The April 4th, 2012 opinion piece in the Asbury Park Press, talking about the 4th amendment, said the following, "The first 10 amendments were specifically crafted to protect individuals from the abuses of government agents." Why this is huge, if you havent already figured it out, is that the media always refers to the second amendment in terms of hunting and target shooting, here they acknowledge, accidentally, the true purpose and intent of the second amendment. The next time they trash the second amendment, keep this editorial handy and remind them of what they said on this day. This really is huge, in my humble opinion.

      The Court after Scalia: The next “conservative” Justice may not save the Second Amendment
       
      A thoughtful analysis by someone who knows a thing or two about the second amendment. He doesn't paint a rosy picture.

      Gun confiscation is one step closer in Connecticut. The mainstream media spins it as “one more chance” for non-compliant gun owners who failed to register their scary guns before the January 1 deadline.
       
      In reality, these letters - 106 to rifle owners, and 108 more to residents with standard capacity magazines – are the first step in the Connecticut State Police beginning to round up guns arbitrarily made illegal last year in that state. These guns include America’s favorite rifle, the AR-15 and magazines over 10 rounds, which include the standard capacity magazines made for that America’s favorite rifle.
       
      Failure to register is now a felony now in Connecticut.
       
      How long will it be before there is bloodshed over this law? We’re not sure, but we’re confident it is coming unless the law is rescinded or struck down by the courts.
       
      Mike Vanderboegh of the edgy Sipsey Street Irregulars released an open letter a couple of weeks ago, warning of what’s coming to Connecticut. The Connecticut State Police aren’t listening. Yet.
       
      We suspect attitudes may change after the first few rounds of bloodshed.
       
      As it stands right now, the best estimates are that 4% of newly-regulated guns and magazines in The Nutmeg State have been registered, leaving a hundred thousand or more newly classified potential felons looking over their shoulder.

      One more chance for gun owners
       
      Posted: Monday, February 24, 2014 3:35 pm | Updated: 3:36 pm, Mon Feb 24, 2014.
       
      Manchester, CT (Journal Inquirer) – When state officials decided to accept some gun registrations and magazine declarations that arrived after a Jan. 4 deadline, they also had to deal with those applications that didn’t make the cut.
       
      The state now holds signed and notarized letters saying those late applicants own rifles and magazines illegally.
       
      But rather than turn that information over to prosecutors, state officials are giving the gun owners a chance to get rid of the weapons and magazines.

      100 letters don't seem like much, but it might be their strategy to tackle a little at a time when it comes to the overall 100k non-compliant gun owners. I'm giving strong consideration to the idea of making future purchases outside state lines.

      I know that all you New Jerseyians have your own problems with the many proposed State gun control bills but do not forget that our old friend Joe Biden is still pushing for gun control on a National level. He just sent out a letter trying to drum up support. Read more here.

      Hi all this will be my first created thread and i felt like this is bothering me so what better place to get it off my chest than this forum.

      As you can see from my signature I am new to purchasing firearms and have yet to even be printed until next week. Let me first state that i am 26 and nobody in my immediate family is a gun owner, we have all lived in cushy suburban neighborhoods for my whole life at least.

      Sooo, making the long story short, I moved out a couple years ago and, over the years, went to the range 3 or 4 times with my brother-in-law who is a local LEO and firearms instructor. I became very interested in shooting his glock 22 and 26 and decided i would start this rediculous FID process in NJ.

      Every so often I started mentioning it to my parents, grandparents, sisters, uncle , you name it. I would gradually ease it into conversations and let them know i am intending on exercising my 2nd amendment right. Well, let me just tell you guys i had no idea some of my family thought i shouldnt have a gun because i play first person shooter video games and am an avid paintballer and "its dangerous" or "i'll shoot somone". My dad even went so far as to say "Your not trying to get a gun to do anything extreme are you?" Obviously I was shocked and somewhat offended.

      Other comments from family members were typical as you could imagine. I wont list them but here are a few randoms....."Why do you need a gun?".... "You never wanted one before why do you now?"..."Why do you care how long your permits take you will have them eventually?"....or....."No Grandma, the police will not always be standing behind you to help"......etc.

      What is everyone's issue? my argumentative statement to them is always "stop being intimidated or afraid of firearms and instead know how to safely operate them and respect them in general, you don't know when that particular skill may save your life"

      Anyone else forbidden to bring up guns at family functions for fear of retribution? I'd imagine for some of you its a regular dinner table convo. Thanks for sharing your experiences and comments, or what you have encountered yourself
