HOW THE FIGHT STARTED... One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!" And that's how the fight started..... ______________________________ __ My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have sex?' 'No,' she answered. I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..' So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started... ______________________________ __ I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the rump steak, rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?" "Nah, she can order for herself." And that's when the fight started..... ______________________________ _ My wife at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunk swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes", she sighed, he's my old boyfriend He began drinking right after we split up years ago, and hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" And then the fight started... ______________________________ __ When our lawn mower broke my wife kept nagging me to get it fixed. But, I always had something else to take care of. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. I found her seated in the tall, unmowed grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp. ______________________________ My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels . She asked, "What's on TV?" I said, "Lots of dust." And then the fight started... ______________________________ __ My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 165 in about 2 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started...... ______________________________ After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for benefits. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left it at home. I told the woman I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver chest hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.' And then the fight started... ______________________________ __ My wife was standing naked, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect." That's when the fight began . . ______________________________ __ I rear-ended a car this morning. . . the start of a really bad day! The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!! He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!' So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?' That's how the fight started

Good god, Rob! Don't tell Zeke he's right. Some of us still up here have to deal with his ego. NEVER feed the ego. What were you thinking, really?

as much as I hate NRA for not doing anything in NJ.. I still pay up...and anyone who is not NRA member should surrender their guns.

Just made by final ez pay payment for my life membership... I got it last time they had the $600 deal... -Jim

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut on occasion.

Thankfully Florida just voted down an AWB minutes ago. They also voted down the bump stock ban and mag limits. They only thing they approved was a 10% tax on CWP licenses, I’ll live with that now. A lot of people fought for their rights. I’ve spent the entire day making calls and writing mails. I will also be supporting very pro-2a republicans only in the elections this fall. Fortunately Florida still has a repub super majority, they aren’t the best 2a Republicans but they demonstrated today that they know where their bread is buttered. It was scary that I almost moved to a tropical version of NYS

Well in light of all this crap going on I promoted myself to Patron this morning. Now I'll salute myself in the mirror when I shave.

https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/Million-gun-march-3-16-18-photo-edit-needed-check-op-/5-2084435/ looks like a counter protest is starting to form. Seems that they are starting to line up a good list of speakers. Will be interesting to see if they will be granted permits for this.

I hate NRA spam and junk mail but after seeing the brainwashing on display in the media lately, I went ahead and converted to Life Member.

They are pretty much all gone...Rays, Meltzers, Efingers. One by one...sad. Being in NJ certainly does not help.

GRIZ & Displaced Texan: Maybe you two should go to this year's Army-Navy football game as friendly rivals.....? GRIZ: I suggest that you ask Displaced Texan to be responsible for the tailgating food..... AVB-AMG

A2761 "The bill exempts law enforcement officers from the bill’s 10 round limit on ammunition magazines by authorizing them to possess and carry while on duty a large capacity ammunition magazine and possess and carry while off duty a large capacity ammunition magazine which is capable of holding up to 15 rounds of ammunition. The bill also permits retired police officers authorized to possess and carry a handgun in this State to continue to possess and carry a magazine capable of holding up to 15 rounds." Next "Only the police should have Guns...."

How do I pin these for 15 rounds?

Aren't you the same one who was asking about going to another state and buying long gun there without NJ FPID ? Let me repeat the response again. Law abiding citizens follow State and Federal Laws. Criminals don't. There is no loophole. Criminals don't drive all the way to some gun show to take advantage of a non-existing "loophole". They can buy stuff they want at the corner in Newark or Camden, no problem. And you can thank Democrats for that situation.

Zeke youre right. Most of the antis that testified at the hesring were professionals protedtors and not Florida residents. The battle is on nationally and no state should be left behind.

It follows you.. been saying that since post 1. 2a is national and citizen right, states should have no say. Or abolish the f part of ATF

I saw that televised meetings with governors. He also mentioned NOTHING about raising the age to buy rifles to 21 (which he was mentioning earlier), he emphasized hardening the targets (including by giving teachers an opportunity to carry in school as an added defense), AND (a big one) he addressed the fact that many states have closed psychiatric hospitals and so we have a terrible dearth of psych beds. Oh, and he SLAMMED the bungled response by law enforcement (missed signs, dropped tips, etc.) Overall, he shifted a bit BACK in the 2A direction. I'd say... stay calm... see where it all shakes out. But, in the meantime, this is a president who's a bit wishy-washy on things, so call or write the White House and advise everyone you know to do similarly.

Great minds LOL

Then ban the RSO not the gun. Kind of contradicts our main cause. Doesn’t it?

Same here, wow.

Was a well kept secret.

RSO shot out lights with a Shockwave/TAC-14, and now they are banned... doesn’t that sound pretty similar to this AR15 crap since Florida? Don’t know what turns me off more... a rule written in such a way that they make the firearm in question seem SO terrible (I own one, and while their role is limited, it isn’t like you have a 5’ spread at 25 yards), or that someone in charge of safety there did it. We all make mistakes, but really? Is the RSO still working? They are definitely allowed to make their own rules, but that one just wouldn’t sit right with me. If they said due to inconsistency of grip, or difficulty with sighting... I would even post (valid criticism that can be argued). Spread is not much different than any other shotgun...

There is nothing unethical about following the law as written. The law is the law, and you are either following it, or breaking it. The term loophole is just used by the anti gun crowd to portray us as sneaky law breakers who need to be stopped. But what are we doing wrong? Reading and understanding the laws that govern our interest in firearms, then (gasp!!!) staying within those laws. We should all be jailed immediately for being responsible citizens!

I also think they’re preaching to the choir. Even elected officials do the same thing. Why are we not educating the anti base. Probably because it will be a hard frustrating task. But the fact is, laying it all out to us is useless. We need to open some anti eyes. Facts are wishy washy too. For everything I bring up, an anti can bring up their facts debunking mine. This just comes down to philosophy really, unless someone really wants to be open minded. These days that’s in short supply.

If it was under 500 I might consider it

There's a typo in A2757. They copied and pasted (2) and (3) even though 2 is for handguns and 3 is for rifles/shotguns etc. 3 says you have to perform a NICS check for the person looking to acquire a handgun under the rifle section.

Because a rso shot the lights with it

Very cool

Everyone here needs to click and read each of the proposed bills. We are doing a disservice to ourselves by not knowing exactly what each entails, and can therefore be very easily rebutted in any debate on the subject. For example A2759 - adds or (3) any person, other than a law enforcement officer, who knowingly has in his possession handgun ammunition which has a full metal jacket and an ogive with a steel penetrator tip followed by an aluminum core and is therefore capable of breaching or penetrating body armor is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.

No doubt there are other breeds better for that sort of stuff. Point I was making is that the pit bull family of dogs can make great family dogs especially around small children. They get a bad wrap from the media. I'm not saying any specific breed is bad around chirldren just that's what pit bulls specifically Staffordshire terriers were created to do.

You are correct. And it pains me that you are correct. I forget where I live sometimes.

Don't give them any more ideas :-/

Years ago life was 300. Lifer now for about 15 years! If you value your firearm rights? JOIN NOW!!!!!!!!

This show sucks now. Worst episode ever....

They just need to make websites and post the videos there. The tens of thousands of viewers they already have will bring traffic and through ads can generate profit to cover expenses and then some.

Does skin thickness determine post-length? If so I’m kinda wishing he were more of a pansy.

WTF dude? Unnecessary. If this is how we treat folks after having their eyes opened a bit? It is no wonder we are always fighting, and often losing our rights. Everyone in this world is a victim of their own frame of reference and no one holds all the keys to the kingdom. We each view the world, the people in it, and the things that happen with a bias towards what we have experienced, what we have come to believe is the truth of this world. Not everyone has been a victim of a violent crime. Not everyone has seen evil. You can not expect everyone to come to the same conclusions as “you” on their own. Some folks need a little help. This is the part we are supposed to be better at. Using facts and logic to defeat emotion and rhetoric. A lot of you in this thread are lacking that ability - some of you all sound like Democrats with your idle threats, and attempts at silencing. Screaming over an attempt at dialogue - shit some of you sound like you’ve been triggered and need a safe space. Russian shill? Come on. A bunch of folks here have met him - hell, he came to a shotgun shoot. I expect better from my brother and sister gun owners. I am very disappointed. Be gracious. Take the win. You actually changed someone’s mind. And if you look, it wasn’t the ones who gnashed their teeth add wrent their clothes over AVB’s statements. It was those of us who held true to the core values of our side of the argument - the ones who used calm and directed knowledge, undisputed facts, and truth, that changed AVB’s mind. AVB, I am directly opposed to the statements made by the congresscritter from Florida. Many others in this thread have covered the big points but basically it boils down to this - You can not legislate evil, and people are evil. Guns are tools. We are facing a software issue, not a hardware one. I believe that the big issue we are facing is the fact that those with mental instability of any kind are placed in a “protected class”. By doing such we are doing everyone a disservice. I think we need a complete overhaul of the mental health system before we will see a drastic change in the kind of behavior that can creates someone that thinks shooting up a school is a good thing. In the meantime, we need more SROs - I have many thoughts on what it means to be an SRO but that is a different topic.

I have the jaws for copper up to 4", Black Iron jaws up to 2", Viega Pex jaws to 1", and Parker zoom lock jaws for doing refrigeration. Can't remember the last time I touched my B-tank. Or my Ridgid 300 threader. All dust collectors now. Every boiler install I press everything, gas pipes, and steam I press too. I've evolved with the trade I guess. None of this stuff existed when I was an apprentice 20 years ago. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

@AVB-AMG I’m curious. When LEO shoots someone the left blames the cop. When some psycho kills someone, the left blames the gun..

Looks like the stars aligned, having never really done this before I was shocked to see my permits approved in under 24 hours. I've used butyl tape and sealant before. Probably the most miserable tape to be invented but dang is it good. I'm planning on renting a dingo, kinda excited for that.

DINGDINGDINGDING! WE HAVE A WINNAH!

In NJ unlikely. Other states it has happened but I'd rather a few get through than more restrictions on the many. Goes back to the whole if you put security before liberty you deserve neither thing. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

FYI, the references need not reside in NJ.

Just think about how much your property taxes will go up if self driving cars become a reality. They don't speed, run red lights etc. All towns subsidize their income off municipal court fines and most of that is driving infractions.

I liked them at their old location. At least u could get a pretzel before you got blown off by the counter guy.
