My brother had a psych eval before being hired and sent to the academy.

Short of a Supreme Court decision, how else could the words "keep and bear" and "arms" be clarified to reach the Founders' original intentions and not be subject to the anti's intentional misinterpretations?

I just worry that at this point we are relying on the courts to "interpret" the amendment, and they seem to like to leave a lot of wiggle room in there for themselves, not to mention we have to worry about Obama's next activist appointments.

To normal, intelligent people, nothing. But unfortunately our government is instead run by politicians.

My thought was to specifically allow things the antis are claiming the 2nd Amendment doesn't apply to, such as carrying

My understanding is that 2/3 of the states can call a Constitutional Convention to propose a new amendment, which then must be voted for by 3/4 of the states. Could this be done to strengthen the 2nd Amendment, bypassing the Federal government entirely? It would seem like there might be enough pro-gun sentiment in the country, with most states being pro 2nd Amendment outside of the big cities.

Shall not be infringed

I wonder if there are enough pro-gun states to pass a Constitutional amendment strengthening the 2nd Amendment.

The court will have a field day with them after the last ruling

I'm somewhat of the belief that changes in NJ gun laws will happen at the federal level through legislation and the courts, not voluntarily.

Pretty awesome of the pilots! Imagine if they dropped down, grabbed the plane, and kept going, haha.

I guess they aren't too familiar with Juan Williams' political leanings...

Thanks! Custom 24

Mine holds 13+1. Justified...

What if you assume he is not an NJ resident at the time, but is an NC resident? I'm assuming he is buying in NC as an NC resident, and not an NJ resident buying in NC. That makes the question can you legally buy a gun FTF in NC from an NC resident as an NJ resident. I didn't think that long guns had the same restrictions about the transfers occuring between residents.

I have a box of them and leave one sitting on my desk just because it is so absurdly huge. Someday I will have something to shoot them...

Where is .50bmg prohibited?

I haven't made any decisions. I thought this was a forum for discussing NJ gun laws and I was describing a situation that I believe would fit within the legal confines of the law. I thought it would be interesting to see other people's opinions on it. I appreciate the vote of confidence though...

I definitely agree. I like to stay just to the right side of the way it is. NJ wants to play their game and I will do my best to beat them at it whenever possible.

Between 3 and 12 miles out is federal waters. As long as the manufacturing occurs there it is in US territory and not smuggling. I'm not sure where substandard quality fits in. I have the proper dies for bending the receivers, so the quality should be right up there with most any other sheet metal receiver out there.

It would have a serial number, just no record of it otherwise. Since there is no mandatory registration of long arms this shouldn't pose a problem. Aside from them not liking it I don't know what sort of legal angle they could use. As long as it is complaint with both federal and NJ laws it would be no different than my Nodak Spud rifle.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I just meant that I was offshore far enough often enough where it would be possible to do so out of NJ territory. I have a window between 3 and 12 miles out where federal law will be happy too. Conveniently there is an artificial reef about 4 miles out we fish at a lot which would be a convenient place to work, haha.

Bending a pre-stamped receiver flat doesn't require a machine shop, it requires a few jigs and a method of pressing the receiver through the jig. As far as they are concerned, once bent it is a firearm. The welding of the rails could be done later on land. As far as the BATF is concerned, this is from their website: As far as I can tell, it's not required, but still a good idea to serialize the receiver. I'd be only bending receivers to spend $12 for a flat rather than $110+ per Nodak Spud receiver and transfer, and to screw "the man" as far as NJ is concerned. I have all the tooling to do it because I had purchased it before I realized how much NJ laws don't align with federal laws, so I'd like to at least make some use of it.

I agree, but in federal waters I don't have to worry about the laws of other states, haha. As it is at least several times a year I'm out 80+ miles offshore, so if I could use a few c-clamps to substitute for the hydraulic press it would be a relatively compact way of doing things. Technically once the main bend is done it might be complete enough to do any finishing work back on land too.
