Remember in November
Earlier than that. If you want to make them pay, you have to stay plugged in and up to date. Registration deadlines are mid October. You want to be sorted well in advance, in case problems come up. There's the campaign contributions. There's primaries. There's being aware of ALL the races, and participating at what level you can in ALL of them, not just your own district. Nag the crap out of every one you can. All the time. Need to burn some PTO, call up well in advance and try to set up meetings with them to discuss stuff. You want them, whenever gun control comes up, to think " I really don't want to put up with this crap again." You want the dialogue to change in NJ, look at the sponsors of those bills, and keep in mind that a primary goal should be the ABSOLUTE political destruction of all those people.

Why Homeland Security buys 1.6 bil bullets
Because as quoted, they seemed to be stating their annual consumption for trianing was 15 million rounds, not 15 million rounds per facility. The least boggling stat I heard was that they have 200,000 employees in DHS. That's still 8105 rounds per head. not all 200k are armed, and not everyone gets that much ammo to practice if you do straight up division. DO I think they are planning to lay siege to the populace? No. DO I think a heck of a lot more than getting a good price is going on? Hell yeah. At the very least someone is lining someone else's pockets for some reason. Especially when you see FEMA is getting MRAP looking trucks as well that are not particularly suitable to anything fema is actually supposed to be doing.

Boycott Sales of Ammo to Government Entities - Only Private Citizens
Given that the estimated maximum production capacity for domestic ammunition manufacturers is between 12-15 billion rounds a year (estimate comes from those same manufacturers)? Yeah, even then we buy most. Heck, the government bought 1.621 billion. We bought the next two years of production including foreign imports. so 1.1-1.7 months of production vs. 22+ in the same time frame. An average year of sales for 22LR is something like 2 billion rounds.

Phone meeting with Assemblyman Charles Mainor.
The hell you can't. NJ is a one party notification state, and that would be the person making the call in this instance. Only California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Oregon and Washington require all party notification at this time.

Sounds like Ohio has had enough
Now now. That's not what will happen. If you want to know where the zombie apocalypse comes from, Lautenberg dies, takes over from Satan, and all teh damned souls vote with their feet because eternal damnation was one thing, but THIS crap... well.

OK 1911 fans this has me interested.
Particular smiths aside, I agree 100% with the sentiment. You are looking at $5000+ for a gun there, and for only about $3k including shipping it around for the smith and the finishing work, I got a VERY, VERY nicely made custom 2011 just the way I like it. A 1911 would be even less as a decent frame is a bit less as are a number of the parts that are not interchangeable with the 2011. The only possible thing going for the big brands is if they have stock you cna have right now without the wait.

another "im the only one in this room qualified enough to handle......" moment
Yup, justifiable homicide, friendly fire, homicide and suicide are all lumped in under firearms deaths. Fatal accidental discharges get broken out, but I don't know if they are or are not also counted in the previous lump.

The Speech I Should Have Made
Hey, I talked about the bills, they threatened to throw me out, so... All you needed to know was said at the opening by mainer. HE said we aren't here to discuss changes to the bills, we are here to pass these out of committee. The heckling is the only thing that made an impact, mainly because the press was there. If not for the vocal dissatisfaction of the crowd in combination with the presence of the press, we would have been given false instructions and been denied the right to speak at all. They weren't there to listen, regardless of how the process is supposed to work. Almost all of the feedback from non committee assembly members has been due to notice being taken of how many people are so very pissed off by this. Mainer can take it any way he chooses. Being called on your lies over and over isn't over the line, and becoming more aggravated as time passes and the frequency of the lies increases isn't out of line.

SAF v NJ (MULLER et al v. MAENZA et al)
This isn't nj, it's the circuit court. What you hear with the deputy ag is essentially the fundament of nj law making and enforcement hitting a wall of actual professionalism and competence on both the part of gura and the court. My take was that the court was looking for any reason to give the state what they want, and in the end nj failed to ask anything reasonable that could be forced into making sense. Their argument was "because we said so" and the court basically said "we won't be seen dead ignoring 100% of precedent to back 'we said so'." Unless the court is prepared to create nj's argument out of whole cloth, I think they are at least going to be forced to provide an objective standard for justifiable need.

STATEHOUSE FEB 13TH - merged threads
I think primarily his responsibilities include collecting as many checks from the state as possible while not showing up to do anything.

Remember in November
Remember before november. Ignore party lines. If it was a Dem, and their is a primary, you NEED to switch your party affiliation to D so you can vote agianst them in the primary. You need to contribute, even if it is small sums, to any opponent of these people regardless of alignment. Even if their opponent is anti, which is better? An anti who jsut got told they can do what they want, or an anti that just saw an anti who won't listen can be replaced that you cna contact and tell them you are democrat constituent who contributed to their campaign and you won't be again if they don't listen. We have to take EVERY opportunity to get htem out of office. A specific D off the ticket is better han an R who lost.

A modest proposal-apply every new gun law to golf
No metal clubs, because the golfing founders couldn't have conceived of the tyupe of technology available to the golfer in this day and age and thus it clearly wasn't the intent of them to have it available ins a civilized game of golf.

Legislative Roster Links for Contact
They do not have the same number. http://shooterverse.com/NJ_ACTIVISM/ This has a list of all the critters with district maps at the top. Someone passed it on for me to host. IF anyone has other things, I'm glad to host more stuff.

Pro-Gun Democrat with common sense!
Tossed $10 at her campaign to tell the existing DNC machine to go F itself.

NJ exodus
If that statement were even remotely true, we wouldn't have the declining population we have. Your argument might have more merit if saying for every tax dollar that walks out of the state in a former resident's wallet, two more come in from a NYC commuter who moves here, but I suspect even that is not true.

NJ exodus
Our bill may be higher than most, but there is only one state that isn't deeply underwater on their pension system. It's been one of, if not THE primary factor influencing state bond ratings in the last 5 years or so.

Thoughts on ATC AR-Gold Trigger
I've handled the AR gold. It feels like a well prepped 1911 trigger. A little bit of take up, a glass rod break (I'd estimate 2.5lbs- something less than 3lbs based on my triggers on everything at home and having measured them with a trigger pull scale), and a teensy bit of overtravel with a firm stop. If I wanted a drop in kit for an AR built for shooting small groups form the bench, it is the one I would go with. It is not my preference for a run and gun setup. If Miculek is still running it, it is probably because the way it is set up penalizes him the least for the way he trains for revolver. There is a LOT less travel form hitting the full stop and being completley reset than a lot of triggers.

Think muzzle brake was done wrong. Help? edit: update on op
It was done wrong. THis looks like it was done by someone who doesn't grasp the concept of a crush washer and said I don't want to torque it down that hard.

Manufacturers Boycott Anti-gun states
Glock could, S&W couldn't being a public company. AT elast not with any hope of making it stick. In a way I do hope all the attempts to expunge publicly traded firearms companies form portfolios works. The company already got the injection of funds, and if their stock is worth jack they can jsut go private again. Then they can do as they please in this regard.

Fulton Armory complete bolt carrier group in stock - $184.95 + 15 shipping
I won't go so far as to say fulton armory is crap, but as a business they are not necessarily run particularly well, and are very much into penny wise, pound foolish types of behavior based on accounts of many customers and former employees. I've bought some stuff from them when things HAVEN'T been panic mode, and I have to say that unless it is one of a handful of things they have and nobody else does, I wouldn't volunteer for that experience again. I have ZERO faith that the web site is accurate about inventory of that BCG, and I have ZERO faith that they have the manpower to deal with the consequences of that in a satisfactory manner. I wouldn't even make it to "is the BCG any good" before punching out. If you want to deal with a mystery BCG, you still probably don't want ot deal with them being hard to reach and waiting in line with hundreds of other pissed off customers.

Fusion Firearms - 1911
I built a .40 off of a fusion kit. General home tools will not suffice, you will need some specialized tools. If you have a vast array of files in sizes, shapes, with safe edges and at least to 2nd cut, as well as a good vice, then I'll take a large portion of that back. The kits have decent barrels accuracy wise, however the slide stop is not .200", and it is a pretty crappy mim part (compared to mim parts in general), and fit to ride the link, which isn't that uncommon in cheaper 1911s these days, but not a good idea. I wasn't able to entirely remedy that, but I did fit a forged and machined slide stop that should stand up better. The parts shipped with the gun work though, and in retrospect just shoot it till the stop breaks for minimum headaches. You won't be looking at any more work than you wold attacking the problem up front and you will save considerable time getting to a functioning gun. Cylinder & slide trigger kits worked well in the scout kit as simple drop in parts. The real work is fitting a beavertail, thumb safety, mag catch, and sights. From what I ahve seen lately, their popularity has outstripped their ability to offer sufficient CS. I had no problem, but that was like 2006 or 2007.

02/23/13 Day of Resistance National Rally (with NJ location info)
If it is going to be a cafe, I would have just said make it starbucks everywhere. It's a national chain, they stood up for lawful CCW, and since everyone knows it, you might get some media attention. SPend the organization effort amking a cafe press hat or something to do some fund raising so everyone knows what you are there for.
