  1. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/repeal-1986-hughes-amendment

     

    The 1986 Hughes amendment (as part of the Firearm Owners Protection Act) is an unconstitutional ban that limits law abiding citizens from owning fully automatic weapons that were manufactured past May 19, 1986. Select fire weapons are already very heavily regulated under the 1934 National Firearms Act which requires you to register your gun and submit a tax stamp. Since 1934 there have only been 2 known homicides committed with a legally owned fully automatic firearm and one of them was caused by a police officer. This law does nothing to prevent crime and it raises the price of legal automatic weapons to a ludicrous price due to supply and demand. Repealing the unconstitutional Hughes amendment will restore our second amendment rights that have been under attack for a very long time.

    We the People wish to see the National Firearms Act of 1934 repealed in order to remove regulations on our 2nd amendment rights, increase national economic strength, and provide protection against threats to our national security.


  2. Thanks for the heads up. I called the Hunter Education line, but it wasn't very helpful. The woman on the line told me to look at the website and lectured me about not being guaranteed to get in as a walk-in.

    The full classes seem to get pulled from the website pretty quickly, so I'm hoping someone knows about a firearms session before September other than the one three hours away in Salem, NJ (on the Delaware border).


  3. Sigh:

    " . . . made for murder." I took a survey, and 3/10 of my customers purchase the AR-15 for murder of some sort (government overthrow, domestic violence, "hate crimes," and crimes of affection). Another sixty percent want to "keep their little guns" just so they can feel cool blasting away from the hip like Rambo. The final ten percent shoot paper competively or murder our brothers in the animal kingdom (probably should have binned those results with in the general murder category).


  4. I decided to post my question in this forum since it seems the most appropriate spot for it.  I've been a firearms owner for about a year now and I'm at a point where I am thinking about purchasing a new higher caliber hand gun for home protection as a backup to my shotgun. For a very long time due to a hand injury I could not fire a higher caliber handgun than a .22lr.  Shotgun wise I feel very comfortable with a 12 gauge.

     

    My home is a single level structure and the bedrooms are located very near each other. In the event of an issue where I believe that someone is in my home (which I hope never happens), I will have very little need to clear my home since the intruder will have to come towards us due to the layout of my house.  To be perfectly honest given NJ's laws nor would I go looking for someone if I heard something in the basement. I would simply let the intruder come toward me or leave.

     

    Here is where I keep going back and forth. Since my shotgun is for home defense and not for clays and my budget is well a tight budget I have to stick to. I am unsure if I should simply take the money I would spend on a handgun and ammo for it or simply stick to what I own now and use my money to purchase additional shotgun ammunition? Sure a new handgun is appealing as I can finally shoot something larger than a .22lr but given that I have a family budget to stick to I'm unsure of which road to take.  Any opinions are appreciated.

     

    I'll be happy to help you out. I can easily hook you up with a reliable pistol in any common caliber for under $200. :)


  5. Harvard seems to think the journal is peer reviewed (maybe not faculty edited). "These peer reviewed publications . . . " http://www.law.harvard.edu/current/orgs/journals/
     
    The average Washington and Lee ranking of this law review over the past few years was like 30, so its hardly a glorified student newspaper. The Journal has a couple of US Senators and several US Court of Appeals judges as advisors.

     

    The Harvard Law Review (often sited as the source of Obama's legal credentials) is an equivalent legal review from Harvard.


  6. The results of a study published in the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy (a conservative peer-reviewed law review) point to a negative correlation between gun ownership and violent crime. The comparison of murder rates in industrialized nations is of particular interest.

    An article on Breitbart.com alerted me to this publication, but the Breitbart article incorrectly identifies the research as "a Harvard" study. To be clear, the study was conducted by criminologists external to Harvard, and the results of the study were published by a Harvard scholarly journal.


  7. Thank you. Maybe I'll apply a little bit of both. I'm going to give the koi pond a wide berth with the cyper, since I believe L50 (dose required to kill half the members of a tested population after a specified time period) after 96 hours is in the low single digit parts per billion for most fish.


  8. I'm assigned to an NJ National Guard Unit that will be spending two weeks at Niantic, CT (New London and East Lyme area). During this period we will be out in the field for extended periods of time. Soldiers contract Lyme disease during this exercise, and I'm not going to be one of them. My wife still suffers crippling pain six years after getting Lyme disease when we first moved here. She didn't even spend any time outdoors. I know way to many people with terrible joint pain and neurological disorders stemming from Lyme disease to take any risks and "wait to see if symptoms develop." I have a doxycyclene prescription my doc gave me as a preventive measure, but I would rather avoid getting bitten altogether.

     

    I have a pound or two of cypermethrin (powdered concentrate form), but I wanted to know if anyone else has any recommendations of other commercial pesticides with mild mammalian toxicity that I can use on my boots, uniform, skin, and equipment. I really wish I could get my hands on DDT. I'll appreciate your feedback.
