Post a link to this stupidity. I'll run around posting on other forums....

I used to work for Reed-Elsevier in New Providence. While they are a huge company, the exhibitions cost money to setup, and in turn make alot of money. For them to have to cancel the ESOS and now have NSSF looking to other management for the SHOT show, has cost and will cost them alot of money. Someone in corporate has lost their job(s). Like I said, waning influence of the FUDD gun owner. Now onto Congress....

It's interesting. I left The Garden State a while ago, and came back on here to gauge the tenor of NJ gun enthusiasts. Im finding that the acceptance of the assault weapons ban as well as the Democratic party influence is very telling. Ive yet to go to other NE corridor gun forum to make this a valid point, but from what I've read here, I dont see things much different than what the metrosexuals of their day expressed at the outbreak of the American Revolution, which makes me question my initial assumption. Many areas of NJ were Tory strongholds, as was NYC. I dont think guns were as much in vogue in these areas then much like now, and there wasnt a Democrat party to influence. So, could it be the comfort of an urban area, or the mercantile class (in this case higher income) makes a population more accepting of authoritarian rule so as long as their comfort level isnt affected? Im seeing a defeatist attitude being expressed here ensconced in a perceived "reality". Outside of the NJ bubble, 2A is doing VERY well, and Im beginning to think that an assault on 2A may very well be viewed for what it is: a blatant power grab. We've got the futility of the 84 gun ban's influence on crime statistics to illustrate that gun control, doesnt work, so there is precedent to say to the gun grabbers, NO. It's also interesting that there are a few here that are espousing the idea to go to the table and talk to the gun grabbers and "compromise". It's only a compromise if BOTH parties give and take. Historically speaking, 2A adherents have gotten very little in return for past compromises to the Gun Grabbers, so why should today be any different? Compromise? No. To do so would only serve to further erode our rights (just ask NY state). Gun grabbers are punks, thugs. Giving a thug anything is like feeding a stray dog: they come back for more.

I shoulda put sarcasm tags on my post....

Nice try at rewriting history Joe!

Absolutely. There is no way an untrained farmer or broken down veteran can stand up to a world class trained warrior.

Here's the thing: they are still crafting the conversation since they now see an outright ban on firearms may not be as possible as they thought. They are looking for avenues that may be acceptable to the public. They will only succeed IF we continue to allow them to do. That he now mentions "assault" magazines instead of rifles should in no way be viewed as "encouraging". Instead, it should be viewed as a new avenue from which the gun grabbers intend to attack. They are emboldened in this action because certain states acquiesced to magazine restrictions; they are hoping to emulate this stupidity to the other states.

Really? Just give 'em YOUR damn guns already. He aims for your nuts but he slugs your gut, that a good thing?

Already inna woods in the SW PA mountains. Food/water stocked, reloadin' ammo like it's Pez.

Go to Ruger.com, they have an online app, allows you to send email to ALL your reps dependent on your zip code in one fell swoop. You can even unselect people you dont want to get your email. I let it ride, sent OhBlowMe an email too.

Id rather have a 1x8 or 1x7 twist though.......

Have bought from these guys http://www.jsesurplus.com/, they are gtg.

I went with a drop in CMC trigger FCG. 3.5 lb trigger pull, very fast reset with nothing to adjust. A great article describing the different FCG that are out there: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_12/366464_Trigger_Fire_Control_Groups_tested_and_evaluated___the_and_34_BESTand_34__trigger_for_you___.html

Prices I think will go back down should this blow over, but I dont think we will see the prices we saw last year, unless alot of panic buyers have buyers remorse and flood the market with used guns.

Stear clear of Roggio lowers. Low out of spec junk. Do a search for them, lots of neg feedback on Arfcom and M4carbine.net from people who bought them. Roggio went out of business around 09 but still keep a website up using stock photos. http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=80130

'Bout time 2A found it's nuts and said enough is enough. Could it be the diminishing influence of Fudds in gun circles?

Man, I thought the 10 minute wait for a NICS check in PA was bad. Since this rush, the wait has almost doubled to 30 minutes. Still, I see firearm, I do PICS/NICS and leave the store same day with my purchase. Wonder if NJ will ever evolve from their archaic gun rules.....

ROTFLMFAO!!! Hague's Indoor Range nuckin futz? $2k for a $750 rifle?!? Well, if the right sucker comes around.....

Actually, before all the open gun control talk, manufacturers had trouble keeping up with demand. I waited a year for a Ruger 1911 before pulling the trigger on a Rock Island Armory Tactical 1911 and a ton of ammo, extra magazines, holster for EDC and mag pouches. As the election got closer, buying became a frenzy, and the supply line was strained. Ive been waiting for a 16.5" BCM upper for almost a year. Now that a lot of schmuck Fudds are running around desperate for anything that resembles an AR or AK and jacking up the prices on full rifles and parts two to three times pre-rush prices, we can expect a longer wait. I heard on the radio show Guntalk that manufacturers such as Remington, DPMS, Bushmaster, Spikes etc are saying that they have a backlog of at least a year to 16 months. The owner of Brownells went on to say that they are seeing a year wait on parts, 9 months or so on magazines (even their own). They are even having trouble getting mags from as far away as Israel. When a builder (Troy) did ramp up production to meet demand from seller Dicks, they got spanked when Dick's decided to live up to their namesake and discontinue AR sales. Id blame the shortage on the run OhBlowMe created, rather than production capability.

I picked up a RIA 1911 Tactical 45 for $425 OTD at my LGS. What did Sarcos want? I did get some nice checkered walnut grips from Sarco for the 1911 though, cost $13.00. Before AFTER Sarco still has the storage in Stirling, but the store is in PA now.

Well, midterm elections are coming up. If we see the House go (D), there will be no check in place to stop the Executive branch from exerting it's will. Lets not even mention that OhBlowMe has the potential opportunity to name a Justice or two. Should that occur, what recourse does the American public have left?

Alex Jones is his worst enemy. He might have some info, but it's so wrapped up in the crazy you really have to dig to find it.

Post an address and a phone number for this cache. Im now in SW PA, no reloading supplies available. My LGS owner is also claiming that 22LR cannot be had from PA on down to Georgia. Not finding 22LR in Wallyworld, surrounding LGS and sporting goods stores, I believe him. Gun ban by proxy

Yup, one and the same. Oh, and the same police who initially reported it was just 2 pistols used.
