Hidden Camera Allegedly Shows Candid Comments by Husband of NY Paper Publisher: ‘Get Them Back Down to One Bullet Magazines’

Jan. 15, 2013 10:39am Jonathon M. Seidl

A new hidden camera video by James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas group caught some allegedly candid comments by the apparent husband of the publisher behind the New York paper that printed the names of local pistol permit holders.

In the video, O’Keefe’s group is posing as a newly formed organization called Citizens Against Senseless Violence. The group secretly films themselves as they go around to the homes of Journal News employees — the paper that published the permit holders’ names. They then ask them to place a sign saying “This home is proudly gun free” on their front lawn.

All the homes and residents refuse — and the group is sometimes met by armed security or police. But when the group shows up at the home of what it says is publisher Janet Hasson, they are met by a man who says he is her husband. And that’s when the video — which is highly edited — relays some of what he says.

“I moved to Canada,” the man says before an edit and then adding, “Because I hated guns.”

Still, he won’t place the sign on his lawn but says he still will take one for a possible later date. But he also adds, “The issue is never gonna be guns. What the issue is is that you gotta get ‘em back down to one bullet magazines.”

He also points to armed security guarding his property because, he says, his wife has received death threats. You can watch that section of the video below:

As for the rest of the video, you can watch that at the end of the story. However, we should point out two things.

First, TheBlaze does have reservations about undercover videos. In general, our philosophy has been that they — as well as ambush journalism — should be used only in extreme circumstances when one has exhausted all other options and all applicable recording laws should be followed.

Second, it’s understandable that those affiliated with journalistic outlets would not want to post such signs. Those in the journalism business are encouraged not to affiliate themselves with interest groups, politicians, or the like. In fact, there are those organizations that forbid taking public stands on divisive issues. Placing the sign that O’Keefe’s group is advocating for, then, would likely violate many newsroom practices.

With that said, here’s the full video, which also features MSNBC host Toure and one man who actually is carrying a concealed weapon in his home* when the group shows up:

*Editor’s note: As the video notes, ironically the homeowner was misidentified by retaliatory bloggers who published names and addresses of Journal News employees. He, in fact, is not a Journal News employee nor is his wife.

  He tricks the commies all the time. Liberals think you shouldn’t have guns, but they can. Al Gore is a typical example of a liberal hypocrite. They think they are better than everyone else. They are very elitist and arrogant.

WHat is so self revieling is when asked to place the sign proclaiming this house is proudly gun free they refuse. They know what makes a criminal hesitate is not knowing if the home owner may be armed. Then they all hide behind guns yet despise them, wow, maybe the security should be unarmed since libs fear inanimate object like a gun.

Truth is the Commie/lib/progressives just want to disarm you and I because then they will be able to bulldoze the Constitution without fear of the armed citizen uprising. Look at Middle East, ever see a disarmed people effectivly rise up and cast off the Dictator, I never have, the Western World dumped tons of guns on the Middle East allowing the citizen to rise up.

Whats the difference between a slave and a freeman?
The slave does not own any weapons.

If the 2nd Ammendment falls so do the rest and Tyranny wins and forces us into enslavement. Remember with libs/progressive/Dems/Commies they suffer from “projectionism” they accuse you of their problems and tell you what they will do by saying it is what you are going to do. Such as when Biden said, “They gonna put you back in chains” was him saying the Dems are gonna put us back in chains. Also remember the Dems were the slave holdersandthe Repubs freed the slaves, study history so you do not repeat the mistakes.

“TheBlaze does have reservations about undercover videos.”

Adherence to ethics and the rule of law is admirable, but the problem with this is that the radical Marxist Communist Nazis DO NOT adhere in any way and, in fact, have made cheating, underhanded Black Ops methods an art form, all the way down to the street level.

THEY are taking illegal videos of YOU.

More about that later.

Everyone here either should know, or already knows, that those dossiers they’re just now getting around to mentioning have been being amassed for decades and it’s not good.

Somewhere (Utah, now) for each person, there might just be a two-foot-thick “dossier” and/or data bank filled with infinite meaningless, daily details, as well as an endless torrent of outrageously phony and outlandish Sarah Palin-style accusations, defamation and lies. (Pick any name – you’ve seen it enough times by now….).

…And, as of about a decade ago, video and still footage.

As soon as Mr. Hasson’s armed guards at the newspaper goes down to 1 bullet, I’ll think about it. What an idiot. I’m not a good enough shot to protect myself and family with my muzzle-loader.

  that’s what I was thinking. I don’t know everything about guns but I know when I heard those words “one bullet mags” I knew it didn’t make sense. Isn’t the whole purpose of mags is so you don’t have to load a gun one bullet at a time, right?

  Exactly. Why would you need a magazine if your pistol/revolver/rifle can only hold one bullet? Also, what would you call a revolver that only holds one bullet, a “stationary?”

Well done James O’Keefe and Project Veritas .
Exposing the hypocrisy and cowardice of the blatantly biased media is a perfect example of their fraudulent demonizing of anyone who doesn’t agree with their socialist platform .

Now go after Piers,Tingles,Gregory ,Brokaw,Costas…..
Get Biden,Bloomberg,Reid,Pelosi……to walk unarmed/ with no bodyguards through American ghettos .

  did you read the editors note on the bottom of the article? the person(s) that they were harassing, weren’t “the publishers” at all, not even employees… to put it another way, james okeefe just basically harassed a normal citizen who had no relation to the newspaper or story.
  
  so, his entire “sting” was a total bust, and you put that as a footnote? blaze, is this what you call journalism?

Now magazine capacities are getting mixed up, a one bullet magazine isn’t much of a magazine. At that rate you’d be better off hand loading each round, it can be done but it probably be a bit difficult with some types of firearms.

Maybe we should go back to the ball and powder days. No magazines and you to load each shot, the average time for that I think is two minutes each time to load. Might be enough satisfy that side, at least for now

This guy must have had a rude awakening then cause Canadians learned to not TALK about the guns they own. We’ve had libs on steroids for decades here, and you don’t say nothin’ ta no one.

By the way, isn’t it laughably ironic that putting a “This Home is Proudly Gun Free.” sign on your front lawn is the equivalent of strapping a bull’s eye to your back?

I see so many hypocrites it is disgusting to me that they tell every1 else to get rid of there stuff yet they keep there’s where those guys with guns on the list? Those guy’s are there protecting for money . If this other man really hated guns he would by no means have the nerve to allow some1 with a gun to protect him.. This man guarding him is an enemy of his to isn’t he because he has a gun. Pierce There are no guns in Uk No Guns we have 35 to 40 gun crime in Uk compared to U.S. By the way don’t forget gore he hates oil Right. I love the constitution. But all of these hypocrites think there going to live in a love love love world. It will never happen even in the day of the antichrist he will have opposition.you will never have a world peace for long it will be a imitation after you are decieved.

“”He also points to armed security guarding his property because, he says, his wife has received death threats. “”

At that point he should have been asked if the security Guards only had one bullet magazines…

  Do the rest of us get private armed security if we get death threats? Some animals are more equal than others.

  Their goal is to make you completely helpless, and defenseless. They can afford private security. The rest of us are screwed, and we should just accept our victimization and thank the Obamessiah it wasn’t worse. They also want to make sure that there is never any possibility ever that common serfs might rise up and violently oppose their schemes when they push them into tyranny and fascism.

Beck, I’ll be dropping my subscription too after your words today, I will not give-in to the enemy.

Publish what items she might have in her house, her working hours, type of security.. What’s good for the goose. Fascists like this broad think that they are in a special aristocratic class, untouchable by others. She needs to be shown that she is subject to the same treatment that she forces on others.

Maybe we should make sure papers go back to one page too. And bills… Definitely bills.

The Blaze is sounding like MSM when talking about ambush journalism… especially when talking about a publication that depicts itself as journalism. Journalist know all the tricks and sometime surprising them is the best way to get the real answer.
