Hey everybody. I don't want this to be a political thread, but after the shooting that happened yesterday and all the knee-jerk reactions I've been seeing, I've had a knee jerk reaction of my own. I figure it's as good a time as ever to finally pick up an AR. Now, I am an absolute noob when it comes to ARs. I checked out the sticky, and while building my own from parts of my choosing would be cool, it sounds a little... intimidating. lol. I'm not entirely opposed to learning, however. There are just a few stipulations I have: 1. Performance: I'm not looking for an uber engine of efficiency and accuracy. Something that goes bang everytime I pull the trigger and is fairly accurate out to whatever the norm is for 5.56 would be nice. 2. Price: The cheaper the better! Well, I don't want a pile of crap, but I'm not really looking to spend over $1k at the moment. The cheapest I can get for the performance I'm looking for above would be ideal. That's all folks. Feel free to recommend parts kits, completed ARs, uppers and lowers, or what have you.

What in the hell was he trying to do there?

OH LAWD. You'd think I was still on dial-up or something.

OH LAWDY. I can't tell who's trolling who in this thread!

I'm hispanic, so I expect to be fully exempt from being called a terrorist. ...Well, they'll probably call me a cartel-employed drug dealer instead. At least I get guns from the government, right? Eat your heart out, CMP!

Hell yeah! Happy fourth everyone!

The law was enacted ten years ago, and NJIT said they'd have it up and running in two years. rofl

I like the fingerless hobo-style gloves myself, if only because I don't like sweat getting all over my stuff if I'm shooting a lot. It doesn't really matter what you wear to the range. If people want to criticize you, tell them to deal with it. Hell, show up with an AR with my little pony furniture on it if you want. If someone doesn't like it, tell them to suck it. ...Not that I'd reccommend getting one of those. Hell, I'd probably laugh. :laugh:

I read a few pages of it. They referred to NJ's gun laws as a "careful grid." I'd like to see what would happen to one of them if they couldn't get an FPID or CCW license and their lives were in danger.

I heard a rumor that they might be doing some stuff on youtube as well, like removing adsense revenue from gun channels and marking all videos with firearms as 18 and up. Just a rumor as of right now, I haven't seen any credible reports about it yet.

I refuse to use twitter on the basis that is essentially Facebook minus everything except status updates.

You don't need to do anything really. Just apply for a change of address on your FPID at your new town's PD.

Oh my god, I can't stop laughing.

See guys, only police should have guns because blahblah training and blahblah moral superiority and blahblah uncorruptibility!

Sounds like that dude jacked your gat, yo. What exactly did you order? Maybe he thinks it's super nice and has just been fondling it for the past 2 weeks.

One guy got threatened, kidnapped twice, and beaten half to death, and NJ didn't give him a CCW permit until he became a plaintiff in a case against the state for its incredibly arbitrary selection process, and even then that was only to ruin his claim in the case. You have literally zero chance of getting one.

The problem with this is defining "frivolous." Yes, there are people who file absolutely idiotic suits (like I believe the mall knifing one to be), but not all lawsuits are going to be found to be without merit. Then of course, if you have a law in place to stop lawsuits like this, what is to stop some judge with a political agenda from throwing cases out of court by labeling them as "frivolous," and then forcing a person who may have had a legitimate case to pay a hell of a lot of legal fees for the town? Yeah, it sucks that things like this have to back up the legal system, but that's the nature of the beast. If you want a (somewhat) fair legal system, things like this need to continue to happen until we invent some kind of super intelligence that can instantly and impartially rule on these kinds of things.

Oh god, please be an awesome range when you finally get built. It'll be like ten minutes from me!

Wow, that is just shameful. I can understand if it was a traumatic event, but honestly going after the people who helped is bs.

Pelosi is such a f'ing tool. She's probably got her panties in a bunch because she thought Mr. Holder would come out clean. Glad to see she respects the lives that those agents had to lose over this bs. :mad:

Does this mean he is obligated to turn them over?

That first link says it's illegal to brandish or discharge a firearm... So... let's say a bear decides I'm lunch. It's okay to have the gun with me, but if I take it out and shoot it, I'll go to jail? Uh......

I couldn't read that without my blood boiling. And besides, Pascrell also openly opposed the reciprocity bill, so it isn't like we even moved up a step.

#8. Please, once you are comfortable with firearms, do not bring your girlfriend/little brother/scrawny toothpick of a friend to the range and hand them something big just to screw with them and/or get a laugh out of it. Not only does it make you look like a douche, but they could drop that really nice $1000 .44 magnum you just handed them. And please, don't condone that crap if you see it happening on the range and they're being unsafe (or if they're being unsafe about anything, really). Only you can prevent range douchebags.
