"While none of the guns recovered were made by Smith & Wesson, Mr. Castillo had experience assembling guns and understanding how to fix them, and during at least one firearms sale, Mr. Castillo provided instructions about how to compile and operate the guns that were purchased," James said.. The mayor said he favored a residency requirement for New York City cops. Earlier the Sewell, who lives in Nassau County, said she didn't think that was necessary.
