Because most people are hypocrites, whether on the left or the right. They invoke "rights" for things they like, "sensible regulation" for things they don't. Simple as that.

I think a Supreme Court ruling that says an individual constitutional right applies everywhere in the US would be a good thing for RKBA supporters. "But our town / county / city /state is special" is horseshit.

Interesting, because in the recent case in federal appeals court regarding Chicago's ban on gun ranges, they ruled that a municipality CANNOT ban the excersise of a constitutionally protected right simply becuase you can go to another juristiction. I'd like this to go to the Supreme Court. The idea that the US Constitution is somehow voidable based on your locality violates the entire reason for a Federal constitution.

They are probably not permitted to require that from you. As with all things, you need to decide if this particular infringment is worth making an issue out of.

SIG introduced a "new" pistol by adding bold new graphics to an existing model? Say it ain't so! Next up, the Sig 1911 Rainbow edition.

All steel Springfields, includig those hand made in their custom shop, begin with frames forged by Imbel in Brazil. Higher end models are finished and fitted in the US. Not sure about their aluminum framed guns.

Those videos Vlad posted on the benefits of a high thumbs grip are right on. Works great on a 1911, Glock or M&P. However for some pistols like SIGs or H&K P30 t will cause the right hand thumb to contact the slide release lever and causing the slide to fail lo lock back. On my P229 I simply position my right thumb on top of my left thumb. Try this article with Brian Enos and Dave Sevigny. It gives a better picture from differnt angles. Of course, you need to modify the grip to accomodate the Sig's slide stop lever. http://www.handgunsmag.com/2010/09/24/tactics_training_combatg_100306/

Strange, NJ's strict laws did not seem to prevent criminals from getting guns. Perhaps if we make the laws more tough by adding some additional forms to complete when applying for a permit, and limiting handguns to 1 every 2 months.

Glock 21R revolver, for sure

Just call Dawson. Tell them how far off the POI is and they will tell you the correct sight. If you bought the sights directly from them they will send you the corect one for free. Even if you did not buy directly from them I bet they will work something out for you. Their customer service is superb.

For crap's sake people, does anyone seriously beleive that in a life and death situation where someone legitimately has to use force to defend themselves an their home, that they would actually be charged with an illegal transfer? For fucks sake there are enough real issues to consider without making up boogeyman fairytales. If your home defense plan in any way involves stopping to check the legalities of whose gun is whose, then you are way way off base. And here's some more news for you. Unless you are paying him a retainer, Evan Nappen is not your lawyer. He is selling books.

The purpose of the law is to harrass legal gun owners and make life as difficult as possible for them in order to discourage legal firearm ownership. Therefore it is indeed common sense given the intended goal.

Urban legend debunked time and time again.

I'm a member at Tenafly. I never realized how much Filipinos like guns until I joined the club.

My range is 90% fat middle aged white guys and fat middle aged Filipinos.

An adjustable stock is more important to you than the ability to perform a quick magazine change?

No. A handgun is illegal everywhere unless you are within the specific exemptions, ie directly from home to range, to gun shop, etc. A friend's house is not one of those exemptions.

Once you get into quality parts from Brown, Wilson Bulletproof, EGW, etc, it's all about the skill of the gunsmith and how much time he spends properly fitting the parts.

Personal opinion, I just think subjectively that the P229 is better balanced than the P226, just like many prefer the Glock 19 over the 17. People get hung up on desiring a longer barrel for the increased velocity and site radius but for me the shorter barrel just points better.

My defense guns get cleaned after every use so they are always in top readiness condition. Range guns maybe every thousand rounds, with some additional lube along the way.

Here you go http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/legis/2003c73.pdf "There shall be no conditions or requirements added to the form or content of the application, or required by the licensing authority for the issuance of a permit or identification card, other than those that are specifically set forth in this chapter"

Give them a copy of the statute that prohibits any additional requirements for a permit, and ask them to initial each line.

There are some funky looking AR stocks that are designed to not be a pistol grip. I have no idea if these are OK in NJ, or if it's really even worth the wierdness. .

The people get the government they deserve. However, none of them would be in office if your fellow citizens did not elect them, or get appointed by those we elected. Politicians have one talent: to know what the people want so they can get elected. If the citizens of NJ actually believed in the 2A then the governor, state legislature etc. would smell that in a second and do / say whatever is necessary to get elected. I know it is comforting to believe that if we could only throw the bums out everything would be great, but the sad truth is 2A rights are disrespected in NJ by the people. New Jerseyans tend to have little real exposure to firearms and so what little they know they learned from movies, video games, and gang reports on the news. Attitudes like that don't change quickly. This is why I believe our only hope is through Federal court not rooted in Northeastern ignorance, and possibly through a long long period of education and acclamation so your neighbors no longer associate "gun" with "nut."
