There was always the intention to have njShoot throw some support to the community in the form of some type of sponsorships. Interest in the whole project seems to have diminished some out in the community, so nothing concrete has happened, but this is a chance to at least do a little bit for a good cause, and maybe to resurrect some community interest... or not. At least I can say I put something back in before I get completely disenchanted and abandon the whole thing. Either way, I'm in.

Cool. We'll talk.

We are nothing if not enablers.

I'm gonna pass on the event this time, but if you do get a squad together for it, let me know. It's a good cause, and it may be a good place to start throwing in some njShoot sponsorship money. There's not a lot in the kitty, but something is better than nothing. As long as the squad has no problem wearing the hats. K

Welcome to the monkey house.

When I was a kid, we used to break paper clips in half and shoot them across the classroom with a rubber band. I guess those would be considered "assault clips" in the modern lexicon of the Bradys.

According to the letter of the law, it doesn't seem that transporting a loaded magazine in the same container as the rest of your ammo is illegal. That said, do you want to be the guy who was found with "over two dozen high capacity magazines fully loaded with lethal hollow point bullets designed to penetrate body armor and walls" just in case you find yourself in a predicament while legally traveling to or from the range? I load mine at the range.

Greetings and welcome.

Hey guys, don't use the term "high cap mags". High capacity mags are already illegal in Fortress New Jersey. For the purposes of this debate, I recommend "reduced capacity magazines" or "standard capacity magazines". All we need is a pull quote from something posted in NJ that says something like "So, if the law gets passed, what am I supposed to do with the high cap mags I have now?" It implies that we are currently breaking the law, and will make it easier to push even further reductions if the argument can be made that a substantial part of the community is already ignoring the current law. Let's be just a little aware that we're not the only ones reading this stuff.

Greetings and welcome.

It's probably also an exciting time to be: a citizen of Egypt/Libya/Greece/etc. a resident of Wisconsin a Somali pirate

That isn't even statute. It's the administrative code. It can be changed with a pen stroke by the AG.

How old is the data Bryan/the Bradys/Bloomberg/Lautenberg use?

This is a really interesting widget that takes the statistical averages for a variety of events and compares them to the statistical average of self-defense with a firearm. Really interesting. Link to self defense widget

From their perspective, that's the precise argument to ban any and all firearms with a capacity exceeding ONE ROUND. If the 10 round ban goes through, and there's another incident, the next round of restrictions will be for even lower capacities, then banning magazine capable guns in favor of revolvers, and then eventually single shots only. Then the bad guys will just have to carry multiple guns, and when a shooting happens with that, well, you get the picture.

Welcome to the group.

Why?? Are there no dangerous retired law enforcement officers? Banning passenger aircraft would do the same thing. When will people have enough of this idiot's blather?

Hey guys, My lovely wife sent me a link to this advocacy site. I don't know much about them, but their links page has a States Rights Organizations category. It may be worthwhile to try to get NJ2AS listed there. There is also a section for state news. Aitken is mentioned there, and it may be a good place to try to get some ink on whatever other projects are going on. Couldn't hurt to contact them. Take a look. If nothing else, it's a nicely designed site for firearms rights advocay. National Association for Gun Rights

I heard the Obama administration is searching far and wide to gather all of these that they can find. It sounds like something big is coming. I can't vouch for the truthiness of the description. Maybe our resident expert in odd and arcane items can chime in.

Yeah, it can only mean good things when the Kens start assembling all in one place. Hey Ken, You need to find the gun that fits and shoots well for you. There is a very basic primer here.

Welcome to the group.

That one is particularly nefarious. There's a movement in govt to move "gun violence" out from under the law enforcement umbrella and redefine it as a national health issue. That would open the doors to restricting the rights of gun owners through regulation rather than legislation. It would be bad.

I heard this on the news this morning. Very sad. RIP

Congratulations and Mazel Tov. Gotta work on her shooting form some. She shoots like Matt.

The Aitken issue should be a lesson to the entire community. As anxious as we are to see an end to capricious and confusing gun laws, and as enthusiastic as we are to point out injustices being perpetrated in the name of those very laws, we have to be very, very careful about which wagons we hitch our horses to. Thanks to our opposition, and the media, and our misguided legislature we have little enough credibility as it is. Jumping blindly into the deep end of the pool just to discover too late that it's empty will (and has) cost us dearly in public credibility and political capital. Moving forward, we need to be certain of the legitimacy of any cause we support, and we need to have some confidence that the support of that cause will benefit not only the shooting community (which frankly, nobody on the outside really gives a crap about), but the entire community of pro-freedom, pro-rights people in this state.
