THIS^ about $300/ounce in NJ according to Google doctors prescribe SSRIs to people under 18, side effects of wich include everythything from depression to suicidal thoughts, exasperate everything they're trying to prevent in some cases. Brains have thc receptors, but not ssri receptors and we once thought asbestos was great, so we are wrong a lot as humans, and truth be told we dont know enough about how our brains work to be playing with these things. we waste a boatload of money on policing and enforcing the war on drugs. that whole "you need to deal with lifes issues" thing is how we went wrong in the first place. if someone can find a moment of joy in this hell of a life weve created for our selves then let them have it. might just be the libertarian in me, but leave me alone, ill leave you alone.we can have our freedoms they can have theirs

Not sure who this Chinese broad is, but that quote is ridiculous.

Some of us just do a lot of fapping for a moment of joy. That's like exercise.

You guys know that electric cars would cripple our electric grid if it were the norm, not to mention the power needed to handle electric cars would require lots of coal plants to generate that power (since we cant have any new nuclear plants licensed at this point) which would negate the reason to have electric cars.

I've been looking over my shoulder ever since i heard it was Kristallnacht all over again.

Hey @Zeke @Vicious take all this with a grain of salt. I'm just a cranky old f*&k with too many opinions... First off, 300WM...?!?! I'd have to ask why the hell you'd want that? That's a lot of expensive recoil to hit paper. Given that the 6.5Creed can go a mile and not beat you up (physically or financially) I'd really recommend reconsidering that option. Great option for soft targets really far away. For paper there are, IMHO, considerably better options. Almost any out of the box rifle will get you there. Pick one. I love Tikka however aftermarket support is hit and miss. It's there it's just harder to find. Savage is awesome, however my big issue is that there are no true 2-stage triggers on the market for Savage. I'm a 2-stage kinda guy. The Ruger RPR is an awesome rifle. There is a guy shooting extremely well with one in F-Class, all he did was re-barrel it. The Bergara is also getting solid reviews everywhere I see it pop up. I believe (don't hold me to this) that the action works in a 700 footprint stock. Do your due-diligence on that one. You can buy an out of the box 700SPS in your caliber choice, slap it in a KRG Bravo and upgrade the trigger(I like Timney for all but the most demanding BR guy) for under 1500 most likely. Shoot the snot out of it and then, when you're really ready and actually know what you want out of a rifle, get the action worked and have it re-barreled. My current rig is a 700 with action work and a Timney Calvin Elite in a McMillan stock. It's pretty accurate. And consistent. It's also well above your 1500 mark. But, I broke it up over time. And 700 parts are everywhere. New and used, you can literally do everything to a 700 with the click of a mouse. Good glass will only add to everything I said. If you really want to enjoy your time at the range, get solid glass. The new-ish Leupold VX series are getting rave reviews. I have a VX5 and cannot recommend it highly enough. It's 3-15 and will get you on steel at 1000 without issue. I really like that scope. For my chosen game, it doesn't have enough juice, but if it did, I would run in on my match gun. The PST line from Vortex would be as low as I would be willing to recommend. I know that guys are running Athlon scopes with success, but I've not been behind one. I currently have a NightForce on my match rifle. I sold 3 Vortex scopes to buy it. I feel it's that nice. My biggest thing is that I can be behind my NF for a complete 20 round string and not feel the need to come off the gun. My eyes don't get worn out. But, again, it's not inexpensive. Reloading is it's own animal but if you really want consistency, it's what has to be done. Good luck. Feel free to reach out if I can help.

Because Liberals and the History of Now.

There's got to be an ultra-Reform Rabbi somewhere who'll let it slide! Especially if Levi Lobster and Pinchas Pig both have bris certificates.

TidePods...

Says the man in PA... And I’ll save the next guy to follow up with me going to ME.

Its not... nor is bacon.... Together is pure heaven.

I did not and will not :).. It was that idiotic.

So there I was at the range working on a video of the 15-22 consumer notice and an enabler friend gives me this too shoot....

I recall not long ago brownouts all over NJ during the high heat... All because people were using AC... imagine people plugging in cars to charge on top of that... Our grid CANNOT support mass usage of electric vehicles.. That being said... it might be at some point but at this moment not a chance.

Moving to Florida? Quitter.

The suit is DOa, Adam Lanza didnt purchase the firearm... His mother did... So it doesn't even stand to reason their marketing strategy led to this outcome. Not to mention Remington has never advertised their AR's as something kids should own, ever. Remington should have a counter suit planned.

Here's the CT Supreme Court decision: https://www.jud.ct.gov/external/supapp/Cases/AROcr/CR331/331CR865.pdf

#36 A COLUMN FROM KILROY WAS HERE (THE ICONIC WW2 G.I.) ON INCREMENTALISM VS. GUN RIGHTS! REPORT FROM THE FIRING LINE ON ALL THAT MATTERS! COMPROMISE IS DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS! by Nick "Kilroy" Chiarchiaro, special to Black Wire Media Thursday March 14, 2019 www.cnjfo.com/join-us “Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).” - Ayn Rand You cannot legislate my rights away - the whole gun control argument and movement is moot - it is antithetical to our God given right of self defense of person, and as codified in our founding documents. There are those that wish to impose their will based on what they think the majority is. Push their political agenda on others, and by all accounts the faux majority shall not rule at the expense of minority rights. There are an estimated 118million households in the US, of which about 43% are firearms owners - who is the majority? Taking the above statements into account, even if firearms owners were to be considered the majority, they have capitulated and ceded their rights time and again in the interest of negotiations in good faith and compromise, to satiate the frothing at the mouth lunatic fringe that care nothing of freedom and liberty. The zealots on the left care not which is just and right, but only how can they control and attempt to subjugate a free people, by attempting to suppress the rights of the people to keep and bear arms in defense of self, and nation - in the guise of majority rule and the 'votes'. EDITOR's NOTE: We are truly blessed to have freelance volunteer writers here at Black Wire Media. Nick, aka "Kilroy" (of WW2 fame) is one of them. A gun collector & historian, Kilroy is instructing a new shooter on his .303 British cal. Long Branch No4 Mk1 bolt action at a Diversity Shoot held last year at Gun For Hire. If you'd like to volunteer time, talent, or treasure in our coordinated FIGHT TO RESTORE GUN RIGHTS, we'd like to hear from you! ---The Editors

No one can explain that because it makes no sense. One word might help -- politics. Even if there was no 2A in the Constitution, the "right to privacy" the Court found to exist in Roe v Wade would itself include the right to keep and bear arms. In Griswold v Connecticut, (overturning a Connecticut ban on contraception) the Court first found a "right to privacy" to exist based on the "penumbra" of rights created by all the other rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights. Essentially, read together, the Bill of Rights implies and demands a right to be left alone by the government, subject to various limitations. in Poe v Ullman, an earlier Supreme Court case in which the Court allowed a Connecticut ban on contraception to stand, Justice Harlan wrote a dissent in which the right to privacy was first addressed. Guess what he included in his laundry list of things the government should butt out off (to put it simplistically)? The right to keep and bear arms. If there is a right to abortion or contraception or gay marriage -- all falling under the "right to privacy" read into the Consitution by the Court -- then there has to also be a right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of defending one's life. In other words, as long as I'm not harming or threatening to harm anyone, its none of the government's business how I choose to defend myself or what tools I keep to do so. But of course, we do have an explicit 2A in addition and it is quite amazing that the same people who happily go along with a seek to protect a made-up "right to privacy" claim the explicit and quite plain language of the 2A is meaningless. Like I said, there is no logical explanation other than that law is often means oriented, driven by political agendas.

So another 30 days this gets set back. In 60 days or so, I'll be 67. I'm running out of time for this. The right to gay marriage, which is not mentioned in the Constitution, was approved by SCOTUS under "equal protection," because some states allowed it and some didn't. Can someone explain to me how 2A rights, which are specifically enumerated in the Bill of Rights, should be viewed any differently?

I personally know of 2 instances, myself and a friend, using the new system. In both cases the reference emails went out within minutes of the application submission online.

If your life is hell it's because of choices you made. Based on your statement everyone should be shooting heroin, become an alcoholic, or using something to find "a moment of joy".

I worked for a County Prosecutor's Office as an agent for five years after 26 years as a municipal police officer, Sergeant, and Lieutenant. As a result, I have reviewed many hundreds of cases. That is what I base my beliefs upon though I have been out of the loop for the past five years so that explains my ignorance of the change. Prior to Witt it was a free for all with those telephonic warrants. Glad to see that has stopped. Thank you for the education counselor.

When it has been circumcised and given a nice name like Levi Lobster! Whattsamatta you??

As well they should be!

That first sentence is a whole other discussion... but why? Because most states and Federal law say it is. There is a handful of firearms legislation I disagree with... going back 85 years... but guess what? I still have to follow it. Sorry, but potheads have to do the same... and get jammed up when caught (not as big of a deal in most jurisdictions... unless you have a substantial amount). But big difference between the two fights... one has a Constitutional Amendment regarding it. Marijuana is legal in Maine... when I went up, there wasn’t chaos/anarchy. In Houlton, didn’t see anyone smoking it... neither in Bangor (but to be fair, I didn’t look that hard in Bangor). Canada legalized it the day after I accepted my position with CBP. They just talk funny up there... but they always did. But I know I’m going to have headaches due to it, as it is illegal to cross an international border with it. For the rest of the post about prescription drugs... they are being prescribed. You actually are arguing two very different things; legalization of marijuana and doctor abuse of prescription based narcotics (well, I’d call it that when they prescribe something so addictive right from Jump Street). For your first complaint... you’d have to have Congress agree to remove marijuana from the Schedule I narcotic list. Have good luck with that... because they can’t even agree on something that was widely supported under Obama. The second... you’d have to have procedures be changed with the FDA. Again... best of luck with that. Handyman did give a link to specific complaints that can be made on the state level. And as also mentioned, legalization is just going to increase prices... at least in regards to legal marijuana. “Wait? It’s all legal!” Well, if the government legalizes it... they are definitely going to tax it. Moonshine might ring a bell (legal, until you move to sell it). So, you’ll still have illegal dealers... and probably jurisdiction would be transferred over to ATF. And depending on tax rates, you’ll have an increase in illegal dealers to make more money.

I’m sure that most of you have shooting buddies. People in the firearms community with common interests with whom you can freely talk about guns, gear and whatever trips your trigger. Leo was that person for me. I’ve known Leo for 47 years. We met, as one would expect, at a turkey shoot in Harvey’s Lake, PA. He was as enamored with S&W then as I am now. He was my teacher, whom I eventually eclipsed and became his teacher. That was only because Leo was somewhat of a luddite and never explored, or even knew how to explore, the Internet. It was a knowledge base that he denied to himself. That only slowed him down slightly as I helped bird dog for him and arrange for some primo S&W purchases. Always fun spending OPM. When I met Leo, he was a SS Disability Claims Examiner. Was married and owned his own home. Over time he confided in me that the two things that he wanted most in his life were to join the military (he had an appointment to West Point, but couldn’t pass the physical because he was color blind), and to become a nurse. This came about because of a teenage job as an orderly at the local veteran’s hospital. Also, when I met him, he was about as tall as he was wide. He was one of the most single minded of purpose people I’ll ever know. After I moved to NJ (with my future ex-wife) we kept in touch by phone, but hadn’t visited in some time. He started to fulfill his life’s ambitions by getting his Associates Degree in nursing and passing his boards to become an RN. Then one day I got a call from him in which he imparted that he had divorced his wife, sold his house and joined the navy. He made the age deadline by two months – probably the oldest ensign in the navy. I queried him about his weight – he told me he had dropped 90 pounds. When asked how, he said a lot of salad and a lot of Nautilus. He became a navy nurse. He intended to be a lifer. His first duty station was Camp Lejeune and he spent, I believe, six years there. It was during this time that it was later revealed, the water was contaminated by all sorts of nasty things – benzene to name but one. This wasn’t discovered until years after his tenure there and the military gave those stationed there special dispensation when it came to future medical problems. From Lejeune he was stationed in Guam. He once wrote to me and told me that he finally had figured out what Guam stood for: Give Up And Masturbate. I think that, as with many in the medical field, Leo was a bit of a hypochondriac. He was constantly having himself checked for this or that malady – including several trips back from Guam to Bethesda. I always say, that if you give doctors enough opportunity, they’ll eventually find something. Such was the case with my pal Leo. After eleven years in the navy, he was diagnosed with MS. He got a medical discharge, which eventually rose to 100% disability. Still didn’t slow him down too much – just changed calibers, from the big bores to .32 S&W Long. Bought a house out in the country and became somewhat of a hermit. He eschewed TV and the movies but was a voracious reader – amassing over 3000 books in his small house. Most rooms in the house were floor to ceiling book shelves – except for his reloading room, which was floor to ceiling components, loaded ammo and about five presses – so he kept busy and had a few close friends that kept an eye on him. He used to drive down to visit my SO and me and stay for several days at a time. We would do the rounds of the LGS’s. He was especially fond of our dog Maggie. Over the last seven or eight months, he grew increasingly hard to contact. I’d call and get his voice mail, leave a message that was seldom returned. Finally, there were no return calls at all. This sent me to the Internet to check the obituaries, as I feared the worst. No obit to be found. In my last visit to him, he had showed me a Trijicon RX30 red dot sight and offered it to me at a great price. I came home and thought about for a while and decided to buy it from him. I sent him a check. It was after this that he dropped from sight. One day I get a text from an unknown person. They told me that Leo was in the hospital and had instructed this person to send me the sight. I knew the name and had maybe met him once, but this guy turned out to be a saint. He found Leo sitting in the dark at his house. The electricity had been turned off because he hadn’t paid the bill. There was no telling how long he had been sitting there, but the food in the refrigerator had spoiled, so it was at least a couple days. Money wasn’t really the problem – although it was later found out that an unscrupulous care giver and a waitress at a restaurant he frequented, had taken him for several thousand dollars with their tales of woe. End game was that Leo became less and less lucid and even became combative. He was eventually 302’d and that was extended several times. He was diagnosed with dementia. It took them a while to sort out his meds (not sure they really have) and he is now living in a veteran’s home in Scranton, PA. I found all this out after another flurry of trying to track him down and/or see if he had died. I finally got hold of the fellow that mailed my sight (Scott). Scott related this whole sad story to me. He had been taking care of Leo all these months. Had gotten power of attorney and straightened out his finances. Helped him (he has periods of lucidity) liquidate his considerable firearms collection (at one point he had over 70 N-frame Smiths alone), go through the commitment process and eventually get him admitted to the veteran’s home. Looking back over what I have written, I noticed that I keep referring to him in the past tense. Make no mistake, he is still alive. I actually spoke to him today – which was the impetus for this lengthy post. He is not the Leo that I once knew, with whom I shared shooting experiences and discussed the pros and cons of one caliber over another, or the benefits of a particular Smith & Wesson and whether or not it was worth the asking price. I don’t know if it was the meds they have him on or just his condition, given the dementia, but it was just sad. I’m glad that he is being taken care of, in what Scott describes as a wonderful facility. But I have to wonder if it is all worth it. If Leo were cognizant of his condition, and still in possession of some of his prized S&W’s, I’m not sure that this wouldn’t have ended another way – and the sad part about that, is that I’m not sure that would have been a bad thing. I miss my buddy. If you have stuck with this, this long, thanks for reading this. I have to go, my keyboard seems to be leaking. Adios, Pizza Bob

Can i bring this LOL

I’ll approve it. For the usual NJGF discount.

Understood. Remember that my opinion is worth exactly what you're paying for it... IMO, with 300WM the juice isn't worth the squeeze. "Hunting" in any form, sure. For paper I think there are better options that leave the shooter less fatigued. Especially if the gun will be shot in a "tactical" hold kind of way: essentially a hard hold. The 300 is a lot of powder popping off. Add a big bullet on top and the shoulder will feel it. The 6.5 class is much easier. The 6's even more so. My buddy has a 6.5x47 that's a relative pussycat. My other buddy has a straight .243 that is astounding to shoot. Each will do well to 1000. The big 7's will get there with a little less wind deflection, but again, at the cost of significant recoil. If someone is going to shoot 1000-1500 on a regular basis, the bigger rounds are worth it. In NJ, I wouldn't steer too many that way. Perfect example: my very good friend had a rifle built up in .408CT. Awesome rig. Custom action, Cadex chassis, yadda-yadda. Really nice gun. He sold it. There is no where around here to stretch it out. It's a several hour ride each way. I spoke to a guy in Idaho. He's 35 minutes from 1500 yards. This is the wrong part of the country for rifles like that. I'm not saying someone shouldn't have one. Not at all. It just shouldn't be a primary or first. If that 1200 yard thing comes together, and I can go, I plan on taking my .223. My handloads are just capable of it. Like "ragged edge" capable. Most likely they'll be tumbling on the steel at 1200. But they should make it. And to me, that's part of the fun. Doing more with less. More distance with less bullet/powder/recoil.

I had account here some time ago under an ATT.net email address that I can no longer access. My family has shared Leo with Bob, Scotti, Fred and many others for quite some time, 31years for me. He loved our big Labradors. I was on the same frantic quest to find my friend and tracked down Bob through another hobby. The last time we spoke I chewed him out telling him I thought he was dead. There will never be another Leo and we are all better for having known him. He told me numerous times that his last steps would be into the woods...I'll just leave it at that. The Table at Valhalla will at some time in the future welcome a cranky nurse and he will soon be trading in swords and axes. Keyboard dust...

my first real win at atco was on a classic car sunday. all the gamblers race regulars were there. first round I lined up next to this amx. he'd put me on the trailer a few times on gamblers race night. anyway.... set the delay box, staged, got on the trans brake, and as soon as I saw his stage light on, I was up on the 2step. tree came down, and I was gone on the flicker of yellow on the last yellow. near perfect light, ran my number dead on, and put his ass on the trailer. I made it to semi's, and ran out. by almost a full tenth. that sucked. but I was happy as shit to have made it that far. speaking on gamblers night. you ever drive a 9.9 car, and have to handicap a bone stock 1989 crown vic? I did. know how fucking long that 9+ seconds feels?? depending on the cam, you coulda probably gotten easily into the low 11's with a 3500 stall, and a smaller carb.

If it gets legalized and you can grow it, I for one am making planters out of all my 15 round mags.

I don’t subscribe to more impaired driving. The stoner’s are doing it now and will continue to do it. I can’t foresee soccer moms getting blazed and confused carpooling now it’s legal to consume. I still don’t see a pathway to eliminating the black market either. People have their sources, they will most likely keep them. New recreational users might increase consumption by 10%? I ask this of you, once it’s legal, are you gonna go wear tie dye and party like a rockstar? How about your family, friends, coworkers etc?

M&P under consideration. The new Sig - nah, not going to join the crowd of people getting in line for that one. Maybe after a few more years. You're agreeing with me? Something is wrong here... Meh, not crazy about the styling, but I'll take a look at one in person.

Billy Dixon killed a mounted Indian at 3/4 mi. with a Hail-Mary shot from a .50-70 BPCR Trap Door. Battle of Adobe Wells. Maybe I should bring my black powder & take a whack at it, eh? LOL!

just saw this video on farcebook……..copo camaros. i'm sure the gearheads here know what those are. they're chevy's attempt to unseat the cobrajet mustangs. they're close, but still slower. well.....looks like chevy's built a "ecopo" camaro. while it's a beautiful looking car, and kinda cool......it's still slower. by almost a full second than the cobrajet. in this video, the thing goes 9.83@134mph. while they claim it's still not at full power......our shop camaro with just a built to shit 454 ran 9.96@131mph while detuned. \ now after seeing that boring ass run, lets look at something fun.....on a bad day these run 8.50's. I've seen them in the 7's. and that sound...….holy shit if that sound doesn't send chills down your spine, then you're not alive, lolololol

A good long range scope will cost at last as much as the rifle itself. With all the inexpensive precision rifles on the market, I would not be surprised to hear that some folks paid more for the optics than the rifle. Look at Howa, Tikka or something built off a Remington 700. If you like the M1A, then your only real good choice is a loaded model in 6.5CM. That may put some pressure on your budget a lil bit though.

IT'S kinda far for me....but that inspection thing alone will prevent me from ever going there to buy or shoot.

Thanks, and it will be open to any NJGF or CJFO member. There is a limit to 20 people on that range and of course we can do multiple dates. I have not been there yet, it is about 2 hours 15 mins from me, so will make it up there to take a look, etc. @Bully for now let's keep it here. For those that responded... scheduling wise I am sure weekday would be best... Figure something for May or June... would folks be okay with a Weekday? Please let me know here as a post... i.e. Weekday Good, Weekday Not Good. etc. Will also see if possible to do something like 2 day, Sunday/Monday so those that want to do two days, or whatnot. there would be choice.

I just used GunsAmerica for a used gun. I emailed an FFL in Yuma Arizona and they responded the same day. I bought the gun and it shipped the same day. I will not hesitate to use them again.

I'd rather let someone look at my rifle for 5 seconds then have less places to shoot in the area. That and the fact that they are not gouging you on the pricing. I had an enjoyable experience and everyone there was polite to me, which is more than you can say about a lot of ranges and shops.
