    If you can't handle a little forum discussion without running away like a petulant snowflake, how do you intend to be part of the fight that's coming?  No harm no foul.....but you keep saying the same thing and denying it.  So here..just for you...and a lil laugh...

    ..ummmmmm...  ^^^^  right in your post

     

    Just sayin...

     

    i'll not belabor this any longer because clearly you can't understand the syntax, logic, nor clear meaning of this sentence ...

    "our biggest threat is immigration, all immigration, both illegal and legal.  all for obvious reasons."

    the operative word is THREAT.  i did not say nor imply any specifics of action to be taken with either illegal or legal immigrants.  that alone was YOUR call.  however, ALL immigrants ARE potential threats to America.  this is not the 18th, 19th or 20th centuries, where immigration to our country was encouraged (though to far lesser degrees as time moved forward).  my concern with LEGAL immigrants is, who are they, why do they wish to become American citizens, what do they offer our country, and what is their political consciousness?  you can extrapolate that to a variety of conclusions and find some that are not good for the future of our country.    

    i'm done with this thread.  if anyone has more to say that pertains to my posts, please PM or email me directly.

    I just want to be sure that I know where you are coming from - as you have 14 posts.....  I have a baseline now and can put things in context.

    I disagree with your assessment on legal immigration.  I find that some immigrants are more pro-american than the actual americans that live here.

    Case in point I know someone who is Croatian and she lived through the mess of the 80's there - she is more pro democracy pro Republic Pro Conservatism than as I said many natural born Americans.  

    She sates that she knows what it is like to live under dictatorships and communism and that the current crop of americans have no clue what they are getting into

     

    So legal immigration - that espouse American values - no problem with me - remember and celebrate where you came from but be American first.........

     

    "When [Benjamin] Franklin drew the lightning from the clouds, he little dreamed that in the evolution of science his discovery would illuminate the torch of Liberty for France and America. The rays from this beacon, lighting this gateway to the continent, will welcome the poor and the persecuted with the hope and promise of homes and citizenship. It will teach them that there is room and brotherhood for all who will support our institutions and aid in our development; but that those who come to disturb our peace and dethrone our laws are aliens and enemies forever."

     

    read again what i posted.  yer interpreting my words incorrectly.  where did i specifically state no legal immigration at all?  did i not use the "threat" word?  look, i suspect everyone in this thread is on the same basic page.  our way of life, our liberties (what's left of them), our voice in government - all  is being threatened ever more now than before.  that's all that matters.  too much of the rest is nit picking.  the rough estimate is that there are over 110 million American gun owners with near 400 million guns in their possession.  that NJ is a "may issue" state is just the beginning.  take all these subtle and not-so-subtle political transgressions against we the people and look where it's all heading.  i'd say "wake up America" but too many are hooked on prozac and living with their heads in the sand.  that's the real problem, always has been.  that's why NJ is a CCW "may issue" state.

    What does this have to do with this thread?

     

     

     

    whatever you think applies, and if nothing you can pass it by if ya like.

    this topic has sparked a basket fulla stuff that goes beyond NJ CCW.  it all centers on our collective loss of freedom, individualism, and emphasizes the lack of states following the constitution.  this is all about politicians.  which is about voting.   our biggest threat is immigration, all immigration, both illegal and legal.  all for obvious reasons.

    I think you are making a mistake.  

    Do not dismiss socialists as stupid and having half a brain. They are definitely cunning and crafty. Otherwise they never would have made the "progress" they have in the past 30 years.

    Most of America is conservative. The problem is you have to prove to people that conservatism works. The last POTUS to do this was Reagan.  That's why he took 49 states in 1984.

    Do not dismiss politics. Realistically politics is not getting everything you want. Politics is comprimise.  Many will shout "no comprimise" and wind up with nothing.  The idea is to.make the other side think they've won but they really got nothing.

    For example, support legislation that says every FFL has to provide a gun lock with every firearm sold.  Yes, that does put a burden on FFLS and manufacturers that cost a few dollars which will be passed to the consumer.  Many would see this as an attack on the RKBA.  It would have little impact on that.  But the left would proclaim a resounding victory.

     

    you are preaching to the choir and  you didn't read my post at its intended meaning and you are mistaken.  i know our enemies far better than most.  the socialists are fanatics, no more or less.  they lack common sense, therefore they, too, have a half functional brain at best.  the real half-brained ones are the many Americans that are either ignorant or stupid, and vote by media populism and/or "feelings", or just don't vote.  in the course of the millennia, the pendulum of free societies swings.  the USA is clearly on the down swing and may never recover.  we shall see ... or maybe my grand children shall see.

    Progressivism in this country started over 100 years ago not 30.  Woodrow Wilson was probably the first "progressive" POTUS.  The ideas hung around  and we're revived by FDR, our first Progressive Socialist POTUS.  FDR wanted to make Americans so dependent on the government the Democratic Party would control the country for the next 50 years.  The zenith of FDR's Socialist tendencies was after being warned by Churchill to "watch out for Stalin" he catered to Stalin.  This resulted in the division of Europe and 50 years of Cold War.  Truman and JFK were more like your traditional, old time Conservative Democrats.  If they were to run for POTUS today they'd have to run as Republicans.  The Democrats wouldn't have them.  FDR didn't save the country from the Depression and really wasn't a,great wartime leader IMO.  That's a discussion for another time.

    Progressive Socialism grew under Johnson and was continued by Clinton and Obama.

     

    yes, all true.  the seeds of socialism are near 200 years old here in north America.  however, it has accelerated in the last 3 decades in terms of politics, education and media to the point where it is easily recognizable by anyone with half a brain.  this was not true in the past, and the covert reasons why stupid -not ignorant- Americans will be our ruination.

    Why would the NJ state constitution need to affirm R2KBA? It's in the Bill of Rights, for all Americans. While some states affirm that right in their constitutions, it is not necessary. States DO elaborate on castle doctrines(expanding those rights), more or less when you are allowed use of deadly force.

    Even if it were in the NJ states constitution, it would be quickly ignored.... FFS its ignored as #2 right in the bill of rights. 

    States rights do not triumph individuals rights as outlined in the 10A, that is not a valid argument unless you are arguing the subject isn't a right at all. 

     

    A states rights issue on this subject is when and how you can use a firearm, not the possession or carry of it... NJ may say you need to try and retreat, while Texas and FL have stand your ground laws.. THIS IS STATES RIGHTS..

     

    Well stated.


  8. The emigration of older NJ residents and the immigration of new residents from across the Hudson have taken its toll on Jersey politics and this once red state is now a sick blue.  the right to CCW and defend is but one of many issues chipping away at our Constitution as state after state gives way under the heat of the progressive left wing socialist media, educators, politicians, and stupid Americans who'd sell their souls for free bread and circuses.  There is a lot afoot here in the USA, and all of it is stoking the fire under the pot of Patriots.

    States cannot override the Constitution or Federal law.  They can make state law more restrictive but not contrary to Federal law.  The 10th Amendment let's NJ writ their own carry permit law.

    ... and therein lies the problem that the apathetic American doesn't understand, hasn't been taught, could care less about, and why our country has, over the last three decades, gone progressive left wing socialist.  the patriot pot is slowly but surely heating up.

  10. The vast majority of Americans have lost, or better yet have not been taught how this nation came to be and why, and the reason that our American constitution emphasizes the right to bear arms.  It is our birthright.  It is how we came to be.  It took firearms, bloodshed, tremendous suffering, untold hardship and massive death to form America.  It was a rebellion against a tyrannical government.  Be prepared, patriot brothers.

  11. THAT is the travesty of America - TWO sets of laws and rules, where states can override the American Constitution.  It should be the other way around - states need to ENFORCE the American Constitution, not violate it. 

    Our nation is deep into an ideological civil war that's slowly heating up.  Patriots, be prepared for what's coming.

  12. i've had *MANY* trad muzzleloaders over the last 6 decades, this is my final and last, the one they'll bury me with (nah, it goes to my grandson :) ).  as long as you have some experience with these builds and materials, and have some proper tools, take yer time, and have patience, you will be very satisfied with jim's kit guns.  kits allow lots of personalized options for both function and format, and there are more than a few things i did to create a better gun.

    Forgive me for my lack of knowledge but this is a kit that you purchased and assembled yourself? The wood is gorgeous! 

    yes.  this is not an offshore "screwdriver" kit and some knowledge and tooling is a requirement.  that's extra fancy maple and worth the upgrade cost.  this kit was $1350 shipped and Many of hours of labor into the build.  the wood, barrel, lock, furniture are all top shelf.  i purposely did not finish the barrel or lock and left them in-the-white as was mostly done back in the day, to patina on their own.

  14. A Jim Kibler .54 kit rifle.  I use aqua fortis acid stain under Tru-Oil, also pulled the breech plug and used Nikal anti-seize grease on it as well as when I installed the Chambers white lightening touch hole liner.   Fast ignition using Swiss 3F down the tube and in the pan.  Tanner .526 or Lee .530 ball wrapped in .015 pillow ticking.  Easy loading, accurate out to 100 yards (so far!).  Fast ignition with the excellent Chambers Colonial lock.  I highly recommend Jim's excellent kits!
