That seems to be the only thing he was right about.

Welcome to the community.

If only the pro-2A community could find it in their souls to take such liberties with the truth, maybe we could make some progress. But, unfortunately (or not), our collective conscience and respect for other people, even those we disagree with, prevents us from indulging in this type of extreme and inflammatory rhetoric. And we find ourselves constantly on the defensive, thinking that just because we're right, everyone will eventually see the light. We have the moral high ground, but not much else. Apparently, CeasfirePA has an issue with the new PA Castle Doctrine law in general, and with Scott Perry in particular, comparing him to Jared Loughner and other similar sociopaths. Rep. Perry owed apology from CeasefirePA

Outstanding e-mag. Thanks for the link.

I have a Taurus, and I don't have a Ruger. As nice as the Taurus is to shoot, I wouldn't want it to be the gun I may need to save my life. Get the Ruger.

That's my point. Statistically, any cause and effect can be demonstrated and proven to be true. It may be statistically true that 99.6% of violent criminals drank milk as a child. Does that mean that drinking milk causes some wire in the brain to short out, causing a predisposition to violence? Of course not. Because 99.6% of perfectly normal, non-violent people also drank milk as a child. If you leave out the second part, the first becomes statistically true, even though it's obviously nonsense. It may be a flawed sampling, or it may just be that the people interpreting the results are ignoring the control results (regular people) to push their personal or political agendas (ban milk).

He must be convincing. He made enough during Fleet Week to support his gun habit for another year.

Nice gun, Tony. Knock 'em down and eat 'em.

The effort to move firearms regulation away from being a law enforcement/public safety issue to a public health issue has spawned a lot of false statistics and subsequent infringements (medical questionnaires asking if there are guns in the home, etc.), but this is the most egregious, slanted, and partisan piece of garbage I've seen in a while. The comments are worth reading. Gun ownership, carrying a gun linked to heavy alcohol use

I think you're right. I don't know if it's a particular mindset that draws people to both hobbies, or if it's just coincidence, but there are at least a handful of pro/semi-pro photographers here, as well as a bunch of really talented hobby shooters. I wonder if a private NJGF Flickr group would be popular. Besides the gun related stuff, people could post up anything they want to share without drawing any criticism for it not being related to the core subject of the forum. It may be worth thinking about. Would need Maks' permission... he owns "NJGF". And someone with some free time would have to administer it.

Sorry... any good ideas??

Sooo many photographers here. We should get together and do something. Any ideas?

Yeah, those. I see you did the transmitter mod on yours. I thought about it, but never really tried it. I just didn't like the setup. The PC connectors on the receivers are iffy, and the limited range is annoying. Always wanted to step up. I had a couple of Quantums for a while, but they were only useful in the studio, being way to big and heavy for location. PocketWizards are just too damn expensive for my needs. I don't really need 32 selectable channels. Let me know if you want some more of them. I have a bunch that I don't need any more. Is that a 285 in the shot? Those are my off camera light of choice. I have a bunch of them, and have been using them since the 70's. The things are workhorses.

Finally, something useful for Father's Day. Lynn and Jordan got me these really cool radio triggers for my off camera flash units. I've been needing to replace the crappy eBay triggers I've been using. I use these at work, and they're outstanding. Never fail to trigger my lights, and they're small and compact enough that I can just toss them in my camera bag. I have one transmitter and 2 receivers coming on Wednesday (the vendor is a little behind on their shipping, so I didn't have them in hand for Sunday)

Not blame, thank. I didn't care for the show. The effects were very SciFy channel in quality, and the story is just a rehash of Independence Day, War of the Worlds, Invaders From Mars, Starship Troopers, and all of other stories from that genre, with a little Predators and Alien thrown in. The characters are shallow and uninteresting. "We have to learn about them so we can kill them"... really, what an insight. "I wonder what it's thinking" "Nothing, now." Whoever wrote that should be flogged. Besides, everyone knows the way to stop a bipedal walker is to wrap a cable around its legs and trip it.

If the religious and community leaders started encouraging people to empower themselves by legally owning guns to protect their homes, and to start lobbying for relaxed carry laws and stricter punishment for gun crimes, instead of convincing everyone except the predators that guns are bad and lead to a spiral of violence we may start to see the crime rates drop in the areas where people who would most benefit from being able to defend themselves live. I suppose that's why they call them their "flocks".

Dover/Rockaway/Denville would be nice.

Mazel Tov, and congratulations to her.

Nice. The smile says it all.

Some of Jordan's ammo.

Nice photos, and really nice grips.

We were talking about a Jews v. Gentiles trap match at some point. The selected name for the Jewish team was "the Chosen Guns" The Gentiles were to be called "GO-yim!" It never came together, but I like the names.

Welcome to the group.

Happy Birthday, guys.
