Crappy weather today too, glad they had a good turnout. Any tinfoil hat types want to claim that the gubberment is using weather control to dampen our pro 2A rallies? But seriously, do we think they got the 10k they were expecting to show up?

It's probably not a trap.

Symbolically, i like that more and more companies are jumping on board with this. But i do have to wonder how many municipal PDs buy $2500 1911s for their officers

It looks successful and the news report is neutral (video cut off at the end for me).

Thanks for going and contributing in a positive way, guys. The more rational we are with our arguments, the better our chances of having logic triumph over emotion.

The "hollowpoints are illegal in NJ" myth causes a lot of shops to not ship to NJ.

Oh cool. Infowars article. This should be sensible, rational and well-researched.

They updated their system a while back so you could upload your FID to be "pre-approved" for NJ shipments. I'm glad i did it, even though i wasn't intending to buy anything.

If S&W and Glock do this, the whiny bitches will file lawsuits and injunctions against them in the name of "public safety".

That's a little insane...for ban mags, right?

Because without guns, they have no argument, no substance, no reason for existing. When the Brady group and McCarthy say they don't want to outright ban guns, THEY'RE telling the truth because without guns, they have no relevance. They NEED guns and gun violence to exist for them to continue being relevant.

Thank you Vlad. Reason and rational thinking over defeatist absolutes any day.

Bah! I would've loved one of those.

Where is this shirt from??? I love the ENDO and 1791 stuff...

Even us godless heathens share this sentiment. Thank you guys for being there for those of us who can't. Genuinely, THANK YOU.

And it's still 100% illegal in NJ. There is no such thing as "parts kits" or "repair kits" for magazines in NJ. If it can be assembled into a complete 15+ magazine, then it is illegal. Period.

They announced it at SHOT Show this year. A lot of manufacturers are making 2013 the year of the AR-10.

Guys, i just went down the list and called everyone. Took 10 minutes of my time. There is no excuse not to do this.

I think the antis are getting desperate. It seems like all the even-toned, non-emotional articles (like this one) are coming from pro-gunners. The antis are still foaming at the mouth "because of the children". I'm glad to see that there are more and more mainstream articles being reasonable. Even the NY Times wrote an article about the "changing face of gun ownership" because it was about women.

It all seems a bit desperate, no? I mean if there has been such a "sea change" in support of gun control, why are they resorting to tugging on heartstrings and cheap carnival tricks? They're pushing this PR campaign hard.

Not at all, the pivot point for the sight clears it with no issues. The end of the cap is about a half inch away from it. Just a standard Insight M3X. I'm trying to justify swapping out the head for the LED version.

Taking a break from all the anxiety-inducing legislation talk, so i figured i'd post an update on the carbine. I got the Magpul XTM Hand Stop kit a couple of weeks ago and i'm getting used to it. I like it a lot more than the AFG, because i would choke up on it anyway and only use the front portion. Way better than using a vertical foregrip as a reference point. I feel like i can get closer to the bore this way and be able to control the rifle a little more. Right now, i'm running it so my support hand index finger is on the front part of hand stop, and the knife edge of my palm is resting on the rear. I'm liking it a lot, even though i'm only 100 rounds or so in on this setup.

Wait, if the Governor does NOTHING then it automatically becomes LAW?! How is THAT allowed?!?

Nope, it's just more reporting on situations that would otherwise go unnoticed. Do you remember the "Summer of the Shark"? It seemed like every beach had a swimmer get eaten, and the news had a story about another attack every day. Turns out? That summer was at or slightly below average for shark bite incidents.

[not an anti-LEO statement, i'm just being silly and framing this in the gun-control argument] If ONLY we had some common-sense police officer control. If we had background checks, mental health screenings and firearms safety training, then NO police officer would go rogue and start killing people. It's common sense, people! Oh. Wait.
