No they didn't. They did not follow the ny constitution when they ignored the mandatory wait to vote do that it could be debated and the public would have time to comment.

How are you incriminating yourself when notifying an officer you are carrying with a license. It's not like you'll be arrested and charged for notifying them of a legal activity.

Well picking up this thread, I'll say stop acting like an ass. Keep in mind on a board like this, you are much more likely to run into other folks in real life, behave accordingly. Not to mention derailing people's threads. Want to just piss and moan, start your own thread.

I've got thousands of rounds on one without issues. They aren't my first choice, but in the current environment I'd take one without a second thought.

I suspect it is more complicated than that. They can look at the firearms market as much as anyone, and can see that the pointing at hunters and saying "see, they don't use that" is on it's way out.

Did it do anything other than make the rounds of the echo chamber? Is it making it to any outlets that have to date been neutral or anti? BEing affiliated with James O'Keefe, has that made it more credible, laughable, or instantly dismissed?

It's not. Annual firearms deaths are usually in the mid 30k range with over 50% being suicides. If they are evenly distributed, figure about 1200 in any given year in a 30 day period for homicide, justifiable or not. I don't believe there are any statistics gathered and processed with a frequency high enough for her 800 esitmation to be anything other than an approximation.

Eminent domain, just like anything that invokes the taking doctrine requires compensation. States largely do not care because they can make an end run around it for most things by saying sell it in a state that it isn't illegal. Federally, it is a much bigger issue, and their usual way of avoiding it is grandfathering.

Hmm lets see.. you get a pile of stuff expedited under high demand making a guess about how many orders you will get. You have to raise your prices to $150. You get HAMMERED and in the space of a couple hours you know you will be short and have to expedite more. PErhaps you don't get the same price. Even if it isn't $50 more if you don't want to bump it so frequently, you raise it to have buffer. Things are currently messed up, I'm not going to blame some business that is keeping their price on (very much) the cheaper end of the market at the moment regardless of hikes because they can't predict prices and demand any more than I can right now.

MAking it a campaign issue would require that someone go out and vote on it. People of anti opinion seldom do that, and that makes sense. Anti's by their nature want the solution to perceived danger to be something someone else takes care of. If they were willing to do something about it themselves, the odds of their being anti would be lower. Just lookat how small their "rallies" have been. 30-50 tops for the few I have seen. Listening to the internet (full of high school kids and the rest of the planet), you'd think they were legion.

Dumping fuel to quench the charge air and prevent knock is still done. It's done with rapid throttle change. Are the ECUs more primitive? Somewhat. from 1990 to 2005, there is a bit more polling (about 25% more from the bits I understand enough to compare), but also about a 50% reduction in ECU cost. (about $1200 1996 dollars vs $630 2005 dollars to replace). THe knock strategy back then was pull timing till you can't, dump fuel into it if you can, and failing that, cut off fuel delivery briefly. For my 2005, it adds in the ability to mess with the variable valve timing. What new things have they come up with to prevent knock? Yes, the maps are bigger and thus finer resolution. There are also more because variable valve timing adds to the need for different maps. My 1996 ride wasn't a truck, neither is my 2005 ride. Variable valve timing helps it not be a dog off boost, as does displacement. the 1996 was a 2.0 the 2005 a 2.5. Stroking the 2.0 to 2.3 made a significant difference in how the vehicle behaved off boost (not mine, but I got to meet one). As for compression. 1996 NA version fo the block? 10.5:1, turbo version of the block 9.5:1. 2005 NA version of the block 10:1, turbo version of the block, 8.2:1. This is something that is newer. Is this making it into vehicles that are sub $30k though? Wideband is best, but it isn't like they weren't around back then, they just didn't shell out the money to put them on the car at the factory, and thus unless you replaced all engine management you just used them to tune your maps if you added one later. For the 4G63 engine, it wasn't that uncommon, it was a nicely engineered engine and pretty beefy. Unless you are going with a ball bearing turbo, or variable geometry, the turbos now are more or less the same as then. Heck, the make and model of the turbos are the same in many instances. Granted, we are just starting to see some weird new designs hit in mass market vehicles akin to some of the wackiness of the $30k+ crowd circa 1995. You have got to be kidding me. Yes, placement was usually sub optimal, and they usually weren't the maximum size you could have without inducing undesirable quantities of pressure drop, but what vehicles were not shipping with intercoolers? Heck, the last time I met a production car without an intercooler on the turbo was my mom's 1984 dodge daytona. The 1987 shelby version had one. The only place I commonly saw very low compression and no intercooler were ill conceived add on kits for NA engines that used a spacer and very low boost to do a not very good job of turbo charging an engine that was not designed that way in the first place. Mitsubishi, toyota, saab, mazda, nissan, porsche, audi, and volkswagen are the cars I remember being turbo charged back in the 90s. They ALL had intercoolers. I'm pretty sure the turbo diesel trucks did to. What was not packing an air-air or air-water intercooler with a turbo charger. Batteries explode? This was not a problem I saw people complaining about. Shortened life span perhaps, 3.5 years out of a 5 year battery wasn't that uncommon. But I have never seen a battery hit it's rated life span in any car I have owned, turbo charged or not. The plastics getting brittle, I don't know if I blame the heat that much, but even if I give it to you that it was heat and not exposure to the elements and road salt, etc. that made the connectors get dodgy, my 88 camry and went about the same number of years before the plastics got sketchy and about 35k more miles than my eclipse. My legacy isn't quite to the halfway point of eclipse yet mile wise, but is about 75% in terms of hours of environmental exposure. The plastics are faring much better, so I would suspect there ahve been improvements there. What parts have you had melt? NOTHING on my turbo cars has ever melted except for an ill conceived replacement made out of radiator hose to cover for a torn intercooler pipe connector. I take the blame for that though as it was an inappropriate choice for materials. Even so it lasted WAY longer than it had any right to. Now once again.. bolt on kits to an NA engine... different story.

I'd rather have ugly brass I can tell has had damage done to it by having stuff leached out of it than checmically treated brass I cannot. THe big ass harbor freight tumbler works REALLY nice and goes on sale for $150. I have done 1000 .223 cases at once in it without problems. You don't like dust on your brass, don't use walnut. Personally I use rice as it is very low dust and easier to get out of places you don't want it than corn cob media.

It does something. AT the very least the opposition has already used it publicly as a measurable indication of how correct their position is. If we don't show up, that statement is not easily refuted. We STILL may not get a fair shake when the topic is discussed, but if there isn't anything up there to show, we can't refute that statement. Someone says they are meaningless and too easy to fill out, what does that say about your position if you can't even manage to do that?

It's not just bang for the buck. It's entire feature sets missing form their lineup, or the presence of bizarre feature sets or UIs that make you go Wha? Why would you do that?!?!?!

Yes as they have been ending out layoff docs since at least April of 2012.

So sue me, I'm feeding the troll. A couple points to this comment. Where do you draw the line? That's the sibling to "the founding fathers never could have envisioned weapons like these." The founding fathers also couldn't have envisioned medical care like we have today, so keep in mind how much more lethal things were back then. Then remember that our founding fathers, and their close successors in managing the government, very often had to borrow or lease cannon and warships from private individuals. These were the weapons that one used to lay siege to cities, wage war between nations, and were generally the most deadly things on the planet. Also keep in mind that all the laws in the world don't matter. Materials technology is improving and getting cheaper every day. As a planet we have to learn how to cope with it. Precision CNC manufacturing is getting within reach of the individual, never mind a small business. Same with all the equipment needed to make biological weapons. That's just knowledge plus the gear for a small craft brewery. Explosives have been at that level for a while. At a national level, we have to cope with the fact that nuclear weapons are within reach fiscally and technologically of many more nations than before, and that number will just increase. You are never going to be able to put a cap on the tools of violence. A case in point, the 1986 machine gun ban. It's not like the parts are that hard to make by a private individual these days. THe cost to tool up to do it would be WAY less than the cost to legally acquire a pre-1986 machine gun. The ONLY reason people don't is because you are then choosing between being a criminal, and the hassles that entails, and obeying the law. If those making the law are intent on making you a criminal anyway, why obey any of the laws? This is one of the major issues with prohibition of any sort.

They have been issuing the government required notices, so yeah they have been reducing staff for a while now. They have been getting their butt kicked in the light market. Their price is high, which is acceptable to some for SOME things. When 80%+ of your product offerings make you shake your head at why one would even try to market such a thing at such a price, or it clearly competes with something else already in the product line with no clear reason why you would buy one over the other besides price, you have problems.

Do they make their own forgings? Because I'm sure if they don't those must be increadibly easy to get right now with no markup. You guys got used to REALLY, REALLY cheap lowers. $150 is much closer to what was normal for a lower for the last decade than $50-80 we've seen lately. $200 is a premium in a high demand market with increased costs due to scarcity and a potential time crunch for delivery. So...

Actually be pedantic. Heller set up terms for the fedgov. Mccdonald made the 2nd incorporated, which means heller now applies to the states as well. THe problem with taking on 2c:39 isn't so much deep pockets. If it were a good case there are deep enough pockets out there as proven time and time again. THe problem is it is too broad and would impact not just 2C:39 but a BUNCH of simlarly constructed laws around the nation that have nothing to do with firearms. This makes it unattractive to SCOTUS, and the liklihood of a favorable ruling at the circuit court level NJ is in is unlikely, and with the NJ supreme court it is zero. So... you don't do that. For RKBA cases, you want something a bit more specific.

I suspect if there is a ban on mail order ammo that doesn't preclude buying large quantities, that you will see regular group buys from local dealers of one variety or another. Heck, it has gone on WITHOUT a ban in place. The primary reason you don't see them much is that it was low margin, and to be viable you needed a reliable flow of demand. Under normal circumstances, getting customers in the door was simply too much work to justify the thin profit margin. If it turns into something that gets guys in the door, low margin bulk ammo sales are viable, and I'm sure someone will do them, at least for the occasional sale. However, if quantity is restricted, you won't see cheap ammo available here. If it's not federal, the simple answer is hop over the nearest border, get a mail box at a UPS store, and order to that.

With menendez all you will get is added to his spam list both electronic and physical. HE will just spam the crap out of you with messages about how he is awesome, anyone ho disagrees with him is wrong, and low grade begging letters for campaign contributions at the appropriate time. Even if you mailed them something that said he has been 100% wrong on every vote, and the world would be better off if he got cancer and died.

Let me be a bit more dire. Set up starts at 8am. Registration starts whenever I've got someone to build each stage, or when I am done building my stage. I got all of 2 submissions for stages this month. It is 5 stages. If we register late, we start late. Sunset is about 4:45pm. If we run past 3:30 you get a DNF for what you haven't shot yet. Squads will be no bigger than 12 a piece if we have 5 squads. Thus we are limited to 60 people. The more people that get out there and build the better the chance we are rolling by 11 and will make the time limits. People building stages get first dibs on registration.

Try to touch him and shake hands as much as possible too. Handle his food if you can figure out how.

I built a rifle up offf one of these for someone. You put on CF handguards and a lightweight barrel and it'll be seriously light.
