CNN) An 18-year-old from Ohio is facing weapons charges after officers patrolling a Times Square subway station on Friday found him with an AK-47 and a loaded magazine, police said.

Saadiq Teague, of Canal Winchester near Columbus, was arrested Friday afternoon, the New York Police Department said.

Teague was sitting down while charging his phone at the subway station, and had the unloaded AK-47 in front of him, a law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the situation told CNN on condition of anonymity. The teen also had a gas mask with him, the source said.

Four years of bogus poisoned messaging has conditioned these assholes to believe they are somehow entitled, and maybe even obligated to do this shit these days, and it doesn't take much to trigger them.

On Edit: it looks like something else triggered him

Father of teen arrested with AK47 in New York subway station was killed in police shootout

The father of the teenager who was charged for bringing an AK-47 assault rifle into New York’s Times Square subway station was killed in a police shootout with Ohio officers last week, the New York Post reports.

Andrew Teague, 43, was shot by police on 3 March after he was pursued on Interstate 270 in Columbus, Ohio.

The pursuit started when authorities attempted to arrest the man for a felonious assault warrant from an incident on 2 February, and Mr Teague attempted to flee.

Police then chased the man for one hour before Mr Teague exited his vehicle and exchanged gunshots with officers. The suspect was shot during the exchange, WBNS-TV reported.

This comes as Mr Teague’s son was arrested in the New York subway on Friday for possession of an AK-47 assault rifle and gas mask, according to law enforcement.

7. Begging for our lawmakers

To legally ban the sale automatic weapons!

They’re way too easy for any Tom, Dick, or Harry to buy

9. My guess is it was semi-auto

I hope they put him in a jail for a long time

10. One could make the argument that ship sailed years ago

There's already a ton of these assault weapons out there, so getting your hands on one isn't brain surgery. Hell, the assholes hording the weapons may even embrace a ban on new weapon sales because it would drive the price up. Ain't America grand?

8. This is NOT your typical gun-news story

The kid's father was killed by police in a shootout ONE MONTH AGO! The kid shows up in NYC carrying the AK-47, and he's sitting down in a subway station with the gun laying on the ground when the cops approach him. Also there's weed, a bong, and a gas mask. All I'm saying is, this does not fit the typical threats we read about.
