    Sig P320 AXG Pro

    Looks like it ships with the tungsten infused polymer grip. Taking that back. Catalog page says full sized polymer x-grip. Guessing that the lighting in the pics people shared of their new ones made it look grayer than it is.
  2. They don't test it and if it is holding 1moa, throw it out because the spec is 2moa. Also, 2moa IIRC is the spec for bullet plus barrel, not the ammo. From the spec MIL-C-9963 Rev. F "3.5 Accuracy. -The average of the mean radii of all targets of the sample cartridges, fired at 200 yards, shall not exceed 2.0 inches." That's slightly under 1moa as 1 moa would be 2.094 inches. That is from a test fixture rather than an actual rifle, but still it's not 2" Typically my expectation for generic m193 ammo is 1.5moa out of most barrels. IT has to be some crap ammo or a crap/worn barrel to see worse than that.
  3. No they told you they weren't the problem. Which is SOP. They are never the problem when asked if they are the problem. They are almost always the problem. By almost, that means unless you resided in the right county during the right years. Then in that case, the mental health record check contributes to the problem. Every other time, it's the officer/clerk doing the paperwork, the "investigating" officer, or the chief not doing that part of their job.
  4. It likely won't make it out of committee in the senate as it exists, but in theory it'd be the fast track to scotus, and be dumped if it has 5 votes to dump it. Then all AWBs would be dead if the ruling was broad enough.
  5. I mean it's not ambiguous. They specified semi-automatic handguns are in common use, and the bill would ban them, so....
  6. No but it's fine to be mad with the PD for not having coverage. My last pistol permit was done in 30 days, but because of vacation and sick leave (i.e. burning days at the end of the year), They burned 45 more days of my permits' lifespan.
  7. Go full John Popper harmonica vest.

    Bitcoin...

    OK... do you remember all the noise over metals markets being manipulated by a number of banks? Well 1) The same people who predicted that behavior and how much it would cost also calculated that it would take even less money to manipulate the crypto market. 2) Those banks got into crypto and put themselves in the same position where all "market" transitions of the commodity being turned into recognized government currency had to pass through them. (i.e. everything but small person to person.) The exception to this being some even LESS ethical people playing that game. 3) The market was even less regulated than the metals market and metals ETFs. And those were very, very manipulated. Unlike with the metals market, there is no commodity with an industrial value at the bottom of the bullshit. Additionally, unlike when that manipulation came home to roost, the banks weren't trying to figure out how to not get caught manipulating a half dozen other things. The SEC blessing unlimited naked shorting in the form of single security ETFs might have eased that pressure in one spot, but imploding CMBSs are going to come home to roost real soon now, so they will still want their cash. Especially with their government co-conspirators looking for a fig leaf to cover the corruption... which will likely be the market with the least exposure for the banks.
  9. An interesting development. Quotes from the volok conspiracy column. “ Does it violate the Second Amendment for the NYPD to deny a Bronx man a license to have a shotgun or rifle in his home because of his 2011 arrest, which did not result in a conviction, for domestic violence? The district court said no, but we're sending it back down for another look, says the Second Circuit, in light of a recent Supreme Court ruling. ” I find this very interesting because this is the second circuit, who not only just rubber stamps 2a violations but helps the state argue them. I wonder if bruen got the message across that it won’t be tolerated any more out if they are just giving the prosecution a do over.
  10. That's great in states where if someone notices, you get told to leave and at worst a misdemeanortrasspassing charge. NJ is making it a major felony.
  11. Whatever it is it should be fairly resistant to most cleaners. Start gentle with soap and water then relube. You can also just jump to any oil and see if that does it.
  12. I think article IV section 1 and 2 and flip sides of the same coin. The privileges and immunities clause in the 14th exists to reiterate section 2 because slavery and civil war. It was then tossed because the authoritative administrative state doesn't like being told they can't do lots of things. Regardless of the actual why, SCOTUS pretty much stands behind it being obsolete, and won't be ruling otherwise because 100+ years of relitigation. but hey history and tradtion may change that.
  13. Not I. Everything seems to be growing really slow this year. Strawberries were the only thing on time. So far I've only gotten straberries, blackberries, and the first cherry tomato.
  14. There were a lot of cultural issues, but at the end of the day it was about money. Discord thought they were worth more than ms did.
  15. If they are treating retired officers. Aka plain old citizens. Differently than the rest of the plain old citizens, that’s probably not going to end well in court.
  16. I don’t think it is clear, and likely depends on what you consider national reciprocity. I don’t think we could get to the final answer in one case Fundamental to the ruling is that the typical citizen has the right to both own and carry arms. You don’t cease having 1a rights when you cross a border. It is also not the case that constitutional rights are tiered. It would not shock me to see a future case establish that carrying cannot be more burdened than purchasing. I also see it as 100% that every state would need to offer permits to out of staters. Not doing so by reciprocity could very feasible be found to be burdensome. I suspect the federal government could create a law setting a standard due to the disparity causing issues with interstate commerce. But that wouldn’t be crafted whole by the court, nor should it be
  17. To have it settled, yes. You are looking at a 1-2 year horizon minimum, but the good news is that there's already a location case in one of the circuits already. Other good news is that you have to wait that long for a decision, but you do not have to wait that long for an injunction. So if they much with the statute, an injunction can be sought in a much shorter span of time. And we are 3rd circuit, and the judge assigned to the 3rd for such things is Alito. I suspect NJ understands this. Which is why they are trying to work within the existing statute. If they do like NY and write up a new statute, they can wind up with an injunction that leaves them with no carry law or significant portions of statute mooted until a decision. (This is essentially what happened in Chicago when they tried to avoid complying with their carry ban). NY is being more ballsy because their justice for such a thing is Sotomayor.

    300 HAM’R

    I doubt you are going to find many people using it. It's very, very close in performance to 300 blackout. It's reason for existing is more or less who cares about subsonic, because hunting!! Except that It's still a necked cartridge which leaves it out of the running in many states. The .350 legend gets you 30-30+ oomph in more deer hunting areas. If you look at ham'r and go ooh better ballistic coefficient, well 6.5 grendel and 6mm arc have it beat by a lot. Realistically, .350 legend is an also ran. For AR hunting with straight wall, it's been .50 beowulf or .450 bushmaster for a while.
  19. I mean at the easy to see level is equal protection. You could also try to dredge up the privileges and immunities clause.
  20. Just look at Heller, it was narrow and cautious. Then Look at McDonald. It was really fairly broad but reserved. Bruen looks radical by comparison. They poke that bear at their own risk. If they were really smart, they'd use NY, NJ, or CA to float a minor case and try to lose it. Then drop gun control from their platform and say not our fault, blame SCOTUS, we are just following the law. The number of gun grabbers who are single issue is small. The number of gun owners who aren't thrilled with the rest of the GOP platform is not. But they won't. So if they were almost as smart, they would abandon everything that was clearly problematic and work with what they have. On the FU to gun owners side of that would be trying to build registries. As much as we hate them, they are hard to argue against constitutionally in a world where the line is drawn in a place that allows permitting schemes. In the realm of a law that might actually be effective at reducing crime a bit, would be universal background checks. Not the bullshit of trying to ban person to person sales, but revising NICS in a manner that it can be used for person to person sales. Make it so you can effectively run a background check on the rando who wants to buy your gun without said rando having to hand over enough information to subject themselves to identity theft.
  21. Does it negate it? Absolutely not, as it was not the question before the court, nor was it fundamentally similar to the question before the court. Does it provide a foundation for challenging it? Yes, definitely. Although your quoted portion is just the kneecapping of means balancing. The elimination of that means that the state can't argue that the state having in interest mitigates any infringement. they ahve to be able to argue by text, history, and tradition that a permitting process or similar analogue was something that existed at the initial signing off on the second amendment, or at the time of reformation after the civil war. That way the people signing off on it could have conceived of said law as a legitimate limitation on the right as they understood it at that time. He specifically calls out intentional delays to attempt to stifle the right as unconstitutional in his ruling. Because of that, there is grounds to argue that even the 30 day limit is invalid since instant background checks are available. The random delays up to and past a year are not only clearly a delaying tactic, but results in unequal treatment under the law. Significantly so. AND we documented the shit out of it. AND there's a shit ton of state testimony to hang them with about how and why.
  22. NJ wants me to write a sizable check every two years for the rest of time. I can keep donating. It'll probably be cheaper long term.
  23. Not necessarily, circuit courts disagree sometimes, and that's what SCOTUS is for. However, sometimes you can draw conclusions about other circuits potential disposition towards a case based on where the respective circuits fall on a given topic. MD is in the 4th, and they are arguably less awful than the 2nd, 3rd, and 9th. Both the 3rd (us) and the 9th historically like to rubber stamp the state by using means balancing less strict than even intermediate scrutiny which which was required by Heller. If you read the reasoning, it's basically rational basis minus the need to prove their is any merit to the belief that what the government has demanded has any influence on the outcome they say it does.
