yeah, you can buy a suppressor in the UK, you just can't own a gun to attach it to.

They might've gone about this the wrong way, (and I might be biased as a fellow IBMer), but this woman's been on leave for depression for 18 months and I can't help but feel she was taking advantage.

I am almost 100% sure that shipping ammo though USPS is illegal. Nope, it's 100% legal, though the NRA and others suggest you use UPS.

Yeah, it was a blast, no pun intended. You guys were as nice & friendly as I'd expected (and hoped). :clap:

I don't think there's any way around him NOT facing a court martial; he was a soldier who killed other soldiers on a base. I'd think he could face treason (in a time of war) charges, which certainly carries death penalty consequences. In addition, this took place in TX where they don't listen to the politically correct left. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't burn for this.

matt6669, are you a member there? I think someone needs to be a member. I assume you are, just making sure...

I plan to go next weekend, there's a planned event: http://www.njgunforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3755&p=44772

I think I read that we might get a deal on the lowers kit also, but I'm looking for the rest of the AR kit (stock/barrel/etc)

I'm afraid I still don't understand why they hate out culture. They can disagree with it, but why can't they live & let live? I'm told that Muslims preach peace, much in the way Christians, and most other religions, do. I get that there's history here, but carrying out attacks like this won't change that. more of the same...

OK, I'm in for one. Anyone have a suggestion on a kit to go along with this? http://www.mapartsinc.com/ has them for about $500, not sure if that's a good deal or what.

As it turns out, I'm more PC than I'd like to admit. I composed a message yesterday, on this thread, wondering (aloud) if there's a Muslim tie-in here strictly based on the shooter's name. At first, when I heard his name, they started with Major and I said 'wow, a Major?', then they followed with his name and I said 'oh, ok, makes sense now', but I decided not to post the message because, hey, maybe it's just coincidence, and I don't want to come off as anti-Muslim. Then this morning there are reports from the soldiers on the scene saying he was yelling 'Allahu Akbar'. Well, there goes American-Muslim relations - again.

Couple follow ups - bottom line is he was up for re-election and got the boot and the cop is back on the job. Some sanity in this otherwise crazy story. :clap: Follow up #1 Follow up #2

Is that common? I was talking to a woman who's a shooter here in NJ and she said something similar, that retailers make her feel like a criminal when buying ammo because they don't trust you to take it to the register, but when I went to Dick's a couple days back, I took my ammo from the hunting area (upstairs, rear of the store) down to the register as did another customer. Only person that got escorted was a guy buying a shotgun.

Perhaps this is a dead topic, in that ammo seems to be plentiful now, but I was at Dick's in Rockaway yesterday and they had all flavors (as far as I could tell) in stock. Paid $15/50 for Remington 9mm, which is neither great nor terrible.

The vote's pretty evenly split at this point - 12 people for North, 11 for South. Would it make sense to have 2 groups then? One up North, one down South?

best line: "the mayor is conducting the investigation into any wrongdoing" right...

I'm in

I've been to Bullethole, $13/hr or like $7.50 or so for half hour. I'm applying to Riverdale range, though it's private (no per hour charges). Not sure how far that is from you.

Shongums's annual dues are $175 plus 7% tax ($187.25). I'm applying to the Riverdale Police Pistol Range which is roughly the same. Not sure if that's a lot or not. If you're talking about the 775 to 825, I'm pretty sure he meant they're expanding the membership count, i.e. from 775 members to now 825 members total.

AZ - we go there every year, just waiting fot the kid to graduate HS next year.

Yeah that's always a classic. What do you shoot an armor piercing rifle out of anyway - a bazooka? surely when they say 'gun loving' that's supposed to mean 'he's crazy' I love my gun and, to the best of my knowledge, I'm not crazy.

Went there for the first time today and it's posted on the door into the range as well. Still, curious as to why. I would understand if they said no flash though.

You've got your #'s a little skewed, but the point is the same. The #'s you quoted are for females only. When you add the males, it's more like 50.6 for Japan, 21.7 for US and 36.5 for Swiss (per 100k). In fact, of the WHO list, we're #57 out of 100 (higher the ranking, higher the # of suicides). The countries with more suicides than us include Canada, France, Germany, Japan and Sweden. Oh, and highest, at least according to the WHO list, is Lithuania with 91.7/100k. Japan took 90th place.

ah, so you're 'almost' famous - got it.
