Sir you just aren't creative enough. See what you really have here is not a hand up, but a hand out. To other political machines. See when two blue states have bad finances and huge debt that makes their bonds garbage, what can you do? Why promise a pittance to a people. But say to get the free money it has to be invested. Then you invest the free money program seed money into another states similar program and they reciprocate. Boom free money all around! You get to print it without the fed being involved and you can borrow even more as you now have this long term asset. Less cynically, you use the promise of free money to get people to approve the borrowing. You then invest that in actual investments and hope to outperform whatever your guaranteed rate was and you keep the overage for the budget.

OK, since the legend is shit and you pulled it from some source, any idea what the brown bits represent? Or the light yellow parts?

Rather than burden a right, why not just eliminate the local redundancy and use the federal system directly? There's no way these fees can't be considered burdensome. There have been a number of cases pushed up the federal ladder over permitting of demonstrations and the first amendment. A fee of $100 to permits a frikin parade was not deemed excessive. However it has come down much more strictly on stationary protests, and because of such reasoning is why most of those permits are usually free. They pass muster as existing to ensure that the public welfare can be provided for (traffic control, security, sanitation, etc).

California is regulating sale within california. Which they are in theory allowed to do ( I mean with how the commerce clause has been stretched, it affects a product shipped in from outside of CA, so should be able ot be the target of federal ire, but...). Same with CT and MA. Even NJ to date. The only place it comes into play crossing borders, and that is mail order. Which has some precedent for the laws of both ends of the transaction applying to the member in that state. This would once again be NJ trying to regulate things outside of their borders and that historically isn't working out for them too well. When I go to PA or any other free state to buy ammo, I just buy ammo... according to the rules of that state where I am and the seller is at the time of sale. And they deliver the goods purchased in that state face to face in said state. interfering with that would be like trying to get cabelas to collect NJ sales tax on people from NJ in their stores not in NJ.

They aren't there preventing you buying something legal, they are preventing you transporting something not legal in NJ into NJ. You can buy ammo in any state you want. If NJ starts trying to interfere, I'm pretty sure one can start causing them much pain with the federal government.

Worst case he gets told to put his pee pee away and stop making screeching noises and then the taxpayers of NJ have to break out the check book. But I mean they intend to piss our money and then some away anyway. At least this way we get a show and can laugh at the asshole.

This is a necessary skill. Take 2 hours to watch some youtube videos and do a field strip and clean. If it even takes that long. As for how many rounds? Depends on the gun. For example, a desert eagle is gas delayed blowback and shoots revolver ammo. With the cleanest ammo I have found for it that functions, it NEEDS to be cleaned every 300 rounds and that includes throroughly cleaning the gas system. Most of my guns, the limiting factor is how nasty it gets and my willingness to tolerate it, not functioning. 3-4k with a little lube added along the way is about where the gross factor comes into play.

No. They are officially an entity established in New York and the complaint is against them by New York in New York. The only reason defense distributed can sue them in Texas is because NJ tried to claim jurisdiction over them IN TEXAS. Which was deeply stupid, but it's NJ government, so that was a given.

From the perspective of Roberts fans, his decisions are designed to keep the court apolitical. Except that if that is the case, he sure manages to be politically manipulated. I think it is a more loser situation. I think they get weird because he tries to exhibit the independence he can get away with. Which doesn't make for the most logical rulings when you compare across many of them. To me anyway, he seems to be the DNC's whipping boy on big issues, and then shelters behind promoting judicial technicalities to try and squirrel away some discretionary powers to the judicial branch in lower courts. Which at the end of the day is really fucked because it essentially means that there isn't a lot of authority beyond the circuit courts.

"A seam weld extending at least one-half the circumference of the barrel or four equidistant tack welds around the circumference of the barrel are adequate for this purpose." This is the verbiage from the atf pin and wild letter.

When it goes, it'll go hard. Because unlike centerfire ammo where if you can get the tooling you can convert a machine from one cartridge to another, rimfire rounds have all the capacity they will be getting unless someone starts building out manufacturing. Because it is cheap, people tend to go from buying very little to buying a LOT. Right now I think it isn't at the top of the list because a large chunk of what is being bought is stuff suitable for tooling up for civil war.

Massive demand like this hits everything. Last big shortage even dies got scarce, but for reloading the choke point tends to be primers. For cases we can buy once fired and a lot of bulk comes from military and police surplus/scrap so that can get pricey, but it never really dries up completely. Powder, bullets, and primers can get scarce as commercial production can interfere in that supply chain and compete for supply. Las BIG shortage, we had some panic buying but we also had a big powder plant down, $4 a pound copper, near $2 a pound lead and a lead shortage, a military order equivalent to about half a year's market supply trying to be fulfilled in 6 months, and a few other bits of nastiness. Now we have upscaled production capacity from then, and a more robust supply chin it seems. Or at least we aren't running into bizarre shit like fiocchi buying out all the 9mm bullets precision delta can make. Which is like not as absurd as say federal buying back primers at retail prices from cabelas, but it is the same kind of whatthefuckery in that you have a major manufacturer sitting in line with me the reloader to buy the same stuff at the same point of sale. We may get there, but not yet. I suspect the industry also learned some lessons in that if you shit all over your regular customers for a simpler bigger sale, you will not have regular customers anymore. It's partly why we have WAY more bulk bullet suppliers these days, and they are generally more customer focused. The old guard fro last time around were kind of jerks and not the best business people. If you get into reloading today, presses will cost a premium, 9mm dies are getting scarce, and small pistol and small rifle primers are GONE. (hint: I don't expect small pistol to be back soon. Because if you know what you are doing you can use small rifle for both rifle and pistol.)

Banning political speech while exempting some political speech is usually a bad plan.

And yet the democrats hold them hostage to try and force a bail out of blue states with money problems.

Hasn't made them yet. But yeah they are supposed to resolve that crap.

I remember right before this hit that I had seen 124gr 9mm for $0.12 a round because I was debating picking some up since that was basically about what I could reload it for. Both the ammo and my reloads were bulk JHP. That stuff is now nowhere to be seen at any price.

Is seven years enough time to show a recovery form a recession? Often, but not always. What went on to cause the 2007 recession was similar to what caused the lost decade in Japan in terms of money creation and destruction. It was actually probably worse in terms of the fundamental impacts, globally, on the banking infrastructure. While going by the stock market, we had a big rally and then moved sideways for a couple years before stepping in the giant pile of dogshit that is 2020. However in terms of jobs and just general quality of life it looked like we were finally getting a proper recovery. Like unemployment out-competing a lot of jobs for compensation. Will we get a depression? Possibly. A lot of damage was done. However a lot of numbers are being inflated by unprecedented intervention. Heck, I still get spammed with realtor housing reports after my last refi, and they went from forecasting -1.6% housing prices in the next 12 months to 2.2%. I can tell you almost all the inventory went poof. In a town of 50k+ people, last I looked we had all of 24 homes listed. did that contract because of people fleeing NYC? People shifting form trying to sell to strategic default? Both? My 401 went from being in the negative to being up 5% for the year. And like it or not, the fed and the government are moving to embrace modern monetary theory. Not the lefty, you can print money for everything until everyone is rich misunderstanding of it, but more so the textbook understanding. Which is that so long as your printing doesn't create additional available money, or inflation is a desired outcome, then you can print up money and not care about debt. The government seems ot be happy to do it where there is a lot of destruction of money going on. QE and the UEI bailout are examples where it hasn't seemed to create widespread inflation. It's some weird shit going on. It'll likely get weirder.

$75 a case is a good price. I was paying $70+ shipping or $75 in person prior to this shit show.

Procedurally, CA asks for an injunction pending an en banc hearing I believe. That can give them 5 years of so of getting away with it based on the last time the 9th dragged it's heels.

There was an injunction sought that was shot down, but where did the case go? Or did that get a no and die without me noticing it.

If they provided a call tag, use it. If it goes missing you can go after them for the gun and point at the advice on they're site vs the common carrier's recommendation.

Holy shit their shipping advice is garbage. No one in the firearms industry ships overnight because they can ship cheaper with USPS so they do most of the time. Because they hold some form of FFL that lets them. Also it's an outright lie. Call tags for S&W are definitely overnight. If you ship 2 day and don't declare a firearm, if it goes missing you will be screwed. Thefts are high right now, don't follow their advice. Cheapest way I ahve found to do it right is UPS next day saver. It will probably get there next day. Might be early the second day. Either way it counts for UPS's next day requirement.

I've never had a cancelation, but a lot of 10+ day waits for something to ship. In fact the only things I have ever gotten from them in a timely manner were rcbs items back when they would have sick discounts on their stuff.

Does their trigger job change out the recoil spring? PIcs on their site of their cz-75 package seems to only include a lightened trigger return spring. For NJ, depending on how it is behaving, I'd check your 10 round mags. There's 3 or 4 different kinds from the factory as far as limiting method. If they bind tight when reloading slide forward on a full mag, the friction with the underside of the slide can also suck up the slide's energy and fail to fully return to battery. Remedying that is harder, and depends on the method of limiting capacity. You can usually make it reloadable by trimming the follower a VERY LITTLE BIT in the right places. But I warn to be very cautious as if you mess up you can wind up with an 11 round mag. In general with cz mags I recommend numbering everything from a mag with a sharpy as some use the 16 round followers in their 10 round mags and some use 15 round followers in their 10 round mags.

What did they do to it? I'm assuming from the hammer they did at least a trigger job. Could be caused by a weak recoil spring. Rails look awfully dry too, so it might need some lube. Those you can try doing something about yourself, or at least seeing if changing the spring helps anything. It could also be caused by the extractor not being installed right, or binding for any reason really (debris, dirt or other obstruction). between the ramp and hood. If you know how to R&R it, you can make sure it is clean and installed properly. As a make sure of it item, verify your slide stop is not cracked, bent, or otherwise failing. It's the weakest link on the c-75. I recommending having a spare on hand as it has a maybe 30k service life. If they fit a new barrel, it could just have bad geometry, you can't do much about that... well shouldn't. If they did the work they should fix it. You could always break out the dremel and roll the dice (don't do that). If they put a bushing on the gun, it could be cut to tight and not permit enough barrel motion for proper locking and unlocking and you are sucking up the slide energy into the bushing binding at maximum tilt of the barrel. That really should not be done without the proper gear and know how. That's a send it back situation even if you don't really want to.
