Most I know seem to think that what goes for Arizona goes for New Jersey. Understanding states laws is unheard of.

It sounds to me like the person was referencing Mr Evans from "The Hucksters." As if to say many people were repeating the same thing over and over. Wait for it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds to me like some one is making a joke about making a bill to confiscate and then someone laughs.

Considering all the testimony from people that showed up preceding those comments I think it is very disturbing. Either all that testimony gave the wrong impression or they didn't hear a word of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A battle buddy sent this to me via Facebook. I am not going t o claim that this has much bearing on me due to my experience in the war, but it hits close to home for a lot of people I was deployed with. 10 THINGS YOUR COMBAT VET WANTS YOU TO KNOW 1. He is addicted to war, although he loves you. War is horrible, but there is nothing like a life-and-death fight to make you feel truly alive. The adrenaline rush is tremendous, and can never be replaced. Succeeding in combat defines a warrior, places him in a brotherhood where he is always welcome and understood. The civilian world has its adrenaline junkies as well; just ask any retired firefighter, police officer, or emergency room staff if they miss it. 2. Living for you is harder. It would be easy for him to die for you because he loves you. Living for you, which is what you actually want, is harder for him. It is even harder for him if you are smart and do not need him to rescue you, since rescuing is something he does really well. If you are very competent at many things, he may at times question if you need him at all. He may not see that you stay with him as a conscious choice. 3. “The training kicks in” means something very different to him. It is direct battle doctrine that when ambushed by a superior force, the correct response is “Apply maximum firepower and break contact.” A warrior has to be able to respond to threat with minimal time pondering choices. While this is life-saving in combat, it is not helpful in the much slower-paced civilian world. A better rule in the civilian world would be to give a reaction proportionate to the provocation. Small provocation, small response (but this could get you killed on the battlefield). When the training becomes second nature, a warrior might take any adrenaline rush as a cue to “apply maximum firepower.” This can become particularly unfortunate if someone starts to cry. Tears are unbearable to him; they create explosive emotions in him that can be difficult for him to control. Unfortunately, that can lead to a warrior responding to strong waves of guilt by applying more “maximum firepower” on friends, family, or unfortunate strangers. 4. He is afraid to get attached to anyone because he has learned that the people you love get killed, and he cannot face that pain again. He may make an exception for his children (because they cannot divorce him), but that will be instinctual and he will probably not be able to explain his actions. 5. He knows the military exists for a reason. The sad fact is that a military exists ultimately to kill people and break things. This was true of our beloved “Greatest Generation” warriors of WWII, and it remains true to this day. Technically, your warrior may well be a killer, as are his friends. He may have a hard time seeing that this does not make him a murderer. Although they may look similar at first glance, he is a sheepdog protecting the herd, not a wolf trying to destroy it. The emotional side of killing in combat is complex. He may not know how to feel about what he’s seen or done, and he may not expect his feelings to change over time. Warriors can experiences moments of profound guilt, shame, and self-hatred. He may have experienced a momentary elation at “scoring one for the good guys,” then been horrified that he celebrated killing a human being. He may view himself as a monster for having those emotions, or for having gotten used to killing because it happened often. I can personally recommend 'On Killing' by Dave Grossman. 6. He’s had to cultivate explosive anger in order to survive in combat. 7. He may have been only nineteen when he first had to make a life and death decision for someone else. What kind of skills does a nineteen-year-old have to deal with that kind of responsibility? One of my veterans put it this way: “You want to know what frightening is? It’s a nineteen-year-old boy who’s had a sip of that power over life and death that war gives you. It’s a boy who, despite all the things he’s been taught, knows that he likes it. It’s a nineteen-year-old who’s just lost a friend, and is angry and scared, and determined that some *%#& is gonna pay. To this day, the thought of that boy can wake me from a sound sleep and leave me staring at the ceiling.” 8. He may believe that he’s the only one who feels this way; eventually he may realize that at least other combat vets understand. On some level, he doesn’t want you to understand, because that would mean you had shared his most horrible experience, and he wants someone to remain innocent. 9. He doesn’t understand that you have a mama bear inside of you, that probably any of us could kill in defense of someone if we needed to. Imagine your reaction if someone pointed a weapon at your child. Would it change your reaction if a child pointed a weapon at your child? 10. When you don’t understand, he needs you to give him the benefit of the doubt. He needs you also to realize that his issues really aren’t about you, although you may step in them sometimes. Truly, the last thing he wants is for you to become a casualty of his war. The Battle Buddy Foundation exists to serve our veterans suffering the 'invisible wounds' of war, Post Traumatic Stress, and Traumatic Brain Injury. Our next mission at The Battle Buddy Foundation is our Program for PTSD Service Dogs to provide the veterans who need them. These well trained service dogs will be working to provide the same healing power through these PTSD Service Dogs work, that I have experienced firsthand with Atlas. Join us in our battle, and help us accomplish this mission! The Battle Buddy Foundation is registered with the Ohio Sec. Of State and our 501©3 status is pending. We need YOUR help to make this happen! http://kennys.battle...njured-veterans Donations can be mailed to: 8859 Cincinnati-Dayton Rd Suite 202 Olde West Chester, Oh 45069 LIKE/SHARE

Some of you might not find this stuff funny. If not I appologize in advance. LGBT photobombing the Westboro Baptist church protests.

refreshing!

NJ national guard frequently get deployed to bridges and tunnels. This is not a combat deployedment and the tax benefits are not part of a stateside deployment. Condsider that. You could be called to stand in Penn Station at teh pay rate of a private. Would that help your current career or financial situation?

He's just pissed everyone calls him Adolph.

Truth: I worked in advertising for 16 years. 8 exactly on Madison Avenue. The thing about this video, from experience now, is the following: The creative team and agency likely did it pro bono. The creative team and agency sell all kinds of garbage to people that will kill them The creative team and agency have a nagging, irrepressible urge to do "good" in the face of all of the crap they do The creative team and agency jump at the chance to do something seen as positive. The creative team and agency are brilliant sales people In contrast Pro gun videos are: Paid for by a gun manufacturer and star R. Lee Ermey Made by an interested art student that doesn't really know how to make an award winning edit. Guided by Wayne LaPierre and his God like vision of how things should be presented. Seriously, does "looks like some one picked the wrong..." hit the home run that this video does? Nope. It's cheesy. What seriously bugs me is that I work in the industry and go shooting with a lot of people that make the TV you watch. Somehow that talent is never asked to produce.

I gotta tell you, this is brilliant in execution. That is where the anti-gun liberals have us. When all the pro gun talking points can come to a video as simple as this we stop looking silly.

I'd say they were training. There is a war on.

So true. This could be a bad start to the year. Once in and started it could happen anywhere. In Israel the busses, instead of large events, are common targets. If it goes to that... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't know PETN from acetone whatever, But all of the controlled explosions I have seen of c4 on captured artillery shells were black and dark grey smoke. The IEDs that went off on convoy were either too far away or it was too dark to see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh. Great. This story gets better and better.

Most recent reports say initial police testing shows there was no "high grade explosives" used.

"No one cares"? Please modify that post. That's stupid.

Um, that NY post link says 12 killed?
