Wow NYC has strict gun laws?
Are you serious with that question? You don't remember what happened to Plaxico Burress? Dude shot himself with his own gun which he only had for protection from gangbangers (he was a prime robbery target) and it cost the NY Giants a possible 3rd Super Bowl under Coughlin. You don't remember the Giants were 10-1 when that happened, and defending Super Bowl champions, and they were never the same team after because they lost their red zone threat on account of nobody could match up with Plaxico who could just outjump DBs in the red zone for anything thrown high his way?
Burress Will Receive 2-Year Prison Sentence
Plaxico Burress, who was a Giants wide receiver when he accidentally shot himself last year at a Manhattan nightclub, accepted a plea deal that will result in a two-year sentence.
