I hope this isn't true. If it is, one part of America has become Gestapo controlled. Please read it:

At a time when all of us are finding ourselves doing more with less, a reminder about a resource available from New York State that can assist you in your efforts to solve cases, prevent crime and better serve and protect your communities.

The state has established a toll-free tip line – 1-855-GUNSNYS (1-855- 486-7697) to encourage residents to report illegal firearm possession. The tip line also allows for information to be submitted via text – individuals can text GUNTIP and their message to CRIMES (274637). While the state will provide the administrative support and fund the rewards, the investigation and validity of the tip will be up to each local department.

To spread the word about this free resource, New York State is planning a comprehensive campaign, including public service announcements that will air on television and radio stations across Upstate.

The tip line can provide your agencies with another avenue for receiving intelligence about crimes being committed in your jurisdictions. This initiative is designed for communities where no tip lines are in place and is not meant to replace existing gun tip lines.

Here’s how the tip line operates:

The New York State Police staff the tip line 24 hours a day. Upon receiving a call, troopers will solicit as much information as possible regarding a firearm tip, while allowing the individual to remain anonymous. The caller will be informed that this program is not the traditional gun buyback program but rather is focused on identifying individuals who are carrying an illegal firearm.

The State Police will in turn contact the appropriate police agency with the lead to initiate an investigation. Staff from the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) will follow up with that agency to determine the validity of the lead. Once the investigation is completed, the police agency would convey to DCJS the outcome of the investigation.

If the information leads to an arrest for the illegal possession of a firearm, the “tipster” will be awarded $500. DCJS staff will handle all of the financial transactions.

State Police staff will explain the program in its entirety upon notifying an agency that a lead has been generated for their jurisdiction. If you have any questions in the interim, please contact DCJS Deputy Commissioner Tony Perez in the Office of Public Safety at 518-485-7610.

so, can we call NYS and report illegal weapons in MA to get the monies and screw up their system?
 
Wow...anyone ever read "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" by Matthew Bracken? I'm only a third of the way into it but some of the parallels are scary. $10K in his book to turn in someone with an "Assault Weapon".
 
Well I just figured out how to get 10x the cash of a gun buyback while at the same time absolutely screwing someone I decide to screw. Lock them car doors kids!
 
I can't see this ending well. Some good honest person that held onto his firearms is gonna get targeted and it may be enough to start a bloodbath when the cops come to cause the arrest. It's all so stupid and unnecessary.

Am I missing something? If you remain anonymous, how do they find you to give the $500 reward?

You get assigned a unique pin or code or some crap and call back much later to find out if you won a prize, you can then have it dropped off wherever like a ransom. I assume anyway, thats how the city i grew up in did that in the 80's for just about any crime you could rat out.
 
Two can play at this game. Some motivated New Yorkers could go out, get some burners, and call to report the police, politicians, and every anti-gun campaigner there is.

The SAFE version of getting SWAT-ed. Every assemblyman in NY who voted for it comes to mind....it ought to bring some ass-hurt to them.

How about schumer's house? Clinton's? Bloomberg's?
 
Send a few of the folks that voted this in, one of your old ratty 30 round mags. Have it delivered with a sign for request. Then watch the UPS/FEDEX tracking. As soon as it's delivered call the cops for an arrest. Tell them to hurry because the guy is planning on hiding the mags. That should work.
 
I'm pretty sure this is the same version as all the other tip lines for murders, assaults, general crimes. This one appears to be geared towards firearms because NY has higher crime rate with firearms then some other places. I might be wrong though..
