Nice. They want to redefine, among other things, thumbhole stocks, barrel shrouds and muzzle brakes as evil features that "materially add to the lethality of the weapon". I wonder how long it will take for NJ to play catchup. K

I'm more disturbed by the accompanying photo. The "obvious" connection between psychotic behavior and firearms. No knives, no bludgeons, no cars, just some harmless handguns. Ken

This is the kind of "mainstream" journalism we're up against. http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/05/26/snap.moments/index.html

An otherwise law-abiding citizen who breaks a gun law is no longer such and should be treated the same as any other criminal who breaks the same law. That's how you eventually weed out the idiots who have no business having a CCW. Having such a right should come with the knowledge that you are subject to the same laws as anyone else. K

The flip side of "Shall Issue" should be the enthusiastic enforcement of current laws. That guy should go away for a long time. K

You need one with nothing on it to act as a control sample. K

In the spirit of fairness and equality, any Wiccans or Druids? Ken

I like your Mom. She seems thoughtful and adaptable. I can't even get my Mom to talk about gun rights (or state's rights, or limited government, or anything else that makes sense) without making myself believe that I was left on the doorstep as an infant. She's a supertypical Brooklyn Jewish liberal intelligentsia type (and she's surrounded by like minded people in FL) who is set in her ways and beliefs. Maybe she'll come around eventually, but I doubt it. Ken

Gee, really?? Violent criminal behavior? Imagine that. Ya mean they're not politely asking for the keys and offering to drop the former owners at their destination? They could come here... no armed citizens here, just victims. With an appreciative nod to Monty Python: "Raped, raped, beaten, raped, beaten, raped, raped, killed, beaten, raped and raped" And to Mel Brooks: Applicant: Rape, murder, arson, and rape. Hedley Lamarr: You said rape twice. Applicant: I like rape. K

Breathtakingly moving.

Good for her. What changed her mind? K

Of course. Someone has to pay retail. Ken

Wow, an impressive and surprising showing. K

Proud but non-practicing member of the tribe. Ken

Welcome.

Way to much detail.

Welcome from Sussex County.

Welcome from Sussex County.

Welcome from Sussex County. How did you manage to get through Rutgers and not become just another flaming Liberal nutjob? It must have been hell for you. Ken

I need a cigarette. K

ANTIQUES & ODDITIES I love that... sounds very theatrical. K

Max, Think about adding window stickers/decals to the list. Let me know if you need any help with this. I have a bit of experience with this sort of thing. Ken

Maybe if it works out we could have some group reloading lessons. I'd be interested in that. Reloading scares me... all that math and measuring and precision and stuff like that there. K

I believe that's the thinking behind Bam Bam's plan to have a "Civilian Defense Force" (brownshirts) that is as well trained and armed as the military and whose allegiances are sworn directly to the White House rather than to uphold and defend the Constitution. How sad is that?? We're at the point in history when we're separating the Constitution from the very entity sworn to uphold it. Be afraid. Ken

I went ahead and sent in my membership dues. I read some of their positions, and although they seem a bit strident, their perspective is one that I can personally identify with. Ken
