA AR. Im betting the supressors are dummies, but the sawed down side by side looks legit. Regardless, this guy is out a metric buttload of money in addition to all the other problems he’s about to encounter. As for the badges..well… play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I bet if you canvas the local Gyno-Americans they’ll tell about some fed in an unmarked car pulling them over for various reasons that usually are defused by them agreeing to go on a date with him.

But…it’s NY. where guns like that are supposed to be verboten for the regular volks.But, there’s always that cog in the .gov machine who thinks maybe he has just a little extra juice and the rules don’t apply to him as much as the other guy.

Moral of the story: ordering questionably legal gun accessories off the interweb under your real name is a bad idea.

  1. that’s the class of people in charge and they wonder why we prep and worry about government intrusion.

  2. The SBR that he has is a PA-15, which is a rifle made by Palmetto State Armory out of South Carolina. The stock on it isn’t an arm brace. It’s a side folding stock. Along with the short barrel, that makes it an unregistered SBR.
    What I want to know is if the original search warrant came because he bought one of those “fuel filters” that was all over the Internet a couple of months back.

    • Don’t confuse upstate NY with NYC. States like NY and IL have very different politics in the big city than elsewhere.

    • I responded to Sandy in 2012 in NYC and I was told there were about 1000 “Deputy Mayor’s” under the Mayor’s office. Essentially every neighborhood got one. After realizing that, we ignored their calls.

  5. So tell me. What’s this clown got to worry about? The Marxocrats are in charge. And they take care of their own. Nothing will happen to this idiot. Hell I’m sure if DeBozo ask Bug Out Biden he find a cabinet post for him. After all. Biden’s cabinet looks like a thieves bazaar in Morroco.
    Until there is accountability levied on these leftists they will continue to do just what the hell they want. After all. Whose going to stop them. The FBI? CIA? The Justice Dept? Don’t count on it. They’re to busy looking for an insurrection that was planned by Nasty Ass Pelosi and her Flying Monkey Army.

  7. Unless I am missing something the shotgun looks like a Mossberg with a Raptor grip on it.

  8. “Remember, kids..some animals are more equal than others”

    If that were true, then this idiot wouldn’t have been charged. 🙂

    • Not necessarily. It isn’t about the arrest, its about the prosecution and/or penalty.
