It may also be something in the Texas rules. a VAT type tax is not unheard of, or may be used to fund something else. I will see about reaching out to any of my clients in Texas to find out.

Pizza Bob.... is this real? I can believe it. Part of Obamacare are new taxes.... including a 2.8% tax on investments and more taxes on businesses to pay for obamacare.... A few businesses made the announcement that they would be passing on that tax to the consumer. I did a summary on all the new taxes today. http://www.maksfs.com/so-long-fiscal-cliff-financial-planning-clarity-on-taxes-for-2013-and-beyond/

I think the perfect solution would be recently returning Vets. How many cannot find a job and would be ok keeping calm at a school for $40k a year? Far better than having a licensed citizen with a gun.

All has been resolved, or at least both parties understood. =) He was the first in 8 months to get a 24 hour timeout too. It was not anything that was individually publicly posted per say. In any case, keep calm, carry on.

All for it. Marlboro is in far better shape than other towns and counties.

Quite wrong. If you want to discuss politics, become a premier member and do it respectfully. Like it or not, many people I know here personally share different views, even on guns. While someone's view on guns may be a common trait that other Libertarians, Conservatives or other share, there are plenty of people Pro gun, but also are for having a larger government more involved with their lives.... much like someone else I know, granted not on the forum, who is a gay african american, who is also a conservative republican and all for the 2a. go figure. Your blinded view is why people paint a lot of gun owners as they do. I would encourage you to really go out and view each issue individually and form your opinion on the overall person, and not how they react to one issue. Btw, if you want to discuss politics, there are plenty of other forums for that.

The problem is, this was tried from the beginning and 90% of the posts were politics, and even though we are all pro gun here, not everyone has the same beliefs. Then people piss in each other's cerial and it divides us. Gun rights are gun rights, politics are politics. However most people can't discuss politics without resorting to name calling and degrating others who do not agree with their opinion. As far as the classifieds, there is a variety of reasons to have it primarily for premier members. Some of it stems from legal reasons, protecting the forum, to plain ol we had people register just to offload their stuff and then be gone. Spending 5 mins to be a premier member kind of keeps people involved on the forum. If money is an issue to anyone, the $3 it would cost to become a premier member, they can send me a pm and I would post that item for them or make an acception, in the 2 years or so, not one person has done it. In any case... $3 is still far cheaper than any fees you would pay on gunbroker. For the legal reasons, send me a pm will explain. Lastly, the forum costs money, and recently, shit tons of money, more vendors and more premier members means less ads. I hate ads. Premier members do not have the one single ad banner they see above. Along the same lines, if someone comes here to sell something, and they contribute towards the upkeep of the forum, I am more ok with than, instead of having them register just to offload. The other way would be minimum post counts, but than someone would just post 25 "hellos" in the intro threads. Currently, it is a very very very good mix in terms of covering forum expenses, with enough premier members, the vendors are paying very very very very little per month, significantly less than any forum our size. Put it this way, if any vendor sells just one gun a month, the measely profit off of the transfer fee, covers their vendor costs for the month.... as opposed to the hundreds of dollars a month vendors pay on other forums. This is why we can have good FFL's, and good mixes of at home and store ffl's. Besides that, banner ads are not really a possibility because the largest provider for sites is Google, and google has an anti firearms policy and do ban at first sight. When google drops the ban, it is across the entire network. Hope that makes sense.

Ford was in as bad a position, they were lucky with Allan Mullaly getting a major line of credit while they could. Ford's success came from the failure of GM and Chrysler. Yes, their products changed, and it was a portion of it. Beyond it, Ford made first moves to deal with unions. Why poor products? Because $5,000 of every car from GM was pension obligations that were underfunded. Hence, the price of the cars was far above what it had to. You had a $15,000 car, with a $20,000 price tag. Then you had the extra discounting. In any case, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, all far better off... all non union shops. Don't get me wrong, it was not all UAW, but a large portion, yes. It was finally within the past few years the Union realized they had to deal, because without GM, Ford, Chrysler.... there would be no need for a Union.

Seriously? Wow. I am glad I did not have those teachers. I must say, I did have pretty good teachers, and most of them cared... however it does seem more people are going into teaching because there is nothing else to do.

Yep... and why we would be considering home schooling. There are good teachers, there are bad teachers, there are really crappy school districts. But education is supposed to start at home, and more parents should look at school more like an extension of home learning than free babysitting.

It has nothing to do with productivity really, it has to do with management. My big issues with Unions is that the majority of them fight the employer tooth in nail for everything, to the brink of extinction. In alot of cases, unions are good, for jobs where people are independent, say plumbers.... but for instance the UAW.... their unwillingness to accept reality and compromise is what led to the downfall of GM and the domestic markets. Look at Toyota... no unions, employees still paid over $30 an hour, and for the most part, a great product. a GM employee getting paid over $60 an hour, or $80 an hour with benefits..... to screw in bolts? Its pushing it.

ben, which dicks? Lawrenceville/pton?

There we 3 boxes of 223 avail at Dicks in Freehold for $8.99 or so as of 5pm or so today. In all reality, if someone wants 223... and you have brass, bullets, powder, or can get them, will be happy to reload it for you or come do it yourself. I have the press and everything you need for it.

Semi Auto? 17L would be long enough. There really is no reason to go beyond 6". One issue you have is the long long slow action of the slide unless you do massive weight reduction. I guess you can, but why? This year in USPSA, 2013, there will be no restriction on the length of slide or minimum production requirements so I am going to assume someone will play with the idea of a 7" gun, but it will surely be lightened, or weight on the very front, lightened throughout. Plenty of nice 6 inch guns in 40 cal, if you shoot 165 grain bullets, 180 there is no reason to at that point, you are getting more than enough velocity. If you must have a big barrel in a semi auto... the 7 or 8" or whatever it is in a Desert Eagle.... or you can get an HK Expert Elite or whatever it is with the 6" or slightly longer slide.

that a good question, send Ron an email or Mike. I would be concerned with ricochets which happen every match.

The only issue, you would have to limit it long guns, to individuals, so best bet would be FFL, but FFL would essentially have to stick their neck out on the line as they are the ones receiving firearms.... then the issue is, who is responsible for if guns are stolen. It is an idea absolutely worth exploring, and I would suggest reaching out to Frank at NJ2AS. They have a subsection here, or go to their website, www.nj2as.com

btw, Typically in Shongum, snow cover on the ground, and a good 5 to 10 degrees cooler than here..... er ground level.

There is the Florida Open in February. Very challenging match.

The issue is, any individual can do something, and say they are part of anon.. Ie, like here. Some guy claiming to be part of anon put up a video supporting 2a. then.... 6 months ago, there was a massive amount of Anon claimed forum hackings... all gun forum hackings, where anon wanted to get rid of all the guns out there and guns were evil.

As others mentioned, no one really knows. We have the biggest tax hike in history coming in less than 36 hours that no one knows what will happen, yet you expect some gun shop expert to know? Its called making sales and charging $1800 for a $650 DPMS rifle. LEO are just gun people like everyone else. They don't have any more of a clue to what is happening than anyone else. The reality is.... no one knows what if any new gun laws will pass. Personally, don't think there will be an AWB, and this will be yet another Obama rush. I think in 36 hours we will start talking about taxes and how fucked the economy really is, and this whole gun talk will be going away slowly. Today Obama was on Meet the Press and said his top priorities were immigration, economy and debt.

Lol, you guys are kidding right? You do know the same "Anon" groups are the ones hacking Gun message boards? Anon is merely a bunch of high school kids with computers who want to get their point across, as far as anyone is aware, it is anyone with a computer who wants to be "hardcore" Yes. I even participated in that stuff back 15 years ago making "progz" for AOL 4.0. (or might of been 3.0) at the time.

No, it does not get deleted... IT gets moved to politics section where it belongs. =)

I encourage you to check out NJ2AS. Every day I am getting emails from them to do something. The most important thing is to have numbers, and to even have people be aware of what is going on. Otherwise, you just have a few rabbit nuts people. Check out NJCSD... remember them?
