Police said a young girl was looking for seashells Monday at Coney Island when she stumbled upon a loaded gun on the beach.
WNBC reported that the 10-year-old was at the beach with her mother when she came across the 9 mm handgun in the sand. The mother turned the gun over to a lifeguard, who then called police.
Police said the weapon was filled with sand and had to be sawed into pieces in order to make it safe to handle. The handgun had one bullet inside.
Well, if we can trace the owner then we can tell them the ‘Gun is OK’…
If it were a car, authorities could look up and registration info and track down the owner in a heartbeat.
Testing, licensing, registration, insurance. Demand it.
Perhaps, since it is on Long Island… “But I didn’t know until this day it was Barzini all along.”
I’m surprised the swat team didn’t come shoot them all dead while trying to turn it in.
If we outlaw guns at the beach, only sharks will have guns!
