People have thoughts on this 'illegal firearm' taken off the street by the NYPD

Um, did someone try to rob the stagecoach in Crown Heights, Brooklyn? From the NYPD’s 77th Precinct:

#OneLessGun on the streets of #CrownHeights today thanks to our Response Officers who arrested two males last night in possession of this illegal firearm. Despite the effects of the pandemic citywide, gun arrests have increased as we continue our practice of precision policing. pic.twitter.com/yo6sd8yY7K

No, not a comedy:

One FEWER Single Action .22 Revolver on the streets of the @NYPD77Pct . Wow. And I thought that Brooklyn 99 had all of the comedy streaming around here. SEVEN-SEVEN!
