A 19-year-old Manhattan resident was arrested for allegedly firing an air gun at a member of Mayor de Blasio's security detail on Sunday night. Prosecutors say that Michael Verbitsky confessed—but insisted that it was all an accident.

Police say that around 7:15 p.m. on August 24th, a police officer near Gracie Mansion was "struck in the back by an apparent BB/pellet," adding, "There have been two previous reports of apparent BB/ pellets causing damage to windows in this same area."

According to the Post, "Hearing a pop, the cops looked up, noticing a pair of moving curtains and a silhouette in an open window, the sources said," across the street at luxury condo 170 East End Avenue.

3. Documenting another gun control failure for the crowd.

With all their tight control laws, they can't even keep a stupid pellet gun out of the hands of a "criminal".

Airguns are not firearms, nor are they generally accepted to be weapons. This doesn't meet the SoP of the Group.
