    Remember that it took over 6 months for NJ to get their permit requirements finalized and classes had to be changed and approved so last year a large number of people were also waiting for that to all get ironed out.

    Bills can and do, all the time. There are a shit-ton of bills that override/violate the Constitution that were passed and are are currently enforced. Judicial review is the end-game solution, but that is very slow, and is becoming more subject to political influence all the time. Fundamental change of some kind is desperately needed, before it is too late.

    Legally they cannot, though you are correct that they often act as if they do which is one of the reasons why the federal courts exist... to determine when a law is in conflict with the constitution. If they want to actually change the constitution, the rules are very clear on how that is done.

    Hmmm, 2A was made so that militias could be called up of regular citizens using their own arms as supplementary to the standing army and the militia was expected to have ammunition for their arms. In other words, the arms and ammunition were expected to be at a similar level to the army. 

    And for all the idiots that think the 1903 Militia act made the National Guard the militia, I submit:

    https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/246

    "10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes

    (a)The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

    (b) The classes of the militia are—

    (1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

    (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia."

     
    Note number 2 in the classes of the militia, that is the rest of us, designated separately from the National Guard or Naval Militia. So even today as of the current law, the body of the citizenry are still considered to be part of the militia by that same government that tries to act like we are not.

    The price of the car at the end of the lease is determined by the residual cost from new not the value of a used version of the same car. They might give you a break on the buy out if it is a particularly huge difference but if used cars are at a premium like it was a year ago, you won’t be getting a deal. 
     

    I will never lease a car that I may want to buy again. If you have a 3 year lease, it’ll probably cost $100 or less a month more to buy it over 60 months. If you buy it out after the lease ends, you usually won’t go for less than 48 months on it so it’ll take a year or more longer to get the car and that’s not even counting the extended warranty you’ll need because the factory warranty will be expired long before the car is paid for.  
     

    If you are going to lease, just get something you will want to get rid of every few years.

    i'd venture to agree with what noir said on this....if they knew it was a death sentence.......

    PUBLIC death sentence in the town square so everyone can see. I am pretty sure anyone looking to copycat will think hard on if they want to be the next on the gallows.

    I use small plastic wall anchors in my revolver. Dirt cheap and you can get them at any hardware store. For testing function on semi-autos I use Tipton 22lr snap caps. They are more rigid plastic but seem to work fine. Every now and then I get one that I need to sand an edge or something so it cycles correctly but they work pretty good overall and aren’t too pricey.

    I have both brands and will go with Dillon every time.

    Can I ask why? I am not using either ( I use Lee but I only do maybe 50 an hour and that is sufficient for me currently) but I have thought about moving to Dillon a few times as well. 
    Thanks
