  1. Lets see. One thing he has been doing increasingly is to push the limits on executive orders, and his ability to effectively enact legislation through the executive branch without having to go through anyone else. There is also limited recourse against such an act other than popular opinion getting you tossed out of office. There USED to be legislative veto of executive orders, but that went away. Currently all congress can do is cut funding to whatever executes the order. HAve the president veto that, THEN come back with a 2/3 majority to break the veto. SO basically, they might as well just pass an amendment to make whatever it is explicitly unconstitutional and let it go to court. OR it can be taken to the supreme court. That has resulted in an executive order being repealed twice in the last 223 years. So what COULD he do using that without any risk of resistance from the other two branches? 1) He could ban importation of ANY weapons or munitions that fall under certain criteria. Kind of like the assault weapon import ban put in place by executive order. So imagine if all those foreign brands of ammo went poof. What would availability and pricing look like fro ammo? Could you continue to shoot? Odds are there would be little recourse to this. To date we have the order from Obama appointees to generate a report via the BATFE as to the viability and impact of banning the import of non-sporting shotguns. The basic conclusion of that report was that you could od it, jsut say that all shotguns without a specific exception are destructive devices rather than go with the blanket exception they have now. Barriers to that are opening up a can of worms by making a truly massive number of "non-fringe" shotgun owners felons overnight. 2) He could lean on the EPA. So far, they have been saying no to repeated attempts at banning lead in ammo, but Obama has an election to win. He has set precedent by having them declare CO2 a pollutant in order to get access to regulating it that congress would not grant. He could provide direction to the EPA to regulate the manufacture of ammo, or the use of ammo in certain locations. A key milestone rapidly approaching that has not existed to date is the military having access to an effective and widely available lead free projectile. It has some teething issues compared to their new bonded core projectile that still uses lead, but who needs better when you have good enough. HE could also direct the EPA to start going after shooting ranges and hunting. Anyone involved with the operation of outdoor shooting ranges already know the EPA is a problem as they exist if you get their attention. 3) He can direct the DOJ and BATFE to do whatever. It doesn't have to be constitutional, if it isn't it has to work it's way through the courts and actually lose in SCOTUS. The odds are in favor of the people getting screwed in that case. He's already stacked the deck with antis in DOJ and BATFE. You see more and more fishing going on regarding 4473s and mandatory sales tracking. Heck. Fast and furious was completely fabricated, and they STILL got their multiple long gun reporting upheld as a reward for being criminals. Look back to the Clinton area for abuses against FFLs and any kind of "fringe" commerce in firearms and gunsmithing. it had a very chilling effect, and it was all executive branch advisement. The tools for harassment are MUCH more robust these days with fun stuff like the no fly list, getting pulled asside for enhanced screenings, etc. 4) He can declare a state of emergency. He just signed off on expansions to the ability to declare martial law. One of which is to commandeer manufacturing and distribution of scarce or critical items. The DOJ also jsut placed a massive contract for small arms ammo. If you decide the military ios going 100% lead free for small arms ammo, you can say whoops.. national security emergency... I'm comandeering ammo production, all facilities that CAN produce the ammo need to get busy making it and nothing else. All the facilities that can't need to stop production while we confiscate the raw materials to ensure production deadlines are met at the other facilities. How do you think that would affect availability and pricing? Very bad things have been done to the executive branch in my lifetime, but much like the deficit spending since he's been in office, Obama's watch has been so very much worse. Will the above happen? probably not. But the groundwork has been done, and it CAN now. Either the incumbent will abuse the tools he made, or whoever is next will regardless of party. We just don't know to what ends. My personality says that at the very least we should not allow him to enjoy the fruits of his bad behavior even if there is no way to fix the problem at the root.
  2. By your reasoning the police should not open fire on anyone either. They fire a HELL of a lot more shots per incident than the average self-defense situation. Realistically, there is probably not a significant difference in risk compared to your average suburban sprawl. A stray bullet will only pass through so much body and/or so much construction. Cities tend to have sturdier construction, and yeah, there might be 10,000 people on the sidewalk going that way, but the 1.5 people the bullet oculd pass through are simply closer than they would be in the world of suburban sprawl. Realistically, even when it is the police, they endanger more folks than they protect. What isn't spelled out is that they value their lives more. I value mine more. If the criminal scumbag would keep to themselves, nobody need get hurt. Wyatt Earp WAS a scumbag, sorry. He just happened to be the crook in charge and was a little less bad than the crooks that were not. Howabout we respectfully disagree rather than assume jsut because something comes out of someone's mouth, it is equally as valid as everything else and just as important.
  3. Or jsut call the number morning of. 732-796-6205

    I've ordered stuff from them. Communication was non existent. Took forever to ship. Had that feeling of I ordered it from them, they ordered it from the manufacturer, when it arrived they shipped it out. But they did discount when it was order from the manufacturer at msrp or wait til someone stocked it maybe eventually.
  5. Can't quite manage to care that it is canceled. I don't think the attempts at forcing competitor drama work very well. From my perspective, there was about 7-10 minutes of show per show, 15 minutes of filler, 15 minutes of recaps and precaps, and 20 minutes of commercials.
  6. I'm 38. Shot my first gun at age 10.
  7. $25 if not a member of either. $20 if a member of either. $15 if a member of both.
  8. Good luck finding orthographic pics of them. Much less ones with lens distortion calculated out of the image. Feel free to try it a bit though. Might be a learning experience.
  9. I have battle arms ambis on a couple guns. I should have spare detents. Might have a spare spring.
  10. They do not own the likeness of their product. They can cease and desist you over trademarks. Pretty much the only thing they have a chance of winning on image is if the portrayal of it is untruthful and defamatory. That being said, do you REALLY think that companies who won't defend air soft knock offs will give a crap about free advertising? The hard part of such a web site is getting the images. You really have to take the pics carefully to get them to mix and match well. That's a LOT of kilobucks worth of gear to have on hand. Even temporarily.
  11. Troy's force to to the big aperture. It's magpul, arms, and diamondhead that give you a choice as far as I can tell.
  12. Except you are wrong at least at some level. I ordered 20lbs of powder, and 10k primers form powder valley inc. One hazmat fee. They DEFINITELY came in one outer box, although there were multiple inner boxes. From their front page "WE CAN COMBINE UP TO 48 LBS. OF POWDER AND PRIMERS UNDER ONE HAZMAT TO SAVE YOU MONEY."

    M4 cuts have nothing to do with BCGs. If your upper has m4 cuts, your barrel NEEDS m4 cuts because if it doesn't, there will be a nice flat part for bullets to hang up on when feeding. If your upper doesn't have M4 cuts, it's better if your barrel doesn't, but things are usually functional if your barrel does as the upper will jsut cover some of the m4 cuts.
  14. That wasn't the medical examiner, that ws the funeral director of the funeral home taking care of the funeral. So, you know.... all sorts of authoritative.
  15. pretty neat use of google maps, not sure how accurate it is. Has most things in my neighborhood, but not sayreville sportsman as either a gun store or outdoor store http://www.mapofthedead.com/
  16. No, you do not, you just need to be able to read the rulebook enough to take a swipe at it and understand any problems pointed out. If you want ot be added to the list when we solicit for stages each month, PM me with your email address. For real newbies, I'll usually let you design my stage and ask you to hand in your homework early, I don't do one that month, and if I see any glaring errors I point them out ahead of time. If not, I build the stage with you and walk you through your plans first contact with reality. At Old bridge, I'll gladly volunteer for the same hand holding while building, but I'm not in charge of collecting stages. I started designing stages long before I got my RO card.
  17. how about a 6 cylinder turbo diesel? Mostly out of curiosity if it is just me who thinks that would be a nice powerplant option in a mid size truck or suv.

    Their 16" barrels are m4 profile, and are chrome lined with a 5.56 chamber. The only thing left at that point is the steel. Are they accurate? No idea, but unless they are using worse barrel steel, they sound mil spec or close enough. Between different non-stainless, barrel grade steels, there isn't going to be much difference in thermal conductivity, which means that heat dissipation is up to mass , which is down to barrel profile. Does it have the "double thick" chrome of some barrels out there? PRobably not, but that isn't mil-spec either unless you are making an m249 barrel. It is 1:9 twist rate, which isn't the current mil spec of 1:7 for shorter m4 barrels. Under sustained full auto, you can strip out the chrome lining of even mil-spec barrels. Chroming isn't perfect, there's nothing magic about it and nothing magic about mil-spec. If you are on a budget, I don't see anything wrong with a stag barrel. Heck, I might use one for a cheapie build now that I know they sell cheap barrels.
  19. My take on it was Zimmerman was stupid, and what he wound up with is a situation where nobody will ever know what exactly happened. The initial investigation gave him the benefit of the doubt, but because it is a situation without certainty, you now have politicians with a bunch of angry people behind him saying if that's the case, he can't prove he didn't. He picked the wrong situation to escalate.
  20. So that they can tell the difference between last years badge and this years at a distance.
  21. It also depends on the gun and the caliber. For example .40 in a 1911 format gun tends to get jammed pretty well into the to of the chamber while making the adjustment in angle from magazine to bore. There are other deisgns where the angles amtch better and the magazine lips sit higher relative to the bore that are less abusive.
  22. The state of the environment being what it is, most critters have some level of lead in them from a jillion small and not so small sources. Unless you make active efforts to remove it form a system, it tends to accumulate in certain parts of a system. There's still a TON of lead in the environment form adding tetraethyl lead to gasoline. But it can come from lots of places. Bullets aren't even NEAR the top of the list. However, for waterfowl it was a more legitimate concern. not becuase the lead dissolves in water easily, but because shot sits on the bottom in the much and waterfowl eat the much and like the shot for filling their gizzard. For simple mechanical reasons, it winds up going into the avian population very quickly that way.
  23. Well if your yoga pant's have belt loops. 5.2.3.1 Female competitors may be permitted (if so authorized in Appendix D) to wear a belt, holster and allied equipment at hip level, however, the top of the belt must not be positioned below the furthest lateral point of the top of the femur (tuberosity major). But that isn't for production or single stack. So if you want low cut pants, it needs belt loops and it't open, limited, or l-10 for you.
  24. Once again, probably ZERO. They are probably paid to provide access to their membership by third parties with an item to market. The 47 weekly attempts to convince me my membership is about to expire 4 months after renewing it and for about one month after I'm pretty sure costs them money though.
