Gun violence meeting
Uhh a LITTLE more detail might be useful. Like is this in line with the SAFE committee, is it million mom march having a get together, is it an NRA thing? Why should anyone be attending? Consider describing that.

.223 Ammo Virtually Gone
Components are drying up for .223 and 9mm because the civilian market is GREATLY outstripping the demand compared to the large government contracts and there are also large government contracts to fulfill. If it goes like last time, .223 brass will get ahrd to find, even once fired as the remanufacturers get slammed, and anything but high quality match and varmint bullets for .223 will go to commercial production. Certain brands of high quality match and varmint bullets will still trickle in at regular intervals. 9mm will start being available in 124gr only when you can get them. .40 and .45 will come in and go out of supply in waves. Small pistol and small rifle primers will become very scarce. Don't be surprised to see only small pistol magnum and/or small rifle primers coming in drips and drops to the supply channel because you can work up loads substituting them for small pistol, but not the other way around. That's the generall summary of previous times. I've never seen powder going out of stock to the extent it has been, this isn't like last time, so buckle up and take the above fairly conservative estimation of the ongoing state of affairs for about a year. I'm beginning to think buying up 4 years of supply about a year ago was not sufficient to avoid this mess.

556 tactical taking pre-orders on their billet upper and lower sets
https://www.store.556tactical.com/556-tactical-ecr-upper-lower-reserve.html Not cheap at $565, but that's only about $100 premium over a matched set of billet receivers, and lowers are marked up more than that most places. Heck, by the time you buy a forged upper and lower these days, you are probably around that price or worse. Opportunity to get in line, anyway. Figured I'd share, I have had what I need for a while now.

Lee Reloading Stand + Hornady LnL AP
You are going to want the powder measure travel stop from hornady if you are going to use a powder through expander or the powder funnel. For .40, the hornady PTX insert is functionally insufficient due to their design. You'll need to either to get an insert form powderfunnels.com (which is still non optimal, but works), or you will need to aquire one of the mr. bulletfeeder inserts which are designed more like the lee powder through expander.

Law & Public Safety Hearing
According to the usher or whatever they are who we were chatting with this hasn't happened for any bill that she can remember. She was referring to the crowd and trying to hear this many bills in one day. Part of the late start was that they had to move the room multiple times.

ammo + fire = deadly???
Only in a magical world where the one in the chamber gets hot enough to cook off while the ones in the magazine do not. Keep in mind the one in the chamber has the barrel as a heat sink too. Once the rounds in the mag have heated enough to unseat the bullet your odds of feeding another round are slim to none because you wedged the follower with stuck ammo. That's on top of the gun not having enough resistance to cycle properly. As for storage, loose cooks off. Ammo boxes cook off. Ammo can's are designed to have the seal fail under high temps so at least gas pressure doesn't build up. They either contain the cook off, or they cook off. Putting ammo in your safe can be bad. Safes with any kind of meaningful fire rating have a heat activated seal on the door. So you can have ammo cooking off generating gas and have it all sealed in. With ammo I don't know if you can get to a dangerous situation as the seal may fail and the pressure spike may not be rapid enough to be a hazard before then. Storing powder in your safe is definitely a hazard as it will make a lot of gas REALLY fast once you hit the magic temp.

PWS FSC muzzle devices.. NJ (or ban states) legal?
Pretty much ignore most of the above. It is wrong. A flash suppressor does two things, if clocked properly, it redirects burning gasses outside of the shooters sight picture, and it attempts to rapidly cool the venting gasses as much as possible so that the burning gas is not as bright as it would be normally. The smith vortex is probably one of the best flash suppressors out there, and you can't jam you finger down the front of it. It works VERY well, just hit up youtube search to see examples. A comp has a small diameter hole because it is designed to counteract recoil using the gasses escaping form the muzzle, and there are only two ways to do that, let the gasses impact some form of baffle, and vectored jetting of those gasses. If you want vectored jetting, you need a baffle to redirect the gasses to the jetting ports under pressure. The only way to take advantage of jetting without an explicit baffle is to port the barrel, in which case the projectile acts as the baffle. Flash hiders are cheaper (sometimes) because they are easier to manufacture due to less need for perfect concentricity of threadsing and baffle holes to the bore due to being able to do their job with a more open design. The A2 in particular can be very cheap because you cast it, thread it, and done. The a2 is not very efficient because it's primary concern is preventing a weapon form being out of action from catastrophic failure due to debris getting in the muzzle device. Flash reduction was second priority. As for accuracy, you can get sub MOA accuracy out of a gun with a comp or flash hider, regardless of turbulence. Building for maximum accuracy is easiest with a crowned muzzle, at least when time is not a factor in measuring that accuracy. If you are on the clock, a good comp makes a huge difference in split times. When going for maximum accuracy, you may have to do more work with a comp to build it right, and may have to be pickier about what projectiles you load in your ammo, and how much gas you feed the comp (i.e. powder choice and charge weight).

Christie Campaign possible opportunity
TO be fair, the only detailed NRA-ILA mail I got regarding the storm of bills was overnight last night. If the NRA doesn't have your email address, you have seen NOTHING and probably won't until campaign time. As far as Christie being pro gun, you might ask them then he might want to reconsider who he ahs appointed to the AG spot and why they keep on messing around with the idiotic AWB to make it worse, and why under him are the state police not ACTIVELY cracking down on illegal additions to the already onerous permitting laws? Just some ideas on what to be asking of these people. He gets a free ride being able to shrug and say "but the state legislature." Screw that, there are a ton of little things he could do in the executive branch on his own to make life suck less for NJ gun owners. Ask for it. His campaign has an academic notion of wanting gun owners on their side, but they live in an echo chamber of NJ republican politicians and campaigners who do it for a living, they poll the room and think they have a clue.

Ex-LAPD on murder spree...
From the money fairies. Don't worry, it only pays out if he is convicted, and they obviously plan to murder him at the first opportunity, so they won't have to pay out anyway.

Anyone use AT&T for a cell provider?
I have my mom on my family plan. She's down near Delaware, and everything but att is one bar or less including Verizon, even with an external antenna. On the other hand, you want reception on the subway in the city, Verizon has that contract. In general they both work pretty much everywhere in nj, especially for text and calling. Data is a different matter. The real issue I run into are cells being over capacity. AT&T tends to fail data first, then fail to make calls. Verizon tends to randomly only connect one half the conversation. With Verizon I also had issues with competing very strong signals. I'd get dropped calls because the handset had trouble picking and would eventually dump the call. From a service point of view, AT&T has always been able to unscrew their screw ups, even pretty severe ones. Verizon screwed up less, but ranged from uncooperative to hostile. Verizon billing is customer hostile. They tell you you are paying up front for the next month sometimes, Others they tell you it's for last month's use. Every time I have left them, they always stuck me with an extra month of billing. So, 24 months of service, 25 months of bills. Every other carrier, it has been 24=24.

Response from Rush Holt - Another Clueless Hack
Your response should also include a promise to fund any and all of his opponents, democrat or republican. Step one is get them out. Even an anti freshman is less bad than an anti owed lots of favors.

DHS buying more ammo
The problem with the dry up the supply notion is that 1.621 billion rounds dries up about 6-7% of production capacity. It's citizens drying up the supply.

NYSP gearing up for confiscation for the non compliant
I know I have made the point before about being a cop is unpleasant and high risk of injury, but not really deadly. I also brought up the above. If it comes down to it, asymmetric warefare will be a **** for the police, and things might go a bit weird in a way the public may not like. Case in point http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2013/02/ex-cop-manhunt-newspaper-delivery-women-shot.html The LAPD is going a bit crazy when it is their butt directly on the line and someone wants them dead. They have shot two people without any pretense of following procedure, and opened fire on two unrelated vehicles for simply matching the make model and color. Neither had anything to do with the bad guy. How much more of this do you think the populace is going to tolerate for something that is a threat to the police and not them? http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2013/02/ex-cop-manhunt-newspaper-delivery-women-shot.html

DHS buying more ammo
well, drudge quoting infowars. Here's some perspective. They ordered 1.6 billion rounds. They added 21.6 million more to that. From recent reports, the retail channels are moving MANY, MANY times that. We've basically maxed out free global manufacturing capability. Even domestic, they can do about 12-15 billion annually. Which side is stockpiling more rounds of ammo faster? It's not DHS. And don't stop. This sends a message.
