This is NYC we're talking about. Stop-and-Frisk was a fun game the cops played for years.

Oh for sure. Terry stops were (are?) massively abused in that city.

It's interesting how effectively propaganda has convinced people that searching known felons for illegal weapons isn't a "common sense gun law."

Stop-and-frisk had little to do with felony status. It was your black-and-young-and-male status that would trigger a search.
