This is a proposed resolution submitted by Frank Nicely. TN has made no threats to anyone. I doubt there will enough votes to pass it with the threat included. I'm not saying I disagree with the entire message. This is as much politics as a liberal proposing Constitutional Carry in NJ knowing it will never pass.

It would take just as much to change the mag limit from 20 to 100 so why shoot for so low a goal?

uhhhh wtf no cmp? CMP gets their rifles from DoD. They do not get to request any they just get what DoD sends them. The controversy over these rifles was that the US looked at them as "loans" and should be returned to DoD and then ultimately CMP. The Koreans took the stance that the rifles were gifts so they owned them and could sell them for whatever they can get. The Obama administration apparently needs a favor from the Koreans.

Glenn and Bob are correct no use in repeating what they said.

Does artillery count? I've fired or helped fire a few thousand rounds from M107 guns (175mm) and M110 howitzers (203mm). Thousands of rds of 105mm howitzer plus almost a couple thousand rounds from a M2 in SE Asia in the 60s. Other than that 460 Weatherby has been the biggest.

You still need to make the carrier aware its a firearm. Easier to do it at hub. Good to have copy of FFL you are shipping to as sometimes they ask for it and sometimes they don't.

Generally speaking in the US the statute of limitations for misdemeanors is one year, felonies 5 years, and none for murder. There are exceptions. The clock starts with most crimes from the date it is commited but there are crimes where the clock doesn't start until discovery. I can't speak specifically on NJ law.

Better than 98% of intelligence is collected overtly. If this bothers you don't post on the internet.

There was an article about painting your rifle in one of the magazines recently. Can't remember which one, Guns and Ammo, Amnerican Rifleman, and shooting times are those I read regularly.

I hope it helps you decide what weapon to carry. No matter which gun you choose, pick one that is reliable and train with it until you can get fast accurate hits. Nothing beyond that really matters!" I may disagree with some of his methodology but I agree 100% with his conclusions.

So the other morning she asks me what kind of gun Mrs. Giffords was shot with in AZ last yr. I told her I believe it was a Glock 19. She said, well, that gun can shoot 30 rounds in 6 seconds and I think those guns should be illegal. I would have agreed with that speed not being possible until a few years ago. I saw a video of a Federal Air Marshal in CA shoot 11 rds from a G26 in a little over 2 seconds at a holdup man about 20 feet away. He hit with 8 of the 11 rds.

I also see problems with the stupidity of the persons arrested in both cases. The guy decides to confront 5 (possibly armed) gangbangers by himself instead of waiting for the police in the first. Then when 20 more show up he decides to crank off warning shots? NJ law is clear on #2. You must retreat if possible from non deadly confrontations. That's what his brother should have done if possible. Seems like the guy was looking for a way to escalate it taking it out into the street.

I don't think a prosecutor would pursue a transfer issue if a family member used another family member's gun to defend themselves. It would be stupid to do so. If the gun was stolen or otherwise "illegal", they may not be charged with the shooting but could be charged with possession of stolen property, etc, etc.

They can be arrested and charged criminally.

I can understand why Nappen gave that answer. He is considered to be an expert and have all the answers. Giving the most conservative one is the safest course of action. Does anyone have a verified incident where a family member legitamately used another family member's firearm in their home and was charged?

Where did you get the rifle?

If the kid didn't know the gun was in the truck he would have to make a statement to the police or prosecutor or testify at trial. this would also require who did know the gun was there to do the same to verify the kid's statement. They would also have to explain how the gun was secured in a toolbox that was open enough to see the gun case. Very messy situation for the defense to try and talk themselves out of. There is also the issue if the jury would believe someone did not know the gun was there.

You'd be hard pressed to convince a jury he didn't know there was a gun in his truck that he put there. Mens Rea has little application to malum prohibitum crimes. You're guilty because you got caught doing it. Your mental state is irrelavent. I know of a lot of criminals doing time for crimes where there was no evil state of mind.

If you read usnmars's post #10 you will see the ocean can fix itself as "unlogical" as you seem to think my statement is. If you remember shortly after the well was capped they were sending aircraft out to find masses of oil on the surface and they had trobule finding any. As usnmars said, crude oil is an organic compound and there are bacteria in the ocean that will eat it up. probably more damage is done every year from oil deposits off the coast of California that seep through the ocean floor from the weight of the ocean pressing down on it. If they would let oil companies drill off the coast of CA there would be less pollution from crude oil there as the pressure on the deposits would be relieved. Treehuggers said when the spill started in the Gulf it would be lifeless for 5-10 years. That is no where near the truth as is evident now.

If the gun case was in plain view that would establish PC for the search. My understanding is that in NJ, state LEOs are still required to ask consent to search a MV even if they have PC. However, I don't know how far this has to go. In this case if it was "What's in the gun case?" and the response was "a gun", I wouldn't think the LEO needs to continue with consent or get a warrant. The PC was established and the actor admitted a violation. This only goes for NJ as in the Federal system or any other state I'm aware of if the officer has PC they can search a MV without a warrant or consent with few exceptions.

I never said everything was back to normal in the Gulf. It is recovering faster than all the treehuggers said it would.

You need to look at several things here. 1. The kid made a big mistake. That doesn't excuse him from the law whether you like the law or not. 2. Don't flame the cop for arresting him. Would you say if a cop stopped Harris and Klebold on their way to Colombine that day they should have just been told to take their guns home? 3. The why he had the guns in the truck are things that come to light with the detectives and lawyers after the arrest. 4. I agree that you don't need a "gun lawyer" but a good criminal defense lawyer. The kid broke the law, There is no doubt about that. There is no complicated interpretation of the law in this case so no need for a "gun lawyer". A good criminal defense lawyer may be able to get the charges reduced to a lesser offense. The bag is in the prosecutor's hands as this case is pretty cut and dry as it has been explained. There is little reason for him to dismiss the charges. 5. This is a hard thing for the 2A groups to defend as the law is very clear and its hard to defend guns in schools. I have to dig out my old Nomex flight suit as its the only flameproof garment I own.

I'm not concerned about the long term environmental impact . Look at what happened in the Gulf recently. According to the tree huggers it was supposed to take years before the area recovered. Yes, it was a mess for a little time but the ocean knows how to fix itself. We lost over 1500 merchant vessels in WWII and when you combine this with warships and ships from other countries I would guess well over 10,000 ships lost from 1939-1945. All of them carried oil as fuel or cargo. How much cleanup was done? Zero.

We have been led to believe by many manufacturers that they have found the "problem" with something that has been in use for many years. If you want to believe them all we'd be using handguns with moon metal frames, carbon fiber slides, internal parts forged and hand fitted internal parts made by Santa's elves. The gun would have to be equipped with night sights, a laser, a tactical light, and a radar target aquisition system. The magazines would cost $200 and have to have redesigned feed lips, followers, base pads, a round counter, and loaded with premium ammuntion that costs $15 a round. Some of these can be called 'improvements" but most important is what works as close to 100% for you.

I can't see why you feel this way. I own a kukri but have never been a Gurkha.
