What a koinidink! I hope what he says in bold is true, and I hope I'm alive to witness it.

The Bible states that Judas Iscariot was paid 30 pieces of silver to sell out Jesus to the cops and soldiers who killed him.
New York State is offering “people” $500 to turn in their neighbors for having full-capacity magazines for their guns. ….turn in their neighbors for something that harms no one. Turn in their neighbors for having or selling a piece of plastic that I could legally sell in my town in Wyoming in a yard sale in my front yard. (If I paid the city a five-dollar fee for a permit permission slip to have a yard sale.)
It is believed by many scholars that the “pieces of silver” Judas was paid were Tyrian shekels, which were 1/2 troy ounce of silver each. So the 30 pieces of silver was 15 troy ounces. The current price of silver is, give or take, and depending on the time of day, about 29 dollars per troy ounce. 29 x 15 = 435.
500 dollars, after New York State income tax, is right around $435. So people are literally being invited by the State in New York to sell out their neighbors for the same price that sold out Jesus. I almost wonder if this is intentional?
I’m not a Christian. But all Christians should remember this: Jesus was killed by the government….for the crime of questioning the government….with the cooperation of police and soldiers who were “just doing their job”….after a legal trial in a court of law.
Christians should also remember that it’s not very Christian to nark out your peaceful neighbors. And you may be held accountable for this in heaven.
Christians and non-Christians alike should also know this: at some point this statist tyrannical insanity will end. And there may be Nuremberg-type trials for collaborators. In other words, you may be held accountable for this on earth.
The thought that people would actually turn in their neighbors for something non-violent, like having pieces of plastic that the State deems are “too big”, makes me ill. The thought that they might do it for a little bit of money makes me ill. The thought that the State is offering this stolen money to encourage people to turn in their neighbors for non-crimes me makes me very ill. I really would hope no one will do it.
However, I grew up in New York State, and I can tell you this: people will do it. In fact, they already are.
