Wow. Unbelievably annoying. Thanks for the update nonetheless. I just can't get over this.. Sounds like both of us will have waited nearly 8 months by the time we receive a phone call. Something tells me that if the system was "down" for some other type of government service (i.e. Handouts), that they would be a little bit more prompt with their fixing of the situation.

Good luck Sir. I've been a "rifle guy" myself, utilizing only my FID card. However, I too caved and submitted paperwork for 2 p2p's. Unfortunately, I've been waiting since mid-september. Nothing yet.. If you have had a residence in Essex County, I would prepare to wait. Again, it's been well over three months for me and i've been told it may take an additional 3 to 6 months on top of that. Apparently Hurricane Sandy "wiped out" Essex County's ability to report on mental health checks. Ugh.. Good luck though!

Buy the gun. It's yours. Allow her to use this new gun that is YOURS when you go shooting together. Once she takes a liking to this new gun that is YOUR property, she can then decide that she wants to file her paperwork for her own FID card. Once the card is in, if she is "interested" in the firearm, allow her to purchase the firearm through a private sale with all the proper paperwork. DONE. =)

Nobody has any input?

hmm.. so.. does this mean that the Essex County Mental Health checks are moving forward? I applied for two p2p's in September.. Still waiting.

Piers Morgan is simply the worst.

And you have to reason with these people as well. I'm not saying to come off like some right wing militiaman. I would have added further by saying, "Look, i understand that SOMETHING must be done. But, i think the evidence is clear that THAT something is not further gun control legislation. Columbine, one of our worst mass-killing sprees, was undertaken DURING the last Assault Weapons Ban. Also, do you recall Anders Breivik? He killed dozens of people in Norway. That nation has basic Western European Gun Control laws. They obviously DID NOT prevent him from carrying out an attack. The evidence is clear. We need to DEFEND our children. We surround the president with secret service. Our Court Systems are well guarded with ARMED men. Anytime the government feels that they have something worth protecting, they do it WITH ARMED MEN. I think our schools are worth protecting. So why not follow the trend? It seems to work in all those other places... no?"

OMG. This is so hard to watch. I really am upset by all of this. Most of all, the kids. Unbelievable that someone could be that sick and do that to beautiful, innocent children. But secondly, i'm also upset that the media seems so hell bent on attacking the second ammendment AS SOON as they feel like they have the slightest opportunity. It's even worse to that their is SUCH ignorance about the topic. This woman clearly has absolutely no clue about anything involving firearms. I could GUARANTEE that if you showed her a picture of a mini 30 next to an ar15, she would point to the AR and say "THAT's what we need to ban!" Meanwhile she would be totally clueless to the fact that she would be banning both with the legislation that she is suggesting. She has no idea that when she says that she want's to ban "Semi-automatic weapons", she is talking about practically everything.. whether they be rifles or pistols. Anyway, sorry for going on and on.. just need to vent somewhere. Nice find though. At least that guy corrected her on most of what she was saying. Although, i still feel like i could have done better. I would have answered her claim to ban all semi-autos with "What would you suggest we allow american's to have? Muskets? Because that is pretty much what you are talking about. Nearly every modern firearm today is semi-automatic. I'm talking about pistols, rifles, shotguns. Their action's are ALL semi-automatic. Furthermore, the second amendment was not created to protect the rights of hunters. It was made so that the people had the opportunity to defend themselves, against aggressors..whether they be intruders to the home or within a tyrannical government. And i'm not suggesting that that is the case today (tyrannical government). But, let's be honest.. we've seen our fair share of tyrannical government in the western world, outside of the USA, within the 20th century, during modern times. Quite frankly, the second amendment may be the reason that we HAVENT seen a Hitler, Mussolini, or Stalin-esque figure come to power here within our borders." Am i crazy or does that sound like it makes so much sense?

HI Everybody, I was just watching the news and came across Bill O Reilly's show, The O Reilly factor. His talking points weren't THAT bad, but he still flirted with the idea of "tightening" gun control a little bit. Ugh.. In any event, something that he said got me thinking. He was mentioning "semi-automatic's" and how limiting them in Australia reduced crime there. Then in the same sentence, he mentioned how he 100% backs the people's right to own handguns. The guy obviously has no clue what he is talking about, and doesn't even realize that nearly all of those handguns that he loves so much are semi-auto. I looked up Australia law, and sure enough, they have pretty much banned all semi-autos, including handguns. It is extremely restrictive there, and it looks like most "collectors" own deactivated firearms. Anyway, my point is, nearly everything i've seen in the news leads me to believe that NONE of these people know what a semi-automatic even is. I don't think they realize that if all semi-autos were banned, we'd be left with nearly nothing. This scares me. The representative from Gun Owners of America didn't even really correct him or point any of this out. I feel like sometimes it would be better if I were on these shows debating these people. I'm worried that the current administration is going to start drumming up support for "restricting semi-auto's" and will in-effect destroy 2A. What do you all think? Is there anyway to enlighten people a little better, as to what a semi-automatic even is. -BM

ha just realized this thread is like three months old.

Congrats buddy! I just got mine over the weekend as well, so i definitely know how it feels. Enjoy!

I must say, i feel like this is the big one. I think the Obama Administration is going to be able to pass whatever gun legislation that they feel fit to pass. It's very hard to argue FOR guns when there are poor childrens' lives ended in the mix. The liberals can really use this one and i think there will be an AWB 2. Unfortunately, i also think that this will not be about the "features games". They may just push through a ban on semi-autos AKA ban of modern firearms.

Hey, yea definitely no worries. The gun is a beauty either way.

haha 5.56 AND 223 rem

thanks. You know.. i'm relaly not sure! lol what makes it a plus package?

860.00 got me the rifle, a hard case, a 30 round mag pinned to 15, manual.

Thanks guys! Definitely will be hitting up the range tomorrow again! Let me tell ya.. she's more fun than my SKS.. still love the the good ol' sks but its like night and day with this girl.

Hey everybody, Just thought i'd share my new toy... A stag arms 2. I picked it up today, and must say that i couldn't be happier. Isn't she a beauty? -BM

Oh, believe me, i've been thinking about it. It's unreal. The hurricane hit well after when they should have ALREADY had that paperwork completed. In any event, what can i do now but wait? Good luck and everything, but i tend to think we are at the mercy of the system at this point. When they want to fix things, they'll fix things. Believe me on this though, if it were food stamps or some type of garbage social welfare program that was "backed up" they would be scrambling to help the leeches who sit at home and never pay a dime of taxes.

Well, I'm screwed too. I've been waiting since 9/20/2012. Since i was once a resident of Essex County, i am now waiting on their mental health check. (my Hudson county check came back already) Apparently what has already taken three months, is about to take another 6 months. So, in all? 9 months. i'll be lucky if i get my two P2P's by summer.

I second that. That is your best bet. You definitely do not want to be warring with your neighbors, or anyone that you have to see everyday for that matter.

I Unfortunately, no.. it wouldn't have. It would have just made the situation seem a bit too "dangerous" for most journalists writing about the story in New Jersey. This man saving his business without a shot fired is (but with a gun) is probably the best possible scenario to show 2A in a positive light to these liberal morons. With that being said, i do agree with your assertion that the dirt-bags should get that type of treatment in a free state that isn't fighting tooth and nail to hold on to what they barely have.

Exactly what i said... OP?

Can't stress how much i agree with the above poster... Did your kid draw those pictures himself or was he told to? If he drew them himself, it would kind of be ridiculous to go running in and huffing and puffing about something HE decided to draw HIMSELF. If THEY (i.e. the teachers) made it (anti-gun rhetoric) a topic of discussion in class, then that is a completely different story and i would go ape-shit. So, what is it?

Couldn't have said it better myself. People need to take into account who it is that is buying pitbull breeds. I've owned pitbulls my entire life. My father has as well. However, neither of us act like thugs or ghetto morons. Unfortunately, many ghetto morons end up buying Pitbulls because they think they are "Strong and tough yo". Again, if the Labrador Retriever suddenly had that allure, these ghetto morons would be buying them instead, training them to be aggressive, and soon enough would be getting mauled by their Labs.
