Uhh that ATF letter is missing any statement that the steel core is greater than 25% of the projectile weight.

Well, specifically gut the laws? Not likely. Gut essentially all of NJ laws? Possibly. Primarily due to the fact that NJ law operates from the assumption that exercising the 2nd amendment is illegal, and then carves out exceptions to that, thus forcing an affirmative defense to exercise an enumerated, incorporated right. This is not generally accepted for an incorporated right. They might address this directly, but I doubt it. If they were to step beyond the narrow question at all, my suspicion given their statements of not wanting to have every technicality be a scotus issue, is that they may very well set forth a more specific legal test. So far, every anti ruling has pushed the limits of intermediate scrutiny specified in heller. Drake doesn't even pretend to rise to the level of intermediate scrutiny. Depending on what kind of test they spell out, it could imperil a lot of anti laws like the various AWBs or mag capacity limits, for NJ a well spelled out test placing the level of scrutiny at the high end of the intermediate level could make every nj law challengable based on how the law is constructed. That doesn't mean the net affect wouldn't pass scrutiny, just that if it breaks the root of nj gun law that the 2nd is illegal to exercise EXCEPT... The entire nj gun laws will have to go back to the drawing board.

Well it may not be Dick's inventory, perhaps they had to justify inventory with the bound book for BATFE/NJ. I can see the way big box retail organizes their FFL and the way they staff the gun counter leading to everything being shoved in the safe and locking out the pink card people.

Really, cause I suspect you will see lots of training of trainers unless being blessed as sufficiently credentialed is overly complicated. Heck, even then, it might be more likely with grass roots pushing to make flaming hoops an easily ticked box on a form.

Because you'd have to take up the case with someone charged with a felony. It was passed before heller in a state with no rkba in the constitution. So people complied and you can't come up with an aggrieved class without bringing up folks who have been charged, which is less than desirable.

What I find funny is that if you go read news sources on the left, common core is an evil corporate plot by the textbook oligopoly to automate education and eliminate teachers and the NEA. Seems nobody likes it.

The appeal process happens again. Back to scotus you go. And they said they don't want that. Our circuit pissed all over their previous rulings on the subject, so why would they listen to this one unless they get pretty explicit about their intent. Which is why I don't expect any ruling to be minimal. I expect there will be some significant clarification on scrutiny if not an explicit test proposed for future determination, as well as spelling out where the line is for who may be prohibited and how. Unless the antis have the majority or the pro judges have to compromise tho get a pro majority. The third circuit was willing to toss the foundation of most civil rights decisions to back the government's right to say no to guns, so who knows how it will break.

Don't trust goa to tell the truth when inflammatory half truths will do. 7n6 is banned from import. That doesn't mean copper washed steel jacketed will be. Much like there are 7.62x39 pistols, and plenty of copper washed steel foreign ammo. 7n6 is penetrator core stuff like 855 is for 5.56

Well if you can't get it, don't inventory it. Still have the gun. Pre-panic, the industry was making over 1 billion rounds of it a year. It's out there someplace, so it is one of the more likely cartridges to run into, kind of like 9mm and .223. Also, if times get that tight, scarce or not, cheap or not, if it comes to putting food on the table without attracting too much attention, .22 beats a lot of the more available stuff.

I think if it is taken, and even if it is surgically applied, if we don't lose, self-defense will have to be sufficient in terms of need. I don't see it being that surgical, as they are just begging for administrative details to keep coming back,. and they don't want to be hearing those cases. Some of the worst case outcomes if we win would be declaring open carry legal, but charging everyone who does with disturbing the peace. Which would require another go-round which likely would not be heard. ANoither would be exorbitant fees, or providing a non-discretionary checklist that includes something absurd like having the consent of everyone in your home, your employer, etc., or never having a moving violation. All of which can be shot down, and in other circuits would be, but the 2nd seems to be mentally deficient and rather unconcerned with how their judgments are perceived by their peers.

Ihope only because you like gen 2. They will continue as the MOE mags if I understand the press releases correctly, and the moe will be black only I believe. The Gen3 mags will be in colors.

Well first thing I would expect form them is a gross attempt to limit where you can carry, basically resulting in zero places you can carry, and carving out exceptions from that for the special people. I don't expect them to go quietly. The part we as NJians should be most concerned about if the case is heard is how specific they are in pre-empting regulatroy BS. They have made it clear they don't want it coming to them for every regulatory detail, and we are in 3, which seems to be in la-la land in terms of anything they disagree with politically, so I'm not expecting much protection form them unless SCOTUS tears them a new one wide and deep.

Let's put it this way, if they don't hear drake it's because the antis have the votes to win and choose not to. If they won't hear this one, we probably don't want them hearing those either.

The legal translation is "liar liar pants on fire". Followed up by "You going to let them disrespect you like that? Because if you do you really aren't in charge of much of anything. " As for hearing the case, I think the only way that won't happen is if the antis have enough votes to win, but think peruta will be overturned by an en banc hearing in the 9th and feel that mid-term backlash will be contained because California will be blamed rather than the federal government. I don't think that is realistic though. Either the pro side has the votes and will make it heard, or the anti side has the votes and will make it heard. The arguments made don't really mean that much. They are mostly an opportunity to make the argument you made better than at the lower court. From that perspective, I'd say out side gets a better grade in general, but most specifically in stating that in the face of conflict between the constitution and legislation, courts should be deferential to the legislators. That's basically saying the judicial branch should go home and retire en mass. If the antis have the votes, they will essentially have to create the legal reasoning from whole cloth for our AG.

IMO, own something that can shoot the popular stuff, but choose .22lr, a primary pistol cartridge and rifle cartridge to inventory.

Keep in mind that rule is old. The 5-7 day estimate has been around since I was a kid. Several decades later with just in time inventories, I don't know if it is true anymore. Also if note, from the same era the estimate for NYC was 2-3 days.

Except that is where the movie starts. The thing about the road is that it's non-specific teotwawki has the net result of eliminating any functioning ecology. You can't bug out or bug in, it's just what you do until the bitter end if the world.

Except it doesn't. They have done exit polling, and virtually nobody comes out as an anti-gun single issue voter. If it is based on anything, it isn't about rallying support at the polls on that issue alone. Heck, they can't make people join their anti groups for free. I've also had this discussion with very left leaning people who are anti-gun, but it really doesn't seem to make it to the level of contributing to decision making.

IMO I think the answer to that is easy. There are lots of RKBA folks out there trying to stir stuff up against the current administration. I think it is a sign that RKBA is getting better at activism, but a lot of our risk is looking forward at potential pitfalls and hidden attacks and misuse, so you get something like this that can become very speculative very fast, especialy on the heels of the ares armor thing.

I thought that meant that Carol and Tyrese were there, but it appears like it isn't.

Most expensive is about $1800 least expensive was about $658, but I'd have a hard time reproducing that price. Everything was on sale, used, bought form someone who won it at a match, blemished, or some other thing that caused it to be discounted significantly.

It's a messy area. ARe you ate risk of going to jail, I doubt it. Are you at risk of having to mount a defense? Probably. I know a batch of saiga-12s went out that did not have long enough barrels. They actually got sold through. BATF did not go kicking down doors of people over it. My guess is they won't over this either. I mean, the thing was illegal to manufacture and transfer technically, but nobody ever made an administrative ruling about it until now. You can own firearms without a serial number, so I'm not sure what illegal act you are engaging in as long as there is no transfer. A recall with amatched number repalcement would probably be vaild, as would permitting owners to destroy their lowers.

Interesting. I had to resort to telling them it was magic after they wouldn't accept I have no idea as an answer.

Actually risk to reward is whoever gets stuck doing deposits for retail locations. A former girlfriend of mine was an assistant manager of a decently busy mall store. Depending on the time of year the bag had between $7500 and $52000. No FBI involved, no security to speak of. Just the unlucky schmuck walking to their car, driving to the bank, and car to bank. Especially in nj, most you wind up with is someone following them to the deposit.

Hmm I'm wondering if the spinoff is going to be based on the hunters. Apparently the showrunner for it is the same guy that did sons of anarchy.
