The decline in hunting in NJ mirrors the same incrementalism issues as the steady decline in gun rights. Creeping development over the last 50 years has drastically destroyed habitat and reduced huntable land exponentially. Look around you at all of the development ... the deer/pheasant/rabbit/squirrels that used to live there are GONE and never coming back. Hunters in NJ - now the most densely populated state in the US - have been compressed into smaller and smaller areas and are, in many cases, tripping over each other. This increases the hunting pressure on the game animals; affecting their behavior. Many hunters have left NJ or quit in frustration; reducing the numbers further. This downward spiral is accelerated by the demonification of firearms in general, further reducing the number of hunters in the state.

There were no seats lost by incumbent Rs. Senate district 1 flipped to R Assembly districts 1 and 2, Rs unseated 2 incumbent Ds. We gained ground. Not much, but gaining ground is always better than loosing it.

Meet the new Walmart Greeter! Just transferred up front from Firearms.

Gun control advocates realize they are not responsible or sane enough to own guns. Perhaps this mentally ill mother knew she wasn't fit. She and other grabbers project onto others their lack of control. Why is it that so many hard drug users are liberal? More conservative members of society get called out for abusing pain meds. I theorize it is because they are surrounded with liberals. So how did she have access to the gun? Was it obtained legally? Could it have been made to look like a suicide?

These gatherings don't accomplish their goals because the politician don't give a crap about us. They probably sit in their gold lined office and laugh at the protestors. Voting doesn't work anymore, either. It's a nice fantasy, but the politicians work for themselves now, not us. Voting is just a example of "The Definition of Insanity"... and a feel-good activity with zero positive results... Case in point, the nation had a Repub controlled congress for two years, what did that get us. The Repub House passed National Reciprocity, but the Repub Senate didn't even put it up for a vote. Get the hint yet????

....it is apples and oranges....sorry bad analogies.... As long as you are prepared to fight and die if need be to defend ur rights ...dont worry .... If u haven't made peace with that..well then worry...

Exactly. At that point they would require guard rails around all lakes. Only fix the symptoms and not the cause. This is why we'll never win another war, end the drug problem, fix the education system - any of that. No one wants to take the hard road and bite the bullet for the sacrifice needed to fix a systemic problem at it's root cause no matter what it is.

Absolutely agreed... However voting is better than protesting. The only way to win is to takeover the dialogue and to show the people what these bought-and-paid-for politicians are really about. Republicans are Statists in their own right. They are all about expanding big government's power over the people. McConnell, Boehner, Bush, Ryan, Romney, McCaine... They are all bad.

Kinda hard to deny shit when the shit is recorded.

I voted at 5:45, lots of people there.....Pissed me off since I figured they were all Democrats there for the sole purpose to negate my vote!

I do agree that yes, more people need to get out and be active... but I'm still glad things like this get visibility where we can - things will hit the tipping point and the silent majority will say "oh hey these guys are fighting - let me side with them and vote". It happens. You can't always force people to get to events. I've taken time off work to go to rallies... but it is always a huge disappointment when it falls on deaf ears. You can only push people so far to participate. I've stood up front in my range meetings and asked for people to attend rallies... do I ever see one of them? Nope. I will still do it though. We should be pushing people to participate, not eating our own.

Voted - but my kids kept the stickers lol

Or just died off. Let's face it the kids today just don't get into the same stuff. Do you see them at the drag strip much? See'em at camp grounds? On motorcycles as much? Fishing much? They stream to their phones, listen to their pods, play their games, get high and get laid. There's definitely a generational trend toward the inactive sports and activities. Oh and BTW, Don't forget to vote today.

As disgusted I am regarding the lack of involvement the NRA has in NJ and the way they (probably) waste money; the only people to blame for what happened in Va are the people of Va that either voted Dem or did not vote at all. I find it hard to believe that there are many (if any) gun owners that are not aware that the Dems want to take our guns. The money Soros, Bloomberg, et al spend to get their word out should have the same impact on supporters of the 2A. If group X says to vote Dem for gun control, then that same $ spent by group X should have the same impact as if group Y says vote Rep to oppose gun control. I agree money has a huge impact, and there is a problem when one or two billionaires can have such an impact. But in the end, they have a big impact because the public is ............ (insert your own adjective here). I don't spend money on a product because a marketing agency told me to with flashy, expensive advertising; deciding who to vote for is no different.

Stratfords mayoral race is tight. Originally Keenan (D, incumbent) was declared the winner, now it looks like Gray(R), may win. Takes 10 days for official recount. Not sure why...less than 1200 votes!! Would be hilarious, as Keenan was celebrating early....

Kooks is right. They want to blame the object not the mental illness. If she didn't get access to the gun, she could have just drove her car into a lake with the kids strapped in, like a woman did years ago. The kooks will just ignore the mental health issues forever...

Bevan is/was a weak governor...I’m really not too surprised about this. R’s won pretty handily in lower level elections.

Politicians today put their finger in the air to test the wind and ask their followers which way they’re going. A month after the shooting at the MSD high school in Parkland, FL, more than 300,000 assembled in Washington D.C. to march. We all know how that movement was so quick to gain speed, but it was effective Last Saturday, internet reality stars, YouTuber’s and Instagram posters make a game effort that attracted little attention. Politicians are in business to stay in office. They don’t do anything unless there’s something in it for them. They believe the pablum the anti-gun media feeds them everyday. Those first three causes were done without the help of something called the internet. Imagine that!

I voted last week via absentee ballot because I knew I'd be in Texas all this week.

I hesitate to give Zeke any validation, because it just encourages more of his attention seeking behavior... But yeah, the Sig P320 has a very nice trigger...

I’ll give you my sticker widdle buddy

Went about 8:30am this morning. I was the only one there in the room not sitting behind a table. (and consequently, under age 70...) Even the D harassers at the train station were at a minimum this year. Assemblywoman Jasey was with two of her underlings pandering for votes - but by the time I approached, they decided to leave. Didn't even get the chance to flash my NRA membership card to see her facial response. Damn.

Never miss the chance to cancel out a few of the dem votes This was the last vote here in NJ for us , will be voting with our feet well before the next election.

I voted at around 6:30am. I was #4. Didn't get a sticker.

Done. All R's. No D's.

Just gotta ask - were you there? Were you part of the 5 NJGUNFORUM members? If so bravo - if not, well ........ I wasn't there - no amount of rallying is going to change a God damn thing.......they do not care about you - they do not care about your thoughts - they do not care about your rights - they do not care about the USCONN - the only thing they care about is trying to exude power over you. They can and will try to pass laws to infringe on you - and some willingly go along - others do not. *When* it comes to pass that they can actually repeal the 2A - and it remains to be seen if they can by an Article V - if it passes - *THEN* make a showing in force of arms and say NO ! That is when they will actually listen - all else if folly and nothing more than posturing.

Nobody there at 6:30 this morning

Q makes awesome stuff. I’f love to Have one of their Honey Badgers with the integral suppressor. I wonder if they would make a Pistol Braced Honeybadger with a forward vert grip and an appropriate length barrel to make it a NJ SBF.....

I can't easily post pictures here, but I'm wearing my 'I Voted' sticker!

The sticker says it all

I am sure it does - I have been here as a residence for going on 24 years now - and my of my it has changed in that short time as well. Also I remember back in the mid 70's being up at the lakes - again changed quite a bit. Sadly - I love my home, i love my neighborhood, I love my area - but I am not staying. I just cannot do it any longer....

Damn Shop Steward/Job Site Foreman was in there again today inspecting my work, like always. That dude just can't keep his nose out of my business. He said the roof was fine, and he's the boss:

We should be so lucky.

Well, we could go back in time and make an argument against this statement. I agree that land is at a premium now and farmer's learned they could make some good coin leasing property to hunters. The Southern zones are infamous for their clubs. Land is at a premium these days. But back in the sixtie's & seventies I remember there was only a 6-day shotgun season, with 1 day for permit doe the following Wednesday, and the state was BUCKSHOT-only for deer/bear. Bow season had limited days and limits. Times have changed since 1976. Today we have copious seasons for deer, with all the permits you want to buy for deer, a fall and winter bow season, early and late rifled muzzleloader seasons, as well as centerfire rifle hunting limited to certain caliber & bullet weight for varmint on state land. (Plus centerfire varmint hunting on private land.) I'll give this state credit that they've evolved with the times and kept pace with other states.

So..... who got one, and when can I try it out?

Here we go again. Another free state https://www.foxnews.com/us/permitless-gun-carry-oklahoma

Bet you more people would support open carry...

"Avtomat Kalashnikov type semi-automatic firearms" are banned, ie Saigas, WASRs, VEPRs, etc.. YET, dealers sell them and there are thousands in NJ circulation. The NJAG Directive addressed "substantially identical" pointing out rifles, shotguns, and handguns. This KOMRAD is neither of those.

Don't listen to this guy, it's Taylor Ham. Don't listen to this guy either. No self respecting NJ native puts egg on their Taylor Ham sammich. It's Taylor Ham and Cheese, period. And welcome to the forum by the way.
