Cherry Ridge was a single shot range (100 yard rifle) when I joined.

I was thinking Obama was being reserved in his calls for new gun control, if he really wanted it he would have come out and demanded it. This article makes a very valid argument as to why Obama is being reserved.

I know I got enough ammo to last me though the latest scare. I loaded up after the last scare (in 08) calmed down, I figured that ammo is only going to go up in price whenever the economy rebounds and component prices increase. That hasn't really happened yet, but now I'm ready for this panic scare. Buy it cheap, stack it deep.

How do you know the Native Americans didn't have a "law" prohibiting foreigners from coming here? Just saying.........

We can always dream, can't we?

Although not impossible, I think a new AWB is a long shot, let alone one with a confiscation provision. Boehner said today he would hear what Biden's commission has to recommend on gun control, but wasn't indicating that he was likely to do more than that. Boehner alone can block any new gun control legislation by not posting it for a vote in the house. Then there is always SCOTUS, that could rule any ban unconstitutional.

???????? How many time zones do you think we have? - There's only 24 If I'm doing my math correctly, it's 9:30 am tomorrow on the east side of the IDL.

Mags larger than 10 rounds were also grandfathered in the 1994 Fed AWB, so if it were to be reinstated (which in my opinion is a stretch) any mags you own between 11 and 15 rounds would be grandfathered, assuming that's how they will write this new law.

What, per square foot?

I can't see the NRA rolling over on mag capacity, they have said repeatedly that 30 round AR mags would qualify as "in common use" under the Heller ruling. If they are going to concede anything (and I'm not convinced they will), it would be eliminating FTF sales or at least requiring NICS check for them. My prediction is that they are going to push for mental health care reform.

Yeah, my thought is that meds must be playing a role here. None of Lanza's mental health issues are known to cause violence in themselves.

No ban because you have a 1A right to play them. I think for the vast majority of people, violent video games will have no lasting affect on them because they can differentiate what's real and what's fantasy. The problem is with those few people who suffer from mental health issues and these video games do contribute to them to acting violently (along with many other factors). This comes down to a mental health failure.

NJ's AWB went into effect in 1991 (or 1990, I forget exactly), before the federal ban. The majority of the now illegal guns were stored (at vacation homes or at friends houses) or sold, out of state. A fair amount of people hid them in their houses, which is why you hear stories about them surfacing from time to time (you've seen the posts on here, " my dad bought this xxxxx back in 1985 can I take it to the range" or "how do I transfer this xxxxx to me"). I can't really recall anyone turning them in to the police, although it must have happened somewhere. There was no "buyback", only you woke up one morning and were now committing the NJ equivalent of a felony.

It would be the ultimate irony if "they" outlawed certain firearms and required them to be surrendered, and people stated that they had turned them in to the no questions asked, we don't check serial numbers, "buy back".

Too bad we can't get people to vote that way in the elections in NJ.

Did Greenwald mention if he was going to put a provision in the law to allow people to turn them in without the risk of being charged criminally? Under NJ's current law, if you walked into a police station with an illegal mag and wanted to surrender it, there is no mechanism for any type of immunity. Another example of NJ's ridiculous gun laws. Sweeny was on NJTV yesterday, and when asked about the CT tragedy, he stated that he is a 2A supporter, and thought that a better look at mental health issues was in order. One glimmer of hope that more BS gun laws are not very likely in NJ.

In my business, we do a lot of digging, we are required by law to call for a utilities markout before digging. This service is provided free of cost to the caller, why? because the want people to actually follow the law.

^^^^THIS^^^^ If they are going to require a NICS for all transactions, the seller should have direct access to it, or if not, your local PD should have to do it for you free of charge with reasonable daily hours of availability.

Tell that to the NJ Supreme Court, which legislated from the bench that the state MUST spend $500,000.00 on the Abbott school districts (urban poor districts) because they believe that throwing money at bad schools will give kids a better education. NJ is loaded with activist judges that have been creating their own laws for decades, that's why Christie is trying to appoint new justices to the NJ Supreme Court. Hopefully his choices are going to adhere to what judges are supposed to do, interpret the law.

I wouldn't invest to much into "Hi cap" mags for reselling purposes if I were you. The manufacturers saw the last ban coming and cranked out mags nonstop until the minute the ban went into effect. In the 10 years that law was in effect, the supply of "Hi Cap" AR and AK mags, as well as many others, never dried up. The only mags that were really valuable were some of the ones for less common guns that were never made in large quantities. The amount of standard cap mags out there now is a lot greater than last time, and passing a ban is no slam dunk for the gungrabbers, which would also have to be ruled constitutional by SCOTUS when the inevitable challenge comes - another likely place for a ban to hit a dead end.

Tittel is a douche, he's never seen a project that he could support. A few years ago when there was talk about restoring Lackawanna cutoff rail line (which is expected to relieve some traffic on route 80), he came out against it because he said it would encourage sprawl into northwestern Jersey. Well, he doesn't want people to drive either. If it were up to him, we would all be living in caves eating nut and berries, because hunting is also a no no in his utopia. Well he did get one thing correct, it's not a fee. Rather, it's a tax, calling it a penalty would imply that using a disposable shopping bag is illegal. I reuse most of these bags in one form or another if they are still intact, this is just another poorly thought out knee jerk law.

From what I heard on the news, this tax would also apply to paper bags.......

A reassessment does not increase your tax rate (which is what the 2% cap limits), rather they are increasing the value of your house and property for tax assessment purposes, which will increase the amount you pay to the town. As others have said, look into appealing your assessment, this will be worthwhile if you win.

A pre lawyerized rifle , nice score.

Legally your residence is where you are actually living, if you maintain an "apartment" at your mothers house but never actually stay there, that is not considered a legal residence. It is possible to be a resident at both locations if you stay periodically at both locations. If you are a dual resident, I don't see a problem with using the "apartment" at moms house for your ID purposes. As far as NJ goes, you will be allowed to store your firearms at any legal residence you maintain. Transporting firearms in a rental car shouldn't violate any law that I've heard of. IANAL - so consult with one to be sure.
