I found this pretty funny. More so if you frequent 1911 forums, which I do.

I don’t see a way to win in NJ that doesn’t involve civilzation ending violence. PA. If enough sane conservatives move to PA, perhaps it will help fortify that state. Remember that Trump won PA. He will likely win there bigger this time around. That’s where I am headed as soon as possible. And while the country is in fact under siege by Marxists and foreign invaders, I keep wondering what it will take precisely to cause Americans to see that nothing is more important than retaining their liberty. 10 to 15 million pissed off citizens willing to forcibly take back control of the country and restore our rights and national sovereignty would be a serious problem for the Marxists.

National concealed carry and reppealing the NFA would have the market spike like never before.

 Now, if Colt were to start producing GOOD snake guns again, then.....

So I have a very good relationship with Ruger and they are flying me out to test their newest products. The price is actually not their idea... its called demand falling through the floor, and Smith and Wesson and others are trying to amortize the fixed expenses with higher volumes. They are all sitting on excess capacity right now and deciding between idling or making inventory to sell at far lower depressed volumes. The Ruger American Rifle, the Ruger Precision are all great and all.... but relatively speaking, are exceptionally light volume guns. Your bread and butter guns are the modern compact/full size polymer pistols, your basic AR15, and shotguns.... and in all of those markets, a ton of competition. Do you honestly think precision shooters make a difference for a company that sells 1.5 million guns a year? They do if you are say a company like Zev and targeting 20k guns a year... but drop in a bucket for a Sig, Glock, Ruger, Smith Wesson, and others. Prior to Sandy Hook, your basic DPMS AR-15 was around $750 or so. Today, you can get an equivalent gun for what... $400? After Sandy, everyone came in trying to capitalize on selling Basic $600 ARs for $1500 to suckers concerned gun owners and new gun owners on the fence. Then they bet BIG on Hillary... that did not happen and why now you have companies going through bankruptcies... Colt, Remington, AcuSport (Distributor), Gander Mountain and now you have Ellet Brothers/United Sporting Companies (Distributors) pretty much there too. The Ruger rifle is priced where it is not because they want to... but because they have to... because generally, people would reach for a Remington 700 or a Savage for around the same price. And business decision wise... Rifles are at 12 year low levels... Yes, very conservative company and are in the best shape simply because Trump was elected. (And no, they did not think he would be, at least the executive team). Had Hillary been President... Vista and Smith and Wesson would be partying from the cash coming in.

There are maybe 46 or so better States that have less restrictions than NJ. Take your pick.

I like the Anderson ARs. If you spend a little extra you can get one of the "no lube" ones. You can also get just a straight 16" barrel and avoid the muzzle brake altogether.

i have a Idea, " Lets tax illegals instead of giving them free stuff " maybe they will go home if they get treated like taxpayers.

FYI Nics at 45.00 Permit at 50.00 Fid 100.00 You can say good bye to most gun stores in NJ. That would be a cost of 200.00 just to get your first firearm. at that point it would pretty much ruin the gun market in NJ.

Saw this on Facebook. Thought some here may be interested.

Same here. So seems like you get a machine gun courtesy of S&W if your bolt is defective. =P

I have one of these so I already ordered the free bolt gauge tool to check mine here: https://store.smith-wesson.com/m-p-15-22-bolt-inspection-gauge

Keep an eye on the usual used gun sites. This strikes me as the kind of gun, like any handgun much bigger than a .44 mag, that regularly shows up for sale, with the notation "fewer than 20 rounds fired".

I enjoyed the bullets bouncing off the can.

Thats bad business practice ... Most people would know It would have been a short lived party.. I would have given them 6 months before new laws would have crippled them. Problem is this. People over ordered and over produced when the gettin was good assuming it was going to last. People over extended on credit using those 90 day terms and just playing the one pocket to the next game... It was no doubt doing to come crashing down. I was one of those who did not over order AR's as others did.... Iv always been extremely conservative and am a firm believer in pay today for something you want to order. No need to use credit unless its for convenience of shipping it today and not having to run and fill out a ach form item. Sure floating money works for some until the market slows down.. next thing you know you are scrambling because you have a huge payment due in 20 days..... What you do at that point is Dump your merchandise in the hopes it will extend your lifeline a few more weeks hoping the market will pick up. Sadly its a common story and has closed companies regularly

An all PB marked Beretta, Will get pics over weekend.

THIS!!! EDIT: wait i got distracted. theres pictures 12 minutes ago.... ow long did it take me to make this damn post? what the hell. alright ill go back to my corner....

7.5 million toward republicans campaign. Throw out the trash that’s in there now.

And Florida has better weather

No........They will bitch and get an exemption! Other than retired LEOs there's no money to made here!

That's true. I saw that same thing with Ruger coming out with lower end handguns to try a capture more of the market. Problem is, you never make up the lost margin with volume. Tesla is going to find that out really soon.

Wow.... Murphy is making Sweeney look good in a relative sense. In any case, imo the correct response to this is to leave the state if you can and take all of your money with you.

Profits are down because the market has been cutthroat and they are selling products under value. For example, the Ruger American Rifle line changed the industry. Insane accuracy at not just affordable, but a cheap price. Everyone else followed suit. Why buy an $800 rifle (with a high profit margin) when you can get the same accuracy for under $400? Therein lies the problem, cheap rifles are not junk anymore, they are fantastic, but have a low profit margin. The only way to maintain profits is with volume.

3?!?! Apply for 12 to 20. Then line up guns and buy them with OGAM collector's exemption.

Which is exactly why I just put in for 3 more permits. There's nothing I'm really wanting now, but the way Murphy is pushing with gun restrictions 2.0 (and maybe 3.0, 4.0, etc.), then add in all the crazy gun crap the Dems in the House are proposing, I figured it's time to obtain anything I might remotely might be interested in NOW, before the next manufactured crisis pops up. So, it's time to break out the crystal ball and wish list and make Christmas come early this year.

Barrel wear and maker of barrel will affect also.

...assuming certain things.... ummmm maybe ur skills need honing ? Seems there are MANY FACTORS some of which is ammo that effect accuracy... not saying it doesn't matter ...

Armed revolution...comes to mind

Higher than normal sales is not normal. It can't be black friday every day. Don't worry, sales will spike again in 2020.

1.5" brakes arent actually 1.5" Almost all of them are marketed as such to indicate they take a standard 14.5" and make it 16" compliant... some actually make it longer than 16"

I dunno, this is NJ and there are fees to be collected. Our town sends people out looking for dogs at addresses where no dog license has been issued, then sends out summons. Ask me how I know...

That’s true. Dog control is ramped. What they need is more dog safety laws. They should start with a 25% tax on Vet visits. And don’t get me started on cats.

Ok. 14.5" barrel = 14.5 1.5" comp/brake = 1" meaning you're only at 15.5" and legally in possession of an SBR. (Thats a Federal Law) you forgot overlap of thread which amounts to about .5" inch. Most comps that bring the 14.5" barrel to 16" or greater are 2.1" minimum in length.

then he'll ask you for 100 bucks. every single law concerning firearms is illegal in nj. we need 1 or 2 to get to a normal scotus, and i think all of the laws here would fall.

Inoro I propose a fee for registering to vote. Cost of this fee will be used to cover the cost of state elections and fund “election security studies”. Registering will be required yearly and be reflected on a state-issued ID.

Print you labels online, call for a pickup, then keep your mouth shut hand the driver your package. Do you really think that Davidsons, Classic Firearms, Palmetto State Armory, et al are telling the drivers they're shipping a handgun in box 1, ammo in box 2, and accessories in box 3?

the problem isnt necessarily the hi-points themselves.... its that their owners have a statistically higher average of being the gentleman who owned this firearm. id be willing to shoot a carbine and see if it tickles my pickle, but personally zero interest in them.

and that right there is their end game as ive said......they've already taken this shit to the point that i will have a residence established in a free state before i buy another firearm. i will take my business to states that want it.

Learn these fools Glenn!

It's direct blowback so the gas pressure went out the chamber end as the bolt never locks

You dont know freedom then.

Unfortunately, that means they have won. I don't know if I can do that. I am not saying what you would do is right or wrong, just that I wouldn't do it.

$300. for a FID, But illegals can go to collage for free.

Broke? This state is morally, ethically and constitutionally bankrupt!

Statistics say what the statistician wants them to say. Ie There are ~31k motor vehicle deaths a year. There are ~10k motor vehicle deaths due to alcohol impairment. Since only 33% of deaths are related to alcohol, and 67% aren't. Sober drivers are the leading cause of MVDs.

That's it Emma. And that's why I don't personally rely on statistical arguments to support the 2A. Numbers are interesting and useful sometimes to refute popular delusions. But the principles of freedom, personal safety and self defense are not subject to statistical analysis.

while i think my plan b, plan c, plan d, etc are fairly solid........ain't no effing way i'm posting that shit

I don't understand the 7 vs 8 round issue. For HD you are going to be victorious or dead after one or two rounds. The 1911 was designed for 7 round mags. Why look for trouble over 1 round that makes no difference?
