A 7-year-old boy brought a .22-caliber handgun and more than a dozen rounds of ammunition into his Far Rockaway school Thursday, causing a lockdown and sparking a police investigation into how he got the gun from home, officials said.
The youngster brought the gun to the Wave Preparatory School in his book bag at around 7:30 a.m. when he was escorted there by his mother, said NYPD spokesman Paul Browne. Aside from the .22-caliber Phoenix Arms handgun and ammunition, the bag also contained a flare pistol, Browne said. Because of the youngster's age, Browne didn't want to identify him.
The child's 53-year-old mother discovered he had taken the weapon to school when one of her two adult sons told her the gun had been in the book bag, Browne said. Detectives are trying to determine if the youngster placed the gun in his bag by himself or if it was put there by one of his two older half-brothers, perhaps under the belief that the child wouldn't be going to class because of the school bus strike, Browne said.
After learning that the gun had been taken to school, the mother went to Wave Preparatory and tried to take her son out of class, Brown said. The boy then told her that he had given the "gun" to a classmate, although he was talking about the flare pistol, Browne said. School safety officers who were on the premises checked the 7-year-old's book bag and found the .22-caliber weapon and the ammunition, according to Browne.
Wave Preparatory was on lockdown for about an hour, police said. Investigators were probing the actions of the mother and trying to determine which of her older sons may have originally possessed the weapon, Browne said.
"Whether the mother is to be charged or not is still under review," Browne said. "It is all under investigation."
He added that the youngster's two older half-brothers were known to the NYPD as crime victims and that police were getting a search warrant to see if there were other weapons in the household.
... ......................................coumo's 1st question was .."how many rounds did his magazine hold?".....what about FDNY Fire Marshals along w/NYPD whose magazine capacity are now technically illegal ?.
 
Maybe president cuomo should require background checks on people who want to have children. Maybe he can give an "emotional" speech on the responsibility of being a parent. A clueless mother and a seven year old with a gun are more dangerous than a 10 round magazine. I wonder if this gun was registered .
 
A student with a gun in a school is bad news but what Cuomo doesn't understand is that the .22LR caliber pistol this is barely qualifies as a gun. I've had several bought new for $100 bucks, put about that many rounds through them and they literally fall apart in your hand. Inaccurate even at point-blank and the round won't even penetrate through denim.
 
From nycpba.org  ...    Re: New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act

January 17, 2013

The safety of our members is always a first concern for this union. For that reason, we support in principle any governmental effort to keep assault weapons out of the wrong hands. However, while the bill that was recently passed in Albany called the "New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act" contains measures to prevent assault weapons from falling into the wrong hands, increases penalties for those wrongfully utilizing them, and incorporates provisions to protect the privacy of our members, it did not include an appropriate exemption for active and retired law enforcement officers. As with many pieces of new legislation, there is a period shortly after enactment where omissions and unforeseen impacts become apparent that prompt a revision to the law.

It is our belief that the failure to consider and exempt law enforcement personnel from its reach was brought about by the urgency to take action against those who might wrongfully use assault weapons, in light of the widely publicized tragedies at Sandy Hook elementary. The PBA is actively working to enact changes to this law that will provide the appropriate exemptions from the law for active and retired law enforcement officers.

We will keep you advised as we seek the necessary changes to exempt law enforcement from the provisions of the law.

Fraternally,

Patrick J. Lynch
President
 
Cuomo?s new gun law does not exempt New York cops, could prevent police from responding to school shootings

A New York lawmaker says that the state?s recently passed gun control law stunningly fails to include any exemptions for law enforcement officers, and technically prohibits police from ever bringing guns on school grounds or possessing extended ammo magazines.

The NY SAFE Act, which was championed and signed into law by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, bans all magazines that hold more than seven bullets and pre-1994 high capacity magazines, and prohibits the carrying of guns on school grounds.

But because no loophole for law enforcement was included in the law, every police officer in the state is technically in violation of the statute even though the prohibition is unlikely to be enforced, according to New York Assemblyman Al Graf.

Graf ? a former New York City police officer and the ranking Republican member of the assembly?s powerful Codes Committee ? says that the ban could even impede the efforts of officers to respond to a school shooting.

?The language is unclear, and to go further, a cop cannot go on school property with a gun,? Graf told The Daily Caller. ?They weren?t exempted from that, either.?

?There was actually a story that was relayed to me the other day about a New York City police officer who went to a school the other day to pick up his kid, and the security guard told him that if he came to the school with his off-duty gun he would be arrested,? Graf continued.

The prohibition on carrying a gun into a school could even extend to on-duty police officers responding to an emergency such as a shooting.

?I guess they would have to sit there and take their gun belts off before they came in? to the school, Graf said.

Graf says that the exemption was not included in the bill because Cuomo, a rising Democratic star and possible 2016 presidential candidate, rushed it through the legislature via a shortcut known as a ?message of necessity.? This allowed for little public scrutiny of the bill, which was easily passed by the legislature and signed into law on Tuesday.

?I got my hands on the bill at 11:30 at night,? Graf said, adding that he only had an hour to go through it before a meeting of the Codes Committee.

?Nobody was really able to look the bill,? before it was passed, according to Graf.

According to Graf, amendments to fix the bill were already in the works by the time it was voted on, but have not yet reached the floor.

?It doesn?t exclude retired police officers, so all of them have to turn in guns and magazines and stuff like that,? he said. ?What they did is disarm the good guys and make sure the bad guys outgun them.?

?There are so many problems with this bill it?s unreal,? Graf said.

Gov. Cuomo?s office did not respond to TheDC?s request for comment, but now reportedly says an exemption will soon be included in the law.

Silver open to potential changes on 10-round magazine ban

Posted by: Joseph Spector - Posted in Uncategorized on Mar 05, 2013

Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, indicated he may be open to changing a major piece of the state?s gun-control law that limits the number of bullets in a magazine to seven.

Silver suggested today that because manufacturers do not make magazines with seven bullets, lawmakers and Gov. Andrew Cuomo may need to revisit the restriction, which was part of the gun-control law passed Jan. 15. The prior law put the limit at 10 bullets in a magazine.

?A lot of things are being discussed,? Silver said. ?It?s a question of whether no sevens are being manufactured in the state and maybe you?ll be able to use a 10 magazine with three blanks.?

Silver said it?s unclear whether any significant changes to the controversial law would be made.

?From a practical matter, we?re discussing it. I?m just saying I?m open to it,? Silver continued. ?Everything in this state will better and does move better when people are open to compromise.?

Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, R-Nassau County, said yesterday he wants significant changes, including a change on the magazine limit.

Cuomo said yesterday he would only support technical corrections to the law, such as excluding police and film productions from an assault-weapons ban. Cuomo told reporters that changing the number of allowable bullets in a magazine would be more than a technical change.

?I do not consider that a technical change,? Cuomo said. ?If it is raising what it now says in the law about seven to 10, I don?t believe that?s a technical change.?
