MARK MECKLER: NYC Gun Charges Dropped. Now I Can Speak Out. “Strangely, now that the case against me is over, the authorities refuse to return my firearm. There is no law that allows them to confiscate a weapon in this manner. They simply say ‘no’ when you ask for your weapon back. This is apparently their ‘policy.’ It is done regularly in New York.”

Too bad you can’t file a RICO suit against a government entity.
