He’s compliant with N.J. mag capacity laws in 2021

Much has been made about the rising income of the mega-rich - and yet, even the most "progressive" media acknowledge that we're in a new age of philanthropy in this century. From HuffPost article "The New Age of Philanthropy is Here": "Over the last century and a half, it has become commonplace for the world’s wealthiest businessmen to give away large chunks of their fortunes in the sunset periods of their lives. But things have changed in the 21st century: Philanthropy is growing worldwide, and philanthropists are starting earlier than ever. Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan, who just pledged to give away 99 percent of their estimated $45.5 billion fortune over their lifetimes, are just 31 and 30, respectively. Both Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller, the forefathers of modern philanthropy, did most of their giving when they were much older. America’s second wealthiest man, Warren Buffett, didn’t begin seriously giving until his 70s. Buffett, along with America’s wealthiest man, Bill Gates, started the Giving Pledge in 2010, encouraging billionaires to donate more than half of their wealth to charity and even getting Zuckerberg to sign on." From the NY Times, "The New Gilded Age in Philanthropy": "An emerging class of megarich individuals have come to play an outsize role in charitable giving that has now replaced what were once roles fulfilled by government." The ultra-rich that the left seems to hate so very much - sure, they may buy an occasional Ferrari (hell, it's their money, why shouldn't they?), but I think it's also fair to say that they are the ones who keep an entire flotilla of charities afloat (as diverse as medical research, public hospitals, educational grants/foundations, museums, etc.) This "evil Ebenezer Scrooge" caricature of the uber-wealthy is terribly exaggerated and narrow-minded. The US has always been an aspirational society - and truth be told, has provided more "rags to riches" stories than just about any system in the world. People come here to "make it big", and traditionally, many then show their gratitude and "pay it forward" with generous philanthropic efforts. I just don't get this new "Hate the Rich" philosophy. I prefer the "Work Hard and Build your own Wealth" point of view.

That's the thing about the socialist system. It is a jealous system. It does not seek to lift anyone up, it seeks to tear people down.

Anybody watch this movie. I must have watched it 5 times already. Its a pretty good flick, But that's just my opinion. Good shootout on the freeway.

Your real life experience is no match for what he hears from from CNN, NPR or whatever source that has molded his ideas. My dad came to this country with less than 30 dollars (he never let's us forget) and started as a dish washer speaking no English. He did his job well and moved up in the restaurant business because he had a passion for design and got into offering suggestions for menu designs. This lead to him into contact with people in the design world and he got more experience with the inner workings of the industry. Eventually he started his own design company and throughout the years he was able to afford a house and send his kids to college. He did this without ever complaining about how unfair he had it or how oppressed he was. Kevin125, We can list example after example of our lives that contradict his viewpoints of success and it'll be as effective as warding off a murderer with a gun free zone sign.

would have been funnier if you said "this is where the thread keyholes."

This is the problem with these ideologies. They are never consistent. They are made at an emotional level and never fully thought through to stand the test of consistency. "They dont need that much money" is not a standard made in objectivity, but envy. If we try to apply that to them and set a different limit, such as "You dont need a car that goes above the speed limit" or "You dont need that extra room in your house that you arent using, so lets reduce the size of your house.", they back peddle and say well thats not what i meant, or that's a different issue. There views just dont work in practice and always comes at the cost of someones freedom. Our views are what truly stands the test of consistency. We want freedom. Period. I dont care that some guy is making millions while i live a modest life. Thats my choice. If I do not like the circumstances of my living I have the freedom to learn and pick up a skill and expand my options. We literally have all the knowledge of recorded human history in the palm of our hands. It will take time but thats why only those with the drive end up suceeding. Even standards of living are not standard. They are rooted in what is considered the norm at the time. So someone in the 1800's would look at your car, your tv, your cell phones, your internet and look at you as ultra rich. But we compare what we have with what other people have now and think we have such a substandard life. Envy is natural, but you should want to build yourself up to that level, not drag the successful ones down so you feel better about yourself. Dan Crenshaw said it best. Our governments goal should be to tax us AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE and maintain their services. Not to fund never ending social programs and choose winners and losers.

I want some of @Greenday's guns, since he has more than me and is a privileged white person.

This is true: ..." Philanthropic giving is one of the primary pursuits of the wealthy, particularly among the ultra wealthy, with 36% of the rich, and 57% of the super rich pointing to charitable giving as one of their top interests. Last year the ultra wealthy made several high-profile mega-gifts. For example, Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos donated $2 billion to the Day One Fund to help the homeless, and Michael Bloomberg gave $1.8 billion to his alma malter, Johns Hopkins University, for financial aid. " This is also true, and contrary to Greenday's illusion, the majority of rich people are SELF MADE (yes Greenday, they worked for it) versus inheriting it. ...."Only a small percentage of the world's richest people inherited all of their money. The majority are responsible for self creating some or all of their fortune, according to the report. Nearly 84% of high-net-worth-individuals made their own fortunes. Only about 5% completely inherited their money and about 12% have a fortune that combines inherited and self-made wealth." https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/16/success/world-wealth/index.html and lastly Greenday, here's the secret. Learn these ten important points, and you too can be an evil rich person: Here's one from the list: 2. The middle class live above their means, the rich live below The rich don’t spend their money on depreciating liabilities, they spend their money on appreciating assets and they live below their means. https://www.lifehack.org/articles/money/10-differences-between-middle-class-and-rich-people.html

I went to school at a different time in this country. Its a shame that the horror's and the failure of socialism isn't taught in schools today. This generation today is use to their parents and schools giving them a free ride. Why wouldn't they expect their government to do the same? How many of us who are in our 50's today when we were kids played on a baseball team with our brothers old glove? Or a bat from the garage, or had a job after school? I can still hear my dad's voice today. Put as much money away as you can. Don't think the government's going to take care of you. These kids today have no idea the danger that awaits them thinking a socialist government is their answer. Henry Ford said it best. “Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian.” Henry Ford

Malice, if you don’t want to bring food, we can always use paper plates, plastic utensils......

I will also add... 13 Hours Miami Vice movie also had quite good realistic. and that movie about the Mexican cartels.

I live on earth. My wife went from hourly employee to Asst Mgr of the 3rd busiest Walmart in the country in 3 years. Co-Manager of different Super-Store in 4 years...total time there. Not another 4 years. She was on track to Manage a D1 store. (Smallest class of walmart store. No dedicated, huge grocery side) in another year before she left to work for a different company. Health benefits Mediocre at best? Not so. They are pretty damn good. And not expensive. Included Dental. They also allow for medical leaves of absence where your job is protected and you get paid. They also have an emergency fund program where they will pay up to about $1000, once per year for things like utility bills that are behind, rent, etc. This program has a name and its a gift. Hardship request I believe. The story of advancement is repeated constantly in that company as well as others. I didn’t “read” about. I know the people. Does it happen for the people who take too many days off because they like to party on the weekends? Or show up late too much? No..... It does happen for the people who work hard. Learn as much as possible and have a good work ethic in general. So in fact.... for most people who try.....it does in fact work that way. To be clear....the advancement is not a gift. You have to earn it. You have to be competent. If you don’t take your commitment as an employee seriously, not only will you not advance...you will likely be fired. Eventually. Even though its a bit hard to get fired at a walmart. I’ll say it again. You really don’t get it. That’s unfortunate. You’ve been indoctrinated into believing that the part of society that works hard is responsible for those that don’t work hard. And failure to pony up gets your property taken away and quite possibly, gets you jailed. All this at the hands of a non-representative, tyrranical government. What is bullshit.....as you put it.....is the belief that an able-bodied American is prevented from succeeding by some group of evil rich people. The reality is those ‘evil’ rich people create the jobs where people can earn a good living and use what they learn to go as high as they choose to go. How many companies in a given industry were started by employees who worked in that industry for some number of years? The list is pretty damn long in tech. I bet its also pretty damn long in construction, service industries and so on. But we should thank you by the way. By posting the things you post, it gives us an opportunity to solidify the fact that leftists and socialists are wrong. And we are right.

Yo ! What about John Wick.

I would like to know who that freak with the bear claw is.

Confucius said it best. “If your plan is for one year plant rice. If your plan is for ten years plant trees. If your plan is for one hundred years educate children. ”

That is an idiom commonly tossed out when people talk about carrying a gun. I don't see why having a gun that's comfortable to carry is an unreasonable requirement, especially when I am the one selecting the gun. I'm not trying to conceal something that was handed to me and I have no choice in what gun it is. In the history of all man-kind, we are at the pinnacle of modern science and technology. We put a man on the moon 50 years ago. I don't think it's unrealistic to expect to find a gun that can be carried comfortably, especially with all the various sizes, makes and models out there.

i complained to the manager and he made me feel like he was doing me favor to shut me the f*ck up! fortunately, neighbor works with the owner at his corporate job (not the range) and my neighbors son works there. I was told the range is for the kids to run. I cant wait to give him an earful about my wonderful experience, -lol.

Do I have to report this post? I have nothing of value to add here, as I went with a Sig 1911 TTT...but there are some purdy 1911s in here...and of that list, I'm not sure if you can actually go wrong...

I have no problem with you bringing the issues up. Like I said I want the place to succeed as its soo close to me. I just dont see it lasting. It's mostly customer service issues imo. The sweeping brass right into the pit as you shoot is annoying. And when your waiting and 5 or 6 employees are standing talking for a few minutes and then start to help you after you waited a for 5 minutes is quite annoying. And its probably something management or owners dont even know. But it's happened to me on 2 of my 3 trips there. And like I said maks I pass there multiple nights a week and have shot on multiple weeknights and on a Sunday afternoon there. 1 of the weeknights there was 1 other lane occupied at around 7:30-8pm. The other time just 3 lanes occupied. On a Sunday afternoon there were maybe 7 lanes occupied. I hope it's enough but I dont see it being enough volume to last. If theres anything I can do to help them improve I'd be willing to.

here's my complaints......transfers fees are rediculous & u need to fight with them to get any paperwork stating you handed over your firearms to them for a transfer. No receipt, no COE, no nothing. I will no longer be using them for ANY transfer. I've shot there once, it is a nice range. had to teach sister in law to shoot before her 1st permit expired. i will be writing them off as a retail store for the bullshit. If I ever used the range, i will bring ALL my stuff, pay range time and not give them a penny more.

Figured them. I'm 5 min away also and I have shot there and it's a bit expensive but convenient for the range. I wondered why it was always empty as I pass the place a few nights a week. It's a bit pricey and it's annoying you need to buy a $10 membership card just to shoot there. Annoying also how multiple employees will be at the counter and you wait for 1 to set you up with range time as they help someone else and the other employees stand there talking. They also sweep your brass into a pit as you shoot and its lost. I hope they make some customer service improvements there as it's so close and would like the place to stick around. But I just dont see the place lasting very long to be honest.

Oops! Forgot a couple things...

honestly, this is supposed to be the daily humor thread, not the politics thread but that ship sailed a long time ago sadly.

If I can get it, I’d prefer it. However, if the gun needs to be small for whatever reason... I’ll make it work. Lucky for me, my LCP with finger rest base works good enough for me to just get the pinky on. So... all my magazines have that base installed (as well as Magguts).

That's an excellent point. How can liberals reconcile the cost of education, which is set by a group of liberal professors, and the debt it leaves students in? If they were really for reduced education costs, why wouldn't they reduce the cost of higher education and just control attendance through the standard application process? I fully support many kids not going to college to obtain useless degrees and instead learning a trade. If done en masse it would reduce the cost of education because demand would be lower.

Remember what you are dealing with, and resist the urge.

Beretta M9A1 is first up. Waiting for remixer to give me the call that he has it.

So update... I found one. Little over what I was looking to spend, but you can't spend your life waiting, right? Now I need to get some professionally fitted wood grips and a .45 ACP cylinder.

It was caused by a flawed barrel, obstruction and Day Light savings time. I have no clue... i doubt they even gave it more than 30 seconds of thought.. For them to really know 100% would have cost more then replacing the barrel. I'm just pleased that henry is 1. American Made. 2. Stands Behind their product without even a question as to what happened. 3. Owned by a Brooklyn guy. 4. Based in NJ

Lol! Aren’t you the guy that tells people to not be poor? My primary use for my rifles is “tactical” and all of my rifles have a brake or comp on them. While I agree they aren’t necessary, they all do offer a measure of increased control on the carbine. When I shoot on a timer, I see some measurable benefit to them. They definitely don’t make my carbines unusable in their designated role. Also, as I stated earlier, there are some brakes/comps that do a decent job at reducing flash that are N.J. legal. For the rifles used socially, I use a blast-diffuser or blast shield like the Surefire Warden. How often are you replacing gas blocks that a fixed mag makes more sense than a removable muzzle device? Generally, when a gas block is shot out, the barrel also need to be replaced anyway. If for some strange reason you want an adjustable gas block on an already built rifle (which seems at odds with the rest of your position as I read between the lines) there are quite a few quality 2 piece adjustable gas blocks out there that are priced affordably and easily installed. In any event, are you saying that you would rather have a threaded muzzle with an unpinned flash hider than an easily removable magazine?

Maybe if I go slower.. you are RIGHT there is NOTHING in the law saying it can’t detach when apart.. you are 100 percent correct so how it detaches doesn’t matter because the law does not address that.. in fact I would go as far as to say a magazine could detach without the need for take down or tools... because as stated the law makes no mention.. The problem begins on the other side.. ”ability to accept a detachable mag” can the gun accept a mag that is detachable? YES that is the only qualification described..

Im not arguing about anything.. my concern is disinformation which you appear to be providing... You already stated in a fairly factual way that the law folder was good to go.. someone stated that they have in writing it is NOT good to go.. your misinformation runs the risk of causing someone in NJ to get hung up legally.. just because I no longer live in NJ does not remove my capacity to care for fellow gun owners living there.. lastly.. I’m totally OK with being wrong.. I am not one of those people so blinded by being full of themselves that I will not concede to fact.. you are just not providing any.. Not Fact: “it’s legal cause California and off the record phone calls” not useful fact at least..

Make an account on Proxibid. It has online auctions throughout the US, and I have seen plenty of Colt SAA revolvers for sale. You can bid online, just remember there is a 10-23% buyers premium depending upon auction house that is added to your bid price. Many times things go pretty high, but there can be deals found.

Typical for kids. What's mine is mine but what's yours is ours? Not to be a dick, but I'm tired of the stupidity.

We probably already killed our next 10 Einsteins when hapless women go to planned parenthood and have an eggbeater jammed up their undercarriage. Probably knocked of a few Martin Luther Kings, too.
