Declaratory Judgment Sought in NJ’s Carry Permit Scheme, Violates Full Faith & Credit
OK, and? Full faith and credit has struck down court rulings from applying in other states as well as caused them to be upheld. And as others have pointed out, lots of CCPs are issued by regulatory agencies, so the all courts must respect all other courts rulings is neither clear cut, nor universally applicable to all carry permits. Yes, bringing this suit with someone with a permit issued by a judge is a more robust tactic than not, but it's far from comprehensive and iron clad.

Quieter Brake?
https://venom-defense.com/ar-15-viper-compensator-1-2-28-qpq-coated/ Very nice comp, I use it myself. You will have to drill it to pin and weld, or do the high temp silver solder thing. $20 right now with a 20% coupon. Super cheap. Leaves access to clean the crown too.

Did Scalia Botch Heller?
We will never get absolute strict scrutiny. Nothing really has. Hopefully we get a solid legal test that reigns this bullshit in and lets things calm down.

Doubt it. It's not a slam dunk case. Yes.. every state respects other states' licenses to drive. However, they don't do the same for a license to practice law, medicine, be a barber, etc. It's a mixed bag. This is not a clear slam dunk.

What Impeachment? Stock Market Closes at ANOTHER Record!
It doesn't make zero sense. The market isn't about actual value. We have all this ledger cash, and the banks just print more and more of it, and you CAN'T just turn it into cash. There isn't enough. You CAN'T just go buy a physical asset and let it sit. There's not enough of anything to actually house the value without the price of that thing shooting through the roof. At which point nobody will buy it off you. If they want to preserve it it has to go find a bunch of hidey holes or buy a lot of government paper and be locked up for long term. As long as they don't think there is someone in charge of policy that will work at making their money shrink, the owners of said vast ledger sums will have it out there trying to make as much more money as possible rather than shielding it from loss. In case you ahven't noticed, without global pressures causing deflationary force, the economy generally rocks as soon as they think favorable policy moves into DC. It starts sucking as soon as they think unfavorable policy has moved in. Nobody thinks Trump is going to put forth policy that is bad for making money. So the worse thing that happens is occasionly people get twitchy that they will be less rich than possible by holding too long and decide being the first guy to blink is better than being the guy holding too long and we see a dip while profits are taken. Then a bit later that money has to go make more money.

Ruger PC Carbine #19126 Compliant "Out Of Box"?
As described, it should be. It has a pistol grip and detachable magazine and that's it. Which currently works in NJ.

Quieter Brake?
My $0.02 is no. Based on my experience, pinned and welded muzzle devices are legal because they are not flash suppressors and because, being permanent, they become part of the barrel and eliminate the evil feature of a threaded barrel. Pin and welding something with threads to the barrel just replaces the old threads with new threads and you still have a threaded barrel.

Bloomberg shows his hand on his Gun Laws if he's President

If you want to see what Bloomberg's plans for gun owners are, just look at VA. They got bought and paid for by him and are floating everything he asked for. That shit didn't come out of nowhere.

Sig M-17 Surplus
It all comes down to the manual safety and the baby poop color. Do you want a manual safety and a sig p320? If yes, than this is for you. Do you want baby poop brown? Than this too may be for you. Do you want to cosplay as US Army? Then it also may be for you. 320 as a platform is fine. I just bought an 5-x legion and it seems pretty spiffy overall. That being said, the most wrong thing about it is the placement of the slide catch. It is right where your hands can juuuuust interfere with it in use depending on the size of your hands and your technique. The M17 safety is behind that which seems mildly awkward for use like a 1911 where you keep your thumb on the safety in use, and seems like it would be even more ripe for interference if you didn't do that.

non-nfa ??
I will put it this way. The cheapest lawyering I have needed cost me $800 and it wasn't criminal. Nothing involving fucking up an NFA other firearm situation will cost you that little. nfa other firearms are available for less than $800. So don't be fucking stupid. There's nothing I can fathom about what you propose that could bring anything to the table remotely worth the risk.

WTB - used car for tall kid / new driver
Wranglers are not particularly good in their layout. Certain generations of it are on the short list of cars I can't actually get into and operate, and it is due to shitty steering wheel placement. Jeep renegade is great for tall people. But not cheap enough for the OP's budget.

WTB - used car for tall kid / new driver
I'm 6'7" 37" inseam. 2005 generation subaru legacy based cars are ok for driver without sunroof or with sunroof and power seats. Subaru in general puts passenger seat at max height and gives it less room. (Note VW also does the max height and less room thing). All generations of kia soul should have a bunch of room. Depending on how leggy you might get interference between right knee and center console that you might care about in a crash, but it's worth a test sit. A higher mileage 2010 or 11 should be in the budget. Roomiest car I have ever sat in? 1995 VW cabriolet. It might have had the long seat rails in, but I could put the seat far enough back that I couldn't reach the pedals. Things I fit in that are economical and possibly cheap how comfy the fit is is variable: kia soul Toyota matrix/pontiac vibe toyota camry toyota carolla pontiac grand prix 1st gen nissan murano 2005 + subaru legacy 2007+ subaru forester 2013+ nissan sentra Most Japanese sedans probably will fit depending on your opinion of if you have to drive with your knees under the middle of the steering wheel (you don't). Korean cars are similar to the Japanese ones in their approach to fitting a wide range of people. Most American vehicles prior to about ~2010 are designed like shit if you are under 5'6 and over 6'2". Some exceptions, but the majority are crap unless you are buying something from the 70s and earlier where big and boxy was in for interiors. European vehicles are a mixed bag, but mostly should be ok, and most have an option to get tall seat rails and some other OEM mods because they generally try to sell into the Scandinavian market. I will also say that for tall people, you generally want to focus on the knees for fitment, but you want to check range of motion for lateral head movement. In a real crash, yeah your knees are probably going to get fucked up, but that's not just you. A LOT of cars there's interference if your head snaps sideways, and looking at serious head and neck injuries from a 15mph parking lot collision isn't what you want. An example of things that flunk that test: 2007+ fifth gen dodge caravan and chrysler town and country. Super spacious, but just has this protrusion where the roof meets the side and will clip you in the temple in a side impact if you are tall. 2004-2013 nissan frontier. The green house slopes in, and my shoulders touch the glass, so... yeah.

Issue with my new P320 X5 Legion, Help
1st.. holy shit.. proofread what you type and take the time to type something coherent, I'm having to guess what you actually intended out of your clearly gun related but still approaching word salad in the back half post there. I'm glad to help, but there's only so much to be done without a clear description of the problem. So my best guess on translating your post into questions. 1a) You are having issues with failure to eject where some spent cases are not ejecting and remaining hooked on the extractor causing a jam when it tries to feed the next round. or possibly 1b)You are loading up. pulling the trigger, get a bang and the gun seems to cycle, but next time you get a click, clear the round and find a fired shell with no bang to go with it. SO you are getting failure to eject, failure to feed, and reinsertion of the spent round. 2) you are having issues with the slide not staying open on an empty magazine. Both versions of #1 can be caused by a bad ejector. On 320 based guns, make sure the ejector has not been bent up or otherwise damaged. It's this doohickey circled in red in the picture. If yours doesn't look like that in some way, you probably have a problem that is going to need to involve Sig CS. Both versions of #1 and #2 can be caused by the gun short stroking. Possible causes of that: a) making contact with the slide with your thumb or any other part of your hand while shooting and thus creating drag on the slide. b) Failure to properly lube the gun. You said you cleaned it, you didn't say if you lubed it, but especially with the tighter lockup of the x-fives, lube matters. c) Light loads and strong springs. If you are shooting cheap ass 115gr bulk plinking ammo, you should probably switch to the lighter of the two springs included with the gun. d) A variation on a above. Your making contact with the slide release while operating the gun. The slide release mechanism would then in turn be creating drag on the slide causing short stroking if/when you push it up, and if you are pushing down, it will prevent it holding the slide open after the last round. e) You have somehow created mechanical interference in the travel of the slide that is not permitting full travel. Like installing both recoil springs at once. I don't think this is possible and still having the gun work at all, but hey there are some impressive members of team push it harder out there. But in general check for anything mechanical that may be interfering with the full travel of the slide. f) The frames are injection molded plastic. Check that there isn't some huge chunk of flashing or piece of sprue left in place by QC people in the dust cover area dragging on the slide in use (or anywhere else, but in general with polymer guns, that's the most likely spot for something like that). g) If you are teacupping the gun and pushing up on the mag... fucking stop that. It's horrible form and can cause jams by pushing the magazine in and causing too much drag on the slide from the top round, causingslide lock prior to the last round being fired, etc. Depending on the gun in question. It's also possible to damage the ejector on the 320 by shoving the mag up into the gun too hard under certain circumstances. (i.e. slamming the mag in hard on a 21 round mag with aftermarket baseplates that don't prevent over insertion, but hey anything is possible if you are on team push it harder). If you don't know what teacupping is, here's a helpful graphic:

Time for a new mattress. a-frigging-gain.
NOTHING will last 3 decades. I mean yeah technically it will be there, but it won't be doing what you want. Even the nicest coil spring mattress is going to have issues after ~10 years. most aren't warrantied past 15-20 years, and most of those warranties, if you read the fine print, are designed to not be claimable within a year or two. I've spent till it hurt on a mattress and what I got was something that was WAAYY to heavy to move easily, and was a solid performer for about 10 years. My $0.02 on your situation: Dud mattresses are usually related to back problems. For headaches, it's usually not the mattress. It could be the pillow inducing tension headaches from aggravating your neck and/or upper back. It could also that your mattress is fine and you are experiencing sleep apnea. It will make you tired on waking, and can cause headaches. Another solid possibility is grinding your teeth. This can cause tension headaches. If you have been doing it long enough without taking steps to prevent harm, you may be causing nerve pain when grinding that results in headaches on waking. If a new memory foam mattress makes you feel better, and you can do so with a cheaper one, I'd just buy them and toss them after a few years. It's still cheaper than buying a $3k mattress that will be dead in a dozen years anyway.

So, Who Else is Quitting Tomorrow Night
Sure, seeing as how you can get it over and over and diagnostics cost a pretty penny as well as any cure would. The current treatment isn't exactly modeled on chronic care and feeding you a prescription for life. So for the most part, the economic portions of it wouldn't change much.

4473 change ...
The suicide rate for construction workers is 52.1 per 100,000 per the CDC as of 2015. Granted that is successful suicides, but the attempted suicide rate for a male to female transexual is over 50%. PERCENT. That's 1 per every 2 for male to female. For female to male, it's a bit over 41%. That aside, I'm mostly playing devils advocate. You are miserable and want to off yourself? Have at it. I think it's kind of fucked up that we demand people to extend their suffering so that society can feel better about things. That being said, the 4473 is about identification and assessment of the purchaser, and as it stands now this non-binary shit doesn't work very well for the following reason: If it is something that can be self determined, and can be changed at whim, it is useless in identifying someone. IMO rather than have non-binary, the field should be dropped because once you introduce that, it's pretty useless for identification. Given the current state of the law, and the fact the antis have put forth that unless they can get around the protection of lawful commerce in arms act to go directly against manufacturers, they will focus on using lawsuits to bankrupt dealers. This strategy exists because one of the exceptions to the lawful commerce in arms act are suits brought against the seller for negative entrustment. Since even if you can successfully argue that manufacturers are sellers, their customers are distributors and retailers, and thus not really useful for launching lawsuits. However, FFLs are retail dealers and are selling to end users. To quote the law "“the supplying of a qualified product by a seller for use by another person when the seller knows, or reasonably should know, the person to whom the product is supplied is likely to, and does, use the product in a manner involving unreasonable risk of physical injury to the person or others,” and that right there means that if someone ticks that box non-binary and identifies themselves as a member of the population with a roughly 50% attempted suicide rate, you just flipped a coin on being exposed to that exemption. As for your link, did you click through and read the more factual stuff cited in it? Because that article draws a conclusion that is not presented in most of the stuff linked. For example: 1) Sex is not genetic!!! Well, a big chunk of it is, but it also depends on environmental factor at critical stages of development. It is written to imply that this is a huge window of potential change. The reality is that absent something really exceptional, this isn't a factor post birth. 2) We've shown that there isn't a gendered brain!!! Well no. what they showed was that there is nothing int he brain that is exclusive to males or females. So unlike whatever crotch bits you ended up with, or your XX or XY situation, you can't just evaluate the brain and come to a meaningful conclusion. However, one of the studies linked sorted MtF and FtM trans people into populations based on the differences associated with various brain structures based on a sorting of one's dangly bits for those who were mentally okay with their dangly bits. Mostly what they got was inconclusive and looked more or less like. MtF trans people's brians look like male brains more than female brains. And that male homosexual brians look more like female brains than heterosexual male brains or those of MtF trans people as a whole. This doesn't mean that science has shown gender is non-binary, it's just shown that brain structure and such is proving to be less than useful for settling this argument. Which brings me back to identification, activism, and shitty people. Identification is a process that isn't trying to help or harm anyone. It's generally just trying to be accurate regardless of it's end use. That use can be identifying a corpse in a plane crash, or denying you your 2nd amendment rights, or making sure you get the most effective treatment, or just ensuring that the person who waited in line is the person who they said they are. The process of identification should not be regarded as some kind of offense because you don't like what it says. Unfortunately, that's what the LGBTQ++++ activists have decided the argument is. When in reality, the problem is that people can be shitty to other people. As a process of identification, this shit was better defined than it is now. You got born presenting as male or female, the government filed you as such, and that changed when you committed to getting a sex change operation and filling our a shit ton of paperwork. You do that and you are a MtF post-op trans person, and you check off F on the 4473. You don't cross that line, and you are a dude in a dress and you check off M. As for the person being sorted, they can either deal with that and go hmm... that's somewhat arbitrary, guess I'll move on with my life while getting what I want, or they can lose their mind that some bureaucratic form isn't capturing their precise vision of themselves. More legitimately, because of that identification, someone could be a shitty person to them because they don't like what they see sitting in front of them. Or they might do so because of what they see sitting in front of them vs. the values filled in on the form. For those inclined to such shitty behavior, what the activists have done is created a situation that can ensure that friction occurs (or can occur) with greater frequency than before. That seems like a huge victory eh?

So. If ffls are supposed to help with the number of fun deaths by suicide, and non gender confirming individuals have significantly higher rates of suicide, should they or should they not exercise discretion in selling them a gun? especially with the antis trying to bring their efforts to ban firearms by bankrupting manufacturers and retailers with lawsuits?
