Anti Second Amendment De Blasio staffer busted on gun charge


Gun control is a big issue in New York City and Mayor Bill de Blasio continues to push it to the point where he would like to abolish the Second Amendment altogether--I say "abolish" because he really doesn't want to repeal it legally as he realizes that is never going to happen without a fight.

One of his staffers, Reagan Stevens (who, I suspect, was not a fan of the other Reagan) has been arrested on gun related charges, thanks to "Shot Spotter," a NYPD device used to detect the sound of rounds that were fired.

This story is loaded with so much irony it's laughable. 

According to her LinkedIn page, Stevens works as the "Deputy Director, Youth & Strategic Initiatives, Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice." Her ID badge had to be made special to accommodate her title. Prior to this position, she was the "Deputy Director, Behavioral Health and Criminal Justice Task Force, New York City Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice."

Her job description must be 2,568 pages long.

According to NBC New York:
"A high-level deputy director in Mayor de Blasio's Office of Criminal Justice was arrested on weapons charges this weekend, police say.
"Reagan Stevens, the Deputy Director of Youth and Strategic Initiatives, was charged along with two men after officers found the trio in a vehicle with a loaded handgun late Saturday night, according to police.
"Officers were responding to ShotSpotter, the NYPD bullet-detection system, near the corner of 177th Street and 106th Avenue in Jamaica [Queens] when police say they found the "suspicious" vehicle double-parked nearby.
"The officers found the loaded 9mm handgun in a glove compartment, according to police, who said the weapon holds an eight-round clip but that only three rounds were remaining. Police said it wasn't immediately clear if the gun had been recently fired.
"Stevens, 42, was charged with criminal possession of a loaded firearm and criminal possession of a defaced weapon, as were the two men, identified by police as 24-year-old Montell Hughes and 25-year-old Caesar Forbes."
The New York Post added that the arrest occurred around 10:25 p.m. and that a single shell casing was also found in the Infinity automobile.

The Post also said the police were combing the area for suspicious activity after NYPD's ShotSpotter system detected five gunshots on nearby 109th Avenue around 10 p.m. Surveillance video at the scene of 109th Avenue shows the muzzle flashes of five shots fired from a car, but it wasn't clear who the gunman [or gun woman] was targeting.

Stevens is a Brooklyn resident who, according to public records, earns over $90,000 annually. She was sitting in the backseat when the cops approached the vehicle and found the gun.

She was "like yo."

This situation will likely anger de Blasio who does not carry a gun, I believe, but he has people protecting him that do.
