License to own semi-automatic rifles Age to own a semi-automatic rifle raised to 21 Restrictions on Body Armor All new guns must have microstamping (like in CA) Is there a single instance of microstamping being used in the arrest or conviction of a violent criminal? We all know it's a de facto ban on new guns and cannot spread.

Live a modest lifestyle, lock your doors.

The Globe and Mail: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editorials/article-a-ban-on-the-sale-of-handguns-its-about-time/ "Hunting Rifle" = good, everything else = bad. This is an opinion piece but will likely echo across Canadian media.

Seriously. You can't argue "18-year-olds can't have assault rifles" and have military recruiters in high school at the same time.

I wonder what one of these does to a lung... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Bess Here's one of those 50 caliber, high capacity assault rifles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_repeating_rifle Another interpretation: people shooting each other is OK as long as they use smaller calibers.

Of course, but the takeaway is that even though nothing was wrong with them they weren't given a clean bill of health when they were released.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/handguns-liberal-bill-1.6470554 This is for all of those people who say they support the second amendment but not those evil black rifles. After all, that's how this started: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-gun-control-measures-ban-1.5552131 This is brought to you by the same man who froze the assets of people who protested his vaccine mandates. Coming to an America near you.

Don't forget about the e-cigs!

You guys ever hear of this experiment? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenhan_experiment In summary, completely sane people got themselves institutionalized solely on the basis that they "hear voices." By the end, nearly all were diagnosed with "schizophrenia in remission" and no clean bill of health.

Today I learned that firearms chambered in 9mm are "high caliber weapons"

The other problem with the mental health pre-screening is the government can limit the accepted doctors (sound familiar?) They could easily charge high prices and lock people out due to cost or time. Our whole legal system revolves around assuming innocence until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and NICS should reflect that.

Example: we tend to order everything from curb side pickup at our nearest supermarket. Every order nets us a new collection of these "reusable" bags, whether we ask for it or not. Now we have a growing pile of these things. I prefer the Costco approach: boxes.

You're more likely to be pushed to your death than killed by an AR15: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8.xls While school shootings are not unique to the US, it happens too often. When people look to the skies crying, "Why!?", and the MSM gods answer with "lax gun laws," it's hard to resist. Shootings or not, teachers across the country are dropping from the work force. The gun debate is perfect. Gun violence is so statistically complex that people can cherry pick their talking points forever. This only exists to create political dichotomy and to further the business of politics. Waiting for our society issues and decay to be resolved is like waiting for the Messiah. Until then, we have to be prepared to make compromises. Especially if it's to avoid outright bans on classes of guns. I know, if you give an inch, they take a mile. But we have to be prepared.

To be honest, I'm not sure how useful the references are even in NJ. It's more of an IQ test: who is going to pick bad references? It's just a yes/no questionnaire to the best of someone's knowledge. Do police invest any time in actually following up with them?

Some ask to see voter registration cards, but a NICS check covers your ass better. I'd wager most people are fine with all sales going through NICS. Then it's a matter of getting dangerous people disqualified, rather than ignoring threats or giving gangbangers their 20th "disorderly conduct" bargain. It's a layered defense. The majority of crimes are by felons with handguns; rifles in general are far behind in homicide stats. The majority of school shooters are under 18. The thing is, it can't just be about gun reform. But if that's where the fight takes us, we have to be willing to make a business decision and accept a compromise that isn't infringing.

This is the funniest part. They're always talking about the strength of the NRA and the gun lobby, but I can't say I really feel it. Harris calls for another assault weapons ban: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kamala-harris-assault-weapons-ban-uvalde-buffalo-mass-shootings Whatever an assault weapon is, someone should tell her that NY already has an assault weapons ban. Columbine happened during the federal AWB. The scary thing is they've implanted the idea that all semi-automatic rifles are weapons of war, especially with "high capacity" magazines. My rimfire lever action has a massive magazine compacity :O

The MSM never highlights defense with a gun, even if it's a happy ending where nobody dies. In this case, at least no innocents died. We actually considered Charleston

From this logic can we hold the rap recording industry liable for "public nuisance"?

I never even knew non-solicitation policies existed, thank you! Aside from residents, we don't often get foot traffic around here. Maybe it's just the season. I notice some drop business cards, which is far preferred. Despite politely asking this guy to leave a card, he kept insisting I open the door to talk to him. He didn't even tell me what company he's with. Plus, calling my brand-new roof "aging" really spiked my BS meter. Thankfully he left when I asked him to. In times like this, how can anyone honestly expect people to open their door to a stranger? There are so many cases of people breaking into homes in this way.

So, I spent most of my life in Brooklyn. Plenty of folks from sketchy power companies regularly got into my old apartment building and harassed everyone. Lately I'm noticing similar in NJ. People knocking on my door wearing randomly branded clothing. One guy had "Power" logos all over his clothes but was pitching roof repair (which I don't need). Extremely insistent on me opening the door to talk to him (which I never would). As he left, I saw someone else with a clipboard and tablet pass by. Is this something that actually happens in NJ? Should I be concerned?

You do not have to go through an FFL. You simply pack it up and drop it off at the manufacturer's carrier of choice. When it's repaired, they will ship it right back to your door. The only issue is if you need a total replacement. That might have to go through the FFL for a transfer.

I recently got this and like it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09KL8GD97/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1R8D11LEW9PVR&th=1 Extremely spacious and the individual pistol cases fit my full size 9mms and 45s without issue. However, they do not fit my 6" barrel single six. The zipper around the pistols can take a small lock. I like being able to bring everything in one bag, including eyes and ears. Plus, it makes a great all-purpose bag. I have a medium-sized case that works well for one or two carbines. For anything more, I have one of these that works very well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077JP8BDT/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&aaxitk=8c2306a4c403ef1227e98ea67ededaf5&hsa_cr_id=8078911770601&pd_rd_plhdr=t&pd_rd_r=e25c9181-e14a-4865-ac6b-07cbe36150b5&pd_rd_w=IX3uh&pd_rd_wg=szRXx&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_td_asin_0_img

I actually had a dream last night that gas suddenly jumped above $6 and I regretted not filling up when it was $4 something

Not to sound facetious but what actually happens at something like this?

When I saw that in CNN I was amazed at the audacity. They're really preying on the ignorance of laypeople who know nothing about guns by calling these mags a "modification."
