Thanks for posting & the kudos! The NRA is gearing-up for law suits. That means MONEY is being spent! Meetings will be held at SHOT Show. Anthony (ANJR&PC Exec. VP) is going to SHOT. Christian Ragosta, NRA-ILA Rep for NJ is headed to SHOT. Coordination is happening! There's shit that I know that I can't say. We're trying to avoid the "Chicken Little" Syndrome by weeding-out the Bills that never make it out of committee. We're working with Mark Cheeseman. We're working with EVERYBODY that attended NJSAFECON! Because all of those groups have a proven track record of WORKING TOGETHER for the common good!

Lease only makes sense if you can deduct it as a business expense. Otherwise, it's for people who can't really afford what they are driving...

EXCELLENTLY PRESENTED, as always Peel! Having all of our MIRV's (our arsenal as you put it so eloquently) strike at once (ICBM's that separate into several reentry vehicles--H Bombs) will hopefully assure the destruction of these nuclear Bills rearing their ugly heads . To Everyone, not just Peel: WORKING TOGETHER for the COMMON GOOD was never more important than it is RIGHT NOW! That means just cause ya spent $50 or less on dues to a 2A organization, yer not "off-the-hook" just yet. And ya don't get to bitch just yet. Not enough "skin in the game to bitch" ! Writing a check is great, but what we need RIGHT NOW is folks TO DO THINGS! We're ramping-up now! Plenty of work ahead, so who wants a "piece of the Action"? Committees need bodies to be effective. Egos get left at the door. Sleeves get rolled-up. LET'S GO! Rosey

Yep... lawsuits must be the focus in this Murphy era, no doubt. I've been thinking and saying that for several months now... and to know that those plans are afoot is great news. That said, I never completely discount the impact of voters contacting their representatives' offices, especially when they're unhappy about something... and especially if we could summon a tidal wave of calls. The "one-two punch" of facing lawsuits on the one hand and riled up voters on the other could be enough to give more moderate legislators some pause - and make them think, "uh-oh...what hornet's nest has Murphy stirred up for us here?" (Especially if those voters are saying: this has inspired me to campaign for/contribute to your future opponent! ...and similar sentiments.) Besides, if nothing else... you tie up the time of their staffers, LOL. So, if these various 2A orgs begin filing suits and then issue a call to action to "start calling your legislators" - I think it's a strategic error to dismiss it out of hand! We'll need to leverage EVERY tool in our arsenal, not just one! Lawsuits, donations, phone/calls & letters, ongoing recruitment to the shooting sports - it's all necessary.

I used to think leasing was a crock too. Then five years ago I did the math. The last car I owned was an Olds Intrigue loaded. I owned it for 13 years and 160,000 miles. After I sold it I added up the cost of the car, maintenance and repairs and divided by the number of months. Answer: $285/month. So now for an extra $25 to $50 per month I can drive a brand new car and have no unexpected repair bills. Everything's always under warranty. (Of course the insurance on a new vehicle is more than it was the last 9 years on my Intrigue.) One other thing. If the car you own is seriously damaged in an accident, that fact will greatly reduce the resale price when they run the CarFax report. You have to eat the loss. In the case of the lease, you hand in the key and walk away. (This assumes in both cases you have the car repaired under insurance.) Of course getting a good price on a lease is a whole other post.

I believe that is a gross under representation. I'd say it's closer to 30% of homes have firearms and in many of them both husband and wife shoot. The problem is not the % of gun owners, it's the gun owners that don't own black rifles and do not feel threatened by a ban.

For me - I do not want anyone from the ATF inspecting my home - my books or anything. Why given anyone an open door to just show up and look around........ but that is just an opinion.

I noticed this afternoon that ANJRPC recently updated their homepage... among other items, they have joined a federal legal challenge (Duncan vs. Becerra, a California case on appeal to the 9th district) which opposes CA's ban on magazines of 10+ rounds. It could be headed to SCOTUS (hell, SCOTUS has to take a 2A case at some point, right?!) There's also a radio interview linked there that was also interesting in that it sort of presents a glimpse of what's coming. So now... looking at the "big picture"...it would appear that not only are several 2A orgs within NJ cooperating with each other, but there are partnerships being formed with 2A groups in other states facing similar hurdles. I like it! In my mind, any pro-2A case that's won builds momentum in our favor, but also, I'm guessing this gives ANJRPC's attorneys a direct pipeline to glean "lessons learned" from the CA case as they hone their own in-state strategy here. I don't know about you... but based on what I'm seeing, I feel guardedly optimistic that the NRA and its NJ affiliate are NOT asleep at the wheel - they "get" that Murphy's a zealot, and they know lawsuits are going to be a MAJOR part of strategy going forward. I think this all looks good... the more wolves nipping at Murphy's ankles, the better! Here's the link (updates are on the first page): www.anjrpc.org

Leather Honey also sounds like the stage name of someone who co-starred with Stormy Daniels.

Sienna is nice. Going total Minivan eh?

Welcome to the part there spanky ! This fight has been coming for a long time an here it is at our doorstep - this is *OUR* darkest hour - but I pray that it becomes our finest - for freedom. Apathy among gun folks in this state for the past election and prior has brough us to this point - welcome to the fight that I am sure you and other gun owners had no idea about - You are not the first to be shocked but what they are seeing and sadly it is too late - firearms are not a HOBBY - they are first and foremost about freedom. In the past month I have educated at least three gun owners that had no idea about the state of affairs and they are shocked - maybe this will finally wake the gun owning masses up. Pass it on and educate others..........

Seeing NRA & law suits together in the same sentence is a good start for sure. I'll take it for now.

Not only was Rosey on GFHR, but so was Shaneen Allen! It was great to hear from her. From what i was able to hear, she did get her phlebotomist ticket back and can work. Excellent!

I'll say it again: lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits... with appeals all the way to SCOTUS. At this point, everything else (marching, appealing to reason, etc.) is rendered pretty much meaningless. And when 1 or more 2A organizations file strategic, well thought out cases - with the i's dotted and t's crossed (as best as we non-lawyers can assess anyway) - it will be incumbent on the rest of us to recognize that lawsuits are long, labor-intensive things that COST a bloody fortune. So, as long as they step out smartly on the legal front (and I believe they will - this is a much different situation now as I'm sure these organizations realize), it will be incumbent on us to uncomplainingly, unflinchingly start making regular donations. Because this won't be a cheap process... but it will be a necessary one.

Not sure if I have a specific passion within this hobby. I like them all! Lol

Fair enough! May order one from my local FFL soon. Want to support the old timer.

They just need to hire another PR person. Maybe one who is self employed and works from home. Could probably match or exceed her current salary even.

The old adage still rings true today. “ you cannot help those that won’t help themselves “ . Looks like we are getting some artillery muscle! But WE are still the front line!

EVERYONE @Chris1, there is on for sale in the marketplace.

The first step in the State's process of turning S548 into bad law is to have it approved by the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee. The next meeting of that committee is scheduled for this Thursday Jan 28 at 10:30 AM There are currently 104 bills awaiting hearing in this committee, of which S548 is just one. Only 6 bills are listed on Thursday's agenda as of right now, but that does not mean that won't change by meeting time. The members of the committee are: Greenstein, Linda R. - Chair Diegnan, Patrick J. - Vice-Chair Bateman, Christopher Cryan, Joseph P. O'Scanlon, Declan J. Sacco, Nicholas J.

Nope. You can get LEO creds if you are involved in purchasing decisions for your PD.

which means she knows nothing's gonna happen

jordan........bad juju to be putting out on an open forum how many of anything you have.

Best you make peace in your mind that: a) They are not going to pay you for your stuff - one day you will go to bed and the next morning you will wake up a felon b) You need to decide what your pain tolerance is, move things out of state - sell now at a major loss - defy the law etc. You need to get it right in your head cause it is coming. c) Lastly - picture it - then picture it again and once more for good measure. Elections have consequences - maybe you need to educate more of your shooting friends that this *IS* very well going to happen and the only thing stopping it *MAYBE* is a lawsuit....*maybe* Look to NY/CA/MA etc. for the model that you will be part of only - NJ will be worse

NRA just called me to inform me what was happening in NJ and looking fro some money - told the nice young lady that when I see the first NRA driven lawsuit in NJ to stop the abuse - to call me back for a donation. She chuckled and said she would pass it on.

As long as Elmer's double barrel shotgun is not threatened, the Fudd's won't care. I am well acquainted with a few deer hunters and only one is an actual 2A advocate. Hunter does not = 2A advocate. Beyond bagging and tagging a couple deer every season, they don't give a rat's ass about guns. Very narrow self interest interest that does not affect them and they are okay with it because a rifle ban would not impact them in the least.

Just walked in from getting paper work for some pistol permits and was telling them about what might be coming the 3 cops I was talikn to didn't know about it either . They said don't care what you have its all BS . nice to know they get it.

zero% is awesome. like paying cash but better because you get to spread it out over some yrs if you want and can put that $ to other uses in the mean time.

You can be cool with a minivan. A friend who's single bought a minivan for a daily driver. He did a lot of camping, kayaking, scuba diving, rock climbing, skiing, etc and needed something he could haul his gear in. He does have a 911 for when he really wanted to look cool.

I understand where you guys are coming from. My “excuse” is I’m fairly young compared to most here and fairly new to the community. So it’s now that I’m learning more in-depth about the issue. Especially after such a drastic change in our states governing.

Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicles - MIRV's Just sayin...........

I mean he did say he wants to bench mark his decisions off of California and make NJ the CA of the East coast... insane. Hope we’re wrong. Yeah including his push for a sanctuary state and raising income and property taxes (on an already heavily taxed state as im sure you’re well aware:) ) in return driving away any business in this state. I really don’t believe it. Also with the 2A, the only ones that will have firearms will be criminals leaving lawbiding citizens defenseless. Look at the article from the other day on NJ.com where two cops were robbed for a luxury SVU that was recovered stolen and being held at a POLICE TOWING YARD lol. Insane.

Thats correct all semi auto rifles will be banned, and dont kid yourself this will be passed into law and they wont stop there expect ammo bans and much more NJ will put NY and CA to shame

I only buy. I view leasing as a long term rental. Mileage restrictions suck as well.

Shhhhh. Don’t discuss this kind of subject matter in public... 🤫 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would hope Evan Nappen would have comped his time after all the publicity Ant has given him in the past!

Yeah quit living in the past.

Clean the terminals with baking soda solution. Prob acid oxidation build up. Common in winter. Don't get it on you. Or get a can of acid neutralizer.

Saddle soap and mink oil

The 1/8mile in yellow was typically used for JrDragsters. I guess when the ricers were there they used it as a spill over. I have a love and hate relationship with ETown. My car always ran better at Atco. Better traction 100% of the time. ETown kicked me out several times and one of the guys working there was a total dick. He left a few years back to race drag bikes professionally. Fuck I hated that guy. A lot of the other workers have become my friends since I started racing in 2001. It's sad to see them loose their jobs. I met some of my best friends through drag racing. A bunch of us are getting together tomorrow after years of not seeing each other because we all started talking about ETown closing this week. So maybe there is a silver lining My car was shot for GM High Tech magazine at ETown. I had to install mufflers just so I can run there for the photo shoot lol. Atco never busted my balls about noise. Old Bridge slapped ETown with a huge environmental tax. That, coupled with the offer from the car storage company was too much for the Napps to continue running cars down the strip. Sad. At at the end of the day Atco is better. So as convenient as ETown was, being 10 minutes away, fuck em. I'll go to Atco anyway.

Charter Arms revolvers don't spin, they just lock up after the first shot. Ask me how I know. Or ask @djg0770

This law has multiple grounds to which to file lawsuits. One is lack of compensation. California Firearms Owners successfully got a Federal Injunction against the new 10 round magazine capacity law. Previously magazines over 10 rounds were grandfathered. New law takes away grandfathering. Common Use Grounds is another regarding AR-15 Rifles and the defacto ban. The law makes all Military Surplus Semi Autos with detachable magazines illegal except for the German G/K43. This should allow challenges on common use grounds. M1 Carbine is one of the most common rifles owned and it helped save the Free World and Defeat Imperial Japan. They were sold direct by the CMP, a government entity, yet they are illegal in NJ. Rifles such as the Swedish AG42B are used in competition shooting. That would certainly fall under common use. Other Collectible Semi Auto Milsurps with Detachable Magazines would have to be sold, destroyed, turned in, or have irreversible harm done to them by the removal of the bayonet mount which would greatly negatively affect value. How would the state compensate owners when condition is a huge factor? Lawsuits must be filed. If the laws are too costly to the state they will be forced to back down.

They can have all my soon to be illegal guns under my conditions. - I bought them legally. You do not have the right to take anything I bought legally from me. - My terms are: You can buy my guns from me at MSRP at the time of purchase plus 10% for my troubles. That is the only way. This is for anything I own. Even if its a pink tuu tuu with purple pokie dots! I will then take all those moneys, move faster than I originally wanted and buy them all over again. Unbutchered by NJs terms! Otherwise! Big EFF them! [emoji1589][emoji35][emoji1589] I did it once for the original ban! Never again!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol..so far my interests are the ruger pc9, Sig p365 and what the deal is with this Franklin armory rifle. Gotta buy up before the laws change

I'm saying that if the people want a different outcome then make it happen. Civil disobedience doesn't have to be violent

I hate to sound cynical, but we can march all we want, and we can try to reason with them. But they are just going to ignore us and pass a ton of anti-2A laws, and smugly pat themselves on the back for being "tough on guns."

Organizations like the NRA are stupid and short-sighted if they think these crazy laws are just going to stay in places like New Jersey and California. As residents leave these states and move elsewhere as well as other demographic shifts Nationwide what they consider to be quote free states quote can just as easily end up having the same kind of b******* laws in only a few years. They really need to to start realizing this and take action

Tagged. Waiting for the anti-NRA assholes to post here.

If your up to it go for it, fun project.. Finished the furniture..
