Well, acceptance of gay marriage licenses was shoved down every states throats, guess what that set precedent for.......

Distributors cant get stock in, which means the lgs cant get stock in. Talking to lgs owner, he's thinking at least 7 months until the stock starts coming in. Even reloading is hard to do. Cant get primer, powder, bullets or brass. I only have about 3k of 223/556 in cans, with about 1k needing supplies to finish. Just got into 45, only have 300rds of that. Almost 3k of 22lr. I havent gone to a range in 2 months now, dont want to waste my supplies. Havent seen a case of anything since before Christmas. Doubt demand will go down until POTUS is out of office.

Wow, really? What have you seen that would give you this confidence?

Christie is not very well regarded outside the Garden State. Dont think the national GOP will hitch it's wagon to a losing proposition AGAIN (then again, third time's the charm). He is in no way a Conservative.

Yeah? Ask him what my 2nd Amendment rights mean. Betcha he sweats harder than a donut in his shadow..

From out of state, the news is that the hard hit areas still look like bombs hit them. Whats the local scoop? Also, Christie has proven time and time again to be at best a RINO, especially in regards to guns. Also, people dont forget his RNC performance where he spoke at length about Chris Christie.

Im in SW PA, Bloomsburg is considered the eastern part of PA LOL. That said, I do some work for an LGS. Ammo is on short supply for at least 6 months, 9months for powder, bullets, primer and brass. Brass has become expensive of late. At one point, 22LR was in short supply from GA to PA. At a small though very busy LGS in rural PA, there is a sign for 22LR bulk that reads: One box per Family per week. The price for the CCI bulk box is now up to $31.00 for 550ct. The pistol shelves are bare, as are the racks that held ARs. Shotguns and muzzle loaders are in good supply. Been eying an model 320 Security pump for about $220, but Ive been holding on to the cash for folding money/ammo money when it becomes available. The local Walmart has bare shelves, one or two boxes here and there. All PD ammo is gone, no 22LR. Shotgun shells are starting to go down, as are 30-30 stocks. The shortage is all over ladies and gentlemen.

If you guys are hoping on Christie, good luck with that. Outside of NJ, he's known as an Anti-2A RINO, very, very unpopular among conservative circles. People are betting he will run on a Democraptic ticket.

My Tea Party is hosting a 2A forum on Monday February 11th. Ill be bringing this issue up and see where my local rep and sheriff stand on the issue: http://www.dailyamerican.com/news/somerset/da-ot-2nd-amendment-forum-scheduled-20130201,0,1464772.story

NYT reader? Time to get a new wife, you have legal cause. Tell her SpacemanVic said so.

Wow, nothing like conditioning the sheeple. Now, just a supposition: What if someone was on the ground and armed and fired back as the choppers? Couldnt be the Fed trolling for a false flag scenario and instigate his wet dream of confiscation? Im so tired of smug looking Round Boy and cat meme. If I ever run into him, he's gonna hafta drop trow to feed that cat

The way things look, if I were you Id wait till I left the PRNJ. In PA, I can and have 6 position stock, Magpul verticle grip, 30rd PAG and Promags, open carry, CCW. AND my LGS just became a Class 3 FFL (great timing right LOL). Im saving up towards a can , then the paperwork etc. "You got a friend in Pennsylvania"

What brand AR upper did you get?

Id hate to be you guys. My local reps in PA are 2A adherents...

Thermold mags have always been crap. Youll notice on some of them it still has the old ban stamp "For military and law enforcement use only". Check the production date on them. They are thin, flimsy. You can flip the follower nearly vertical. Bought one, returned it thinking it was a defect, nope thats how they make em. Battlefield use or not, wouldnt waste the money on them.

This kind of stupidity can only be rooted out. God help us if it comes to that.....

Well, especially out in your area, recruits arent necessarily pulled from gun culture stock. And many dont become LEO because of a love of shooting, so I cant fault them, it is what it is. But if the politicians hold them out as being "experts" etc as they do in the media, then I think they should be made to spend more time on the range instead of just for qualification. The Empire State Building shooting really bares this out. Add to that the really liberally stupid NY trigger, hell just make the police wear mittens while their at it. Id wager if you asked them to recite the rules of gun safety, you'd get blank blinking stares....

I had a serpa for my Ruger P95 before I sold the whole kit to get into 1911's. I loved the serpa, thinking about getting one for my 1911. The problem was user error. Knuckle heads would depress the release button with the tip of their fingers and leave their finger there, draw the weapon and as they present, the finger would be in the trigger guard and on the trigger by default. If they were properly trained, they would instead push the release button with the pad of their fully extended trigger finger, draw the weapon and the finger would be across the slide as they present. What I didnt like about the serpa was how far that thing stuck out, even with the use of the paddle. Damn thing would always catch on the seat belt of my car and truck.

The really sad thing is, I have WAY MORE range time than most of the LEOs in the tri state area. Reloading and being a member of a private club helps

My LGS had some over the summer for about $2300. Its definitely a Buck Rogers/starship troopers kind of gun, and definitely for CQC, but I didnt like it's feel. I felt like I had to wrap myself around it and it felt "bubbly", the grip felt weird. Im wondering how slick the surface gets? Didnt care for the mushy trigger. Then again, who am I to judge? Guns are like women: one guys b*tch is another guys angel....

Looked up my old employer and found a wiki that may help explain Reed's "thinking":

Once the ball started rolling, Reed/Lexis Nexis were never known for their ability to react quickly. This blew up in their face, guaranteed they are doing damage control....

Thank you. Good luck NJ!!
