First, your history teacher should be shot for not having taught you how our republic works or you should be spanked for not paying attention. Once a bill passes one house (in this case, the Assembly), it moves to the next house (the Senate). There, it goes to Committee where they can decide whether or not they are going to vote on it as it stands it or send it back for changes. If it passes the Senate, it goes to Christie's desk. He can make it law or veto it. To over rule his veto they need 27 votes in the Senate and 54 votes in the General Assembly. It would be very difficult for them to get that in the Assembly. Senate they might be able to swing if some Reps cross the aisle trying to be political.

Please tell me someone is taping this. I just got home from work. We need to dissect this, post it on YouTube. Show people how friggen dumb these legislators are.

Is this Charles Mainor speaking?

Typical government. Tells you something is going to start at 10 AM. They really mean 11. "Overflow room holds 99 but they only let 50 in" Must be saving room for their Brady friends.

Please continue to keep us updated. I am stuck at work and really wanted to be there but used all my sick time with the flu.

I don't post here a lot but I wanted to thank everyone here who took the time to attend. I had to work but it makes me feel a lot better knowing we had good people there.

Thank you very much. I will contact them.

A good friend of mine wants to get her FID and lives in Clinton Township. When she picked up the paperwork, not only was there a ton of ancillary stuff but also an "Employment Verification" sheet which tells her employer she is getting a firearm and that they need to confirm she has a job. How is this legal!? She works in a very sensitive employment field and one where getting a firearm should be none of the business of her employer. Her employer is also a liberal and anti-gun. Any advice?

We need mental health care reform in this country so bad but the use of guns by spree killers overshadows the real danger; the human mind. The human mind's capacity to cause harm to others knows no limits and we need to make sure the mental health community gets the funding and tools it needs to get help to those that are most vulnerable and dangerous in our society.

Fridays the Range Officer is Marc. He's a really cool guy and if you ever have any questions, feel free to ask him. He'll give you great tips and advice. I wish I could come give you a hand but my fiance is dragging me to a concert.

Pretty close to an original look. Nice.

Awesome collection! I'm jealous.

I have remedied the hair trigger and bolt issues. But now it looks like the follower assembly is another problem! It is very loose and the reason it seems to be loose is because the pin on the magazine is loose (it moves side to side slightly). Is there any way to tighten this pin? I have tried with pliers and wrenches but it won't budge or squeeze.

Which I can respect to some certain degree but I felt like you guys were beating a dead horse on that one. If anyone has any advice on replacing a sear, I'm all ears though. That one I am not practiced at.

Alright, despite many of you insisting that I clean my gun 10 times over... I took it to an actual gunsmith for a diagnosis. He said some Bubba wanna-be gunsmith went and filed down the sear in hopes of making the trigger lighter for his dainty fingers. He ended up making it worthless. I just ordered a new sear and trigger assembly to see if replacing it works.

Thanks but I have cleaned this bolt so thoroughly that you could eat off it. I took it apart, let it sit in acetone. Scrubbed it in the acetone with a toothbrush. Then I cleaned it off with boiling water and finally put a coat of Remington oil on it.

I have cleaned it with acetone as I said. I also cleaned the bolt with boiling water after. No cosmo is left on that sucker. The major issue is the hair trigger now.

I just bought my first Mosin Nagant and it is the M44 version. I got it for $180 and though I love it to death, it has caused me some minor headaches. Going to make a long story short here: Took it to the range the and shot 1 round through it. I pulled up the bolt to eject the round and it got stuck. Range Master gave it the "Soviet slap" and it released. He then fires another round but then the bolt wouldn't go forward. Go home and my Green Beret neighbor gets the bolt to function again but it keeps stick. Also, the gun has a nasty hair trigger and sometimes goes off if you smack the bolt. He recommended cleaning the hell out of it so I tried traditional gun oil with little change to the smoothness of the action. Today, I have sense scrubbed the chamber with acetone and a toothbrush while letting the bolt sit in acetone for hours. I've gotten VERY little cosmoline out of either which tells me the previous owner already did this. I then found someone used a 20 gauge brush attached to a drill to clean the chamber so I did that as well. The bolt is still sticky but not as bad as it was. Though the trigger is still very loose! If you smack it on the side, butt or even just TOUCH the bolt, it sets off the firing pin. Suggestions? Recommendations for a gunsmith?

I just wanted to thank you all for the support. My fiance and I did not win but we put up a hell of a fight. You can always count on fellow shooters.

Thank you guys! I reached my quota for positive votes here but I will spread the love tomorrow.

Thanks guys. We are getting up there in votes. We just need to be in the top 25 to make it to the next round of judging.

Sad but true. Especially the stuff about "have you ever killed someone." Not a vet myself but my father was in Vietnam and my grandfather in WWII. I just can't help but cringe at the stuff I hear asked of veterans.

Thank you gents!

Thanks for the support. Babaganoosh, you totally got me.
