“There will be officers with submachine guns,” the source said. “We’ve always had immense security, but there will be more. We’ll have extra patrols. The entire building can be shut down with one button.”
LINK (Fox News)

Just who is this "source"? How can anyone, other than the feds, legally possess and carry submachine guns in New York City? I call BS on this one.

My guess is that the source is illiterate about guns.

He probably heard “semi-automatic” and thought “sub-machine gun”. The NYPD ain’t handing out UZIs to officers.

I presume they meant the counterterrorism units that carry this, and just don't know what a "submachine gun" actually is:

Really pathetic that we have to be this way due to the violent left mobs.

It’s even worse in Florida, where one New Yorker, who owns a luxury condo in Naples, said her building has hired two ex-marine “snipers” to stand on guard, with guns, on the roof, on Election Day and after.


If a private security guard snipes somebody from the roof, I'm pretty sure that person is going to jail.

You can bet your sweet arse the NYPD has sub-machine guns in their arsenal. But used for private security... no,

I have a buddy who is a Sheriff's Deputy in CA. He and his wife used to go to NY every December. He would bring his service weapon with him. NY law only allows for a 10 rd mag even for LEO. He said it was amazing that NY had worse gun laws than CA. He had to keep a few 10 RD mags on hand for his trip every year.

Someone I met one time has an Israeli Arms Uzi.

32 rounds of fun. Semi auto. Fully legal.

I assume they are carrying MP5s with full stock, 16"+ barrels and a holo scope.

It’s the “elite” buildings. Wouldn’t surprise me if they hired Academi (formerly Xe, formerly Blackwater) and did actually carry submachine guns. Those guys really don’t care about things like laws and rules, because generally they find that they don’t apply to them. Some exceptions noted, of course, such as the conviction of Blackwater operatives in killing Iraqis villagers. But those are guys you seriously don’t want to frick around with. Ive worked with some post-Katrina when they were hired to provide security for FEMA operations. You want them on your side in any “situation”.

Someone that I met has one unless he gave it up. I suspect that he did because he is a law abiding type guy

NYC has HK MP5s and the newer B&T MP9. Not enough to amount to much but they do have them.
