I am writing a letter with a list of reasonable pro-gun laws along the lines as I posted above. Lets see if it gets anywhere.

I do this all the time when my clients get sued, I have counter sued on the tiniest technicalities & brought motions ad-naseum for costs. It works and it lets some attorneys know we will fight for years and make the cost exorbitant If you are on your heels defending, the antis have nothing to lose, whatever they settle for, is a win. We need to start pushing back. Whenever they mention anything, we want: -a complete overhaul to the permit system, eliminating waits. - when they ask for a 10 round mag, we ask for a 20. -an end to gun free school zones -national right to carry -the elimination of justifiable need -castle doctrine/stand your ground laws -NJ should allow suppressors and other prohibited items I have been trying to think of ways to help without destroying my time with my family, but it looks like the fight will be in the legislatures rather than the courts for some time.

I never email the governor and I just did. A. over the comment. Obama can mention his kids and use children as props but the NRA cant? B. Saying his AG picks were anti 2A C. Not only should be there be no more guns laws, we should have the right to carru D. He is starting to look like a RINO to me.

I was thinking of signing up about 5 friends who are too cheap and just paying for them.

I would settle for a burst mode and I would like that to be legal. I figure in a bad situation, my 1st shot will probably be my best so I would like it to be decisive.

Scalia has a "heart attack" After hearing Obama lie constantly, I dont doubt he would try something like that.

Thats what I said, its a semi-auto ban that jumps through hoops to get there so they dont have to ban semi-auto by name. I wish New Yorkers cared and had the stones to stand up against this BS.

10 firearm limit per household ?????????? May have an equal protection argument there. Single guy can have ten but a married couple is also limited to ten. Seems like you are prejudicing individuals based on marital status.

Great video, Parker, I never saw that. Good response by Remington. I dont trust any NBC newscast after the BS recently.

No offense if you are a member of the Plaintiff's bar and I started out doing some of it, but once you get sued for something frivolous or see clients/friends spend thousands to fight BS lawsuits, it is tough to like the Plaintiff's bar (esp as they heavily contribute to democrats) Until I can sue a Plaintiff and his attorney when they file a garbage action, the system is doesnt work. I am sure we both have war stories that would make the other see our point. I am glad I asked the question, surprised at the range of answers.

Supposedly they filed suits in a few different states, I guess they are finally coming to NJ. I think its headed by the woman that shot their kid in Montana. I also think their is a difference between being the named plaintiff and a participant.

Candide hit the nail on the head, I am a lawyer, but I dont like the Plaintiff's bar and consider them ambulance chasers. James Bod: There is no slanders or anything else, I know the process and what they will do. Its just stating facts about what happened and I have told 50 people already including people on this board. And we dont all blow, like I said I am not doing it because I dont believe in suing gun companies and I have also done some Pro Bono to help guys out with their FIDs.

Bought bolt action, Flipped safety off, gun fired. No one hurt because I was following all the rules. I think manufacturer knew there was an issue but it was in so few guns, it wasnt worth making a hub-bub. They replaced the firing mechanism, but I dont even think I put 100 rounds through it, just didnt feel comfortable with it after that.

I actually answered my own question while typing this. I had an issue with a gun misfire years ago and got a call from an attorney asking me questions about it. Fast forward 3 years later, it turns out that they want to file a class action and want me to be the plaintiff. No work and put a few dollars in my pocket. I obviously have an issue with suing a gun manufacturer (Forget it, question answered) Curious, I am not going to do it but would anyone do it?

You should have just told her to shut up and make you a sandwich.

Of course a General wants the civilian populence unarmed, it makes the country easier to conquer. I know cops that want to ban civilian ownership. People dont mind guns if they are the only people with them. No one likes a fair fight.

Barbiero is up for re-election in 2013 and I will actively campaign against any RINO. The issue is that MAIG isnt an issue to beat him on in any primary and may let the democrat win.

The people will take all the BS they give us unless it is outright confiscation. Every one has something they will say they will value more than their gun rights, most will say "I have children and a wife" The world is going down a shitty trail to a socialized global urban waste. People wont think about losing their guns until they really need them. Remember Sandy when everyone was looking for guns/ammo?

You hit the nail on the head. This is right out of Rules for Radicals, the left's playbook. You ask for the moon, sun and stars, when you deserve nothing and when you compromise on the moon, you have won half of what you wanted for no reason. It is also covered by "dont let a crisis go to waste" We should not give a single inch.

Did anyone see the max magazine size bill was 5?!? WTF

Fat and dumb in no way to go through life Angelica.

No excuse.

I missed this sorry if a repost. I wont be supporting Barbiero in Parsippany because of his membership and it already takes 4-6 months for a handgun permit. Below is a letter sent by Mayors Against Illegal Guns to President Barack Obama Dec. 19. Dear President Obama, On Friday, Dec. 14 the entire nation watched as parents stood outside the Sandy Hook Elementary School and waited, desperately hoping to be reunited with their children. That moment will never end for the families of the 20 children and six adults who were murdered that day at the school. As mayors, we are charged with keeping our communities safe. But too many of us have sat with mothers and fathers of children killed with guns. Twenty-four children enrolled in public schools in your hometown of Chicago were shot to death just last year. At the moving memorial service on Sunday evening, you said: “If there is even one step we can take to save another child or another parent or another town from the grief that has visited Tucson and Aurora and Oak Creek and Newtown and communities from Columbine to Blacksburg before that — then surely we have an obligation to try.” Our bipartisan coalition of more than 750 mayors has joined forces with over 700,000 Americans and more than 100 survivors of deadly shootings, including the mass shootings you mentioned in your remarks. Together, we urge you to put forward an agenda that is rooted in common sense and that will make it harder for dangerous people to possess guns, and easier for police and prosecutors to crack down on them. That agenda should: Require every gun buyer to pass a criminal background check. Background checks are the only systematic way to stop felons, domestic abusers and other dangerous people from buying firearms. These checks are instantaneous and highly effective. Since its inception, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) has blocked firearms purchases at licensed dealerships by millions of individuals who are barred by federal law from owning them. But criminals and other prohibited purchasers avoid these checks by buying firearms, including online and at gun shows, from unlicensed “private sellers” who are not required by federal law to conduct the checks.Millions of gun sales — estimated at more than 40 percent of the U.S. annual total — are conducted through private sellers. The Fix Gun Checks Act (H.R.1781 / S.436) would close this enormous gap in our laws by requiring a criminal background check for every gun sale. Get high capacity rifles and ammunition magazines off our streets. Military-style weapons and high capacity ammunition magazines have no appropriate civilian or sporting function. They are designed to kill large numbers of people quickly. They are also disproportionately used to kill law enforcement officers. Approximately one out of five law enforcement officers slain in the line of duty is killed with assault weapons. The time has come to review the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 and draft a new law that is clear and enforceable and will take these weapons out of our communities. Make gun trafficking a federal crime. Today, there is no clear and effective statute making gun trafficking a crime. Prosecutors are instead forced to rely on a weak law prohibiting engaging in the business of selling guns without a federal license, which carries the same punishment as trafficking chicken or livestock. As a result, according to the Justice Department’s inspector general, U.S. attorneys decline to prosecute 25 percent of those cases while declining only nine percent of drug conspiracy cases. Mayors Against Illegal Guns supports proposals to empower law enforcement to investigate and prosecute straw purchasers, gun traffickers and their entire criminal networks. Those ideas require action by Congress, but there are steps you and your Administration could and should take immediately to curb gun violence: Appoint an ATF director. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the federal agency responsible for enforcing our gun laws, has gone without a confirmed director for more than six years. During that time, criminals and those with serious mental illness have been able to take advantage of insufficient enforcement of existing federal gun laws, and an estimated 72,000 Americans have been murdered with guns. In 2011, for the first time in over a decade, more police officers were shot to death in the line of duty than were killed in automobile accidents. The need for leadership at the ATF has never been more urgent. The time has come for you to make a recess appointment to fill the vacancy at the top of the ATF. Prosecute prohibited purchasers who attempt to buy firearms, ammunition or high-capacity magazines. The Justice Department should vigorously prosecute felons and other prohibited purchasers who fail gun background checks. In 2009, the Federal Bureau of Investigation referred more than 71,000 such cases to ATF, but U.S. attorneys ultimately prosecuted only 77 of them. Prosecuting these offenders is a goal broadly supported by our coalition and the National Rifle Association. The department should also develop a mechanism for sharing NICS denial information with local and state law enforcement officials by sending them active alerts or, at a minimum, posting the information at the National Criminal Information Center so state and local law enforcement officials can access it during investigations. Require federal agencies to report records to NICS. The NICS Improvement Act of 2007 requires federal agencies to submit mental health, substance abuse and other records that prohibit a person from owning a gun to NICS. However, few agencies comply. In October 2011, the FBI provided data to MAIG on reporting by 60 federal agencies. Of those 60 agencies, 52 had given zero mental health records to NICS. Although total federal agency reporting of mental health records increased by 10 percent between March and October 2011, to 143,579, the vast majority of those records had been submitted by one agency, the Department of Veterans Affairs. Even fewer federal agencies are reporting drug abusers. Only three agencies — the FBI, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Court Services and Offenders Supervision Agency (CSOSA), the probation and parole services agency for the District of Columbia — have submitted any substance abuse records, and the vast majority of federal agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration, have not submitted a single substance abuse record. The president should issue an executive order requiring all federal agency heads to certify twice annually, in writing, to the U.S. attorney general that their agency has submitted all relevant records to NICS. Repeal remaining Tiahrt restrictions. While Mayors Against Illegal Guns and our law enforcement allies have made progress in relaxing the “Tiahrt restrictions,” which are riders to the federal budget that restrict access to federal gun data, some still remain. These remaining restrictions keep the public, particularly researchers and elected officials, in the dark about gun traffickers — specifically, who they are and how they operate. It also requires the FBI to destroy records of approved NICS background checks within 24 hours. That makes it harder to detect law-breaking dealers who fake their records, or to identify straw buyers who undergo the checks on behalf of someone who couldn’t pass. The Tiahrt Amendments also say ATF can’t require dealers to inspect their inventory, which could reduce the tens of thousands of guns that go missing or are stolen each year. Finally, the police and other law enforcement agencies that get trace data can’t use it in license revocation proceedings or in civil litigation. The administration should repeal these restrictions in its next budget. In the past few days, the American people came together in a national outpouring of grief and sympathy for the families of victims slain in the mass shooting in Newtown. We share in that grief. But our constituents are also outraged and looking for leadership from the White House. We look forward to working with you to find a solution to gun violence in our country.

I was looking for the Devils to have a down year after losing their captain so I was ok with the season being as short as possible. We need ownership to make some money in NJ.

Pretty straight forward with some good info.
