Pulled from another site and thought this was interesting in the wake of more AWB talks:

For the remainder of the time after the ban expired, most of the shootings involved none of the so called "assault weapons", including the major ones: Virginia Tech massacre, Red Lake massacre, Amish school shooting, Northern Illinois University Shooting, and Oikos University shooting.

Hello everyone. I'm listing my Henry Steel Boy in 357 Magnum up for sale today. It's the older model without the side loading gate. I'm asking for $700 for the rifle. I'm located in Woodbridge Township and am willing to accommodate any buyer, distance wise, as long as it works for my schedule. An NJ FID and matching DL are required to complete the sale and all FFL/shipping fees are the buyers responsibility. The first to post "I'll Take It" wins the sale.

Get some cleaning mats. I clean them at my kitchen island. Nothing gets on the counter and I can take my time. Look up Tek Mats

Generally, ranges have strict rules about uncased firearms being anywhere but on the firing line. In other words, if you aren't on the line shooting, your firearm must be in a case. No opportunity to do any cleaning, and likely no place to do any cleaning. Like Mr Stu sez, no range is going to expose itself to unnecessary risk.

I don't think any range is going to want you taking anything apart on the range itself. They probably wouldn't want you interrupting the other shooters when they have to call a ceasefire for you to retrieve springs that fly down range, or soaking the bench with solvent. If they don't provide an area for cleaning it's probably not going to happen there. I also do not have any permanent location for cleaning. I have my cleaning gear in plastic tubs/totes that I store in the garage. I'd setup a space in the garage but too clod in the winter and too hot in the summer so it's either the kitchen table or my desk while watching gun tube -
Fun fact. Registered R's currently outnumber the D's by almost a million in FL. Considering R's surpassed D's only a few yrs ago I'd say that's a huge swing and this state is gtg for a while. Just not with realestate....
