Why would you have a guilty conscience? How have you as a law abiding gun owner be related to the tragedy? A heinous person committed unspeakable atrocities abusing a tool that millions of people use everyday safely and responsibly occurred today. Completely unrelated to you and your gun ownership and purchases, and I pity anyone who thinks otherwise.

It appears there is unfortunately no shortage of deranged people in the world who are sick enough to go after children. Even today in China a man slashed 22 children with a knife. http://www.rediff.com/news/report/china-man-goes-on-stabbing-spree-at-school-22-kids-hurt/20121214.htm A very sad day for the victims, families, and humanity in general.

Interesting note on the AK107 found on wiki: So its not on the named ban list! edit: still have to play evil features game of course.

All this does for us is to help get rid of the argument that some courts are ruling on that Heller and McDonald only provide 2A rights within the home. This case will force SCOTUS to decide on whether or not 2A applies only in the home or also out in public. Yea sure, the founding fathers intended individual rights as stated in the second amendment they applied to the Constitution to only be allowed practiced in one's own home. <sarcasm> Once SCOTUS rules that 2A applies outside of the home, which they will if they have an ounce of dignity and respect for the Constitution, this will hopefully be the nail in the coffin for the "justifiable need" BS that we and a few other "may issue" states are using in order to illegally suppress our R2KBA.

Wow, I was following this years ago. There have been multiple rumors of companies building these in the US along with IWI but they all fell through. Now it seems that IWI is going to do it themselves. http://www.ammoland.com/2012/12/11/israel-weapon-industries-launches-operations-of-its-us-subsidiary-iwi-us-inc/ Very interesting indeed, being there aren't many "in production" bullpup rifles being made in the US at this time. Especially with the production halting of Steyr's AUG, MSAR pushing daisies, and TPD going under. FN has hung in there with the FS2K, albeit at astronomical prices.

That's complete BS. Air powered guns are federally exempted from being considered firearms. Firearms laws at the federal level (ATF) , etc do not come into play. Now here in wonderful NJ, this state DOES consider air powered guns that fit a certain definition in the statutes as firearms, completely contradicting Federal law. The federal law has been used in NJ as a defense , but of course that means you still may be arrested, and charged, etc.

I don't see a problem with seat-belt laws. Driving on public roads is a privilege. There are numerous rules and laws that you must follow in order to maintain your privilege. Just like you have to be a certain age to drive, you must have insurance, you must have a valid DL, follow traffic laws, your car must meet DOT standards, etc... just like they law may require you to wear a seatbelt. Sure it is your choice to follow the law or not, and if you choose not to wear one even though the law mandates it you risk getting a ticket. Now if the govt started telling me I needed to wear a seat-belt on my living room couch, or some other nonsense like that in my own home or property, that would be crossing the line.

Magpul also has a MOE fixed rifle stock for use with the rifle buffer tube for nearly 1/4 the price of the PRS. Of course the PRS has more to offer, but its up to you if you want to pay to play!

Thanks for the clarity, at first it seemed you were insulting anyone who had an opinion on gas system lengths. And yes I agree that its not like any length is the complete and utter win, and going with a carbine length system will not result in kittens dropping dead all over the world.

LOL , sorry about that. I'll break it down.... The NSA is recording everything that you do online, perhaps even what we are chatting back and forth in this forum about. Best you can do without digging into privacy and security technology would be to use the internet with the knowledge that everything you do while using it will be retrievable by someone somewhere in the US Govt.

IMO, if you are going to go with a Rem 700 bolt gun, I'm thinking you are going for accuracy? If so, I'd stay away from the 7.62nato milsurp for anything other then plinking or for use out of a SA military pattern rifle designed for it (DSA FAL, PTR91, M1A, etc). Keep in mind there are precision platforms based on these rifles also which would benefit from better ammo. I was told by a trusted source that most of 7.62milsurp (besides match and marksman ammo) is designed for dual purpose use in battle rifles (FAL, G3, etc) and belt fed machine guns (M240 and such). The bearing surface on the bullets is going to be smaller then a match round bullet. The purpose is to reduce wear and tear on high round count machine gun barrels. Accuracy is sacrificed when doing this. Not a big deal when hitting zombie sized targets at range, but could be a big deal when looking for sub-MOA accuracy. IMO, you will get much better satisfaction shooting heavier match grade ammo out of a .308 Rem 700. Stuff like 168gr - 175gr match bullets with quality components and powder. If you really get into it, reloading is the way to go, and is how I got into reloading. An affordable single stage press, scale, scoops, caliper, and some case prep accessories is all you need to get started. You will be able to make match grade rounds tailored to your liking for half the cost or better of match grade retail box stuff.

Welcome to the forums. Great post on the general feeling here amongst forum members and many who have yet to find NJGF. I also find myself occasionally passing through certain "lovely" areas of our fine State and feel I am the only one not armed (thus defenseless) because I follow the law whilst the rest of the populace in those places do not.

Who is insulting who here? I do not see that happening at all anywhere in any of the threads on this forum that gas length discussions have come up in. I've have never seen a post stating that someone thinks mid length gas systems are "green beret" cool or whatnot, besides your posts here. Also, who is bitter (besides you)? Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and folks here give their opinions with personal experiences when asked for them. If you want to start a new thread on how you feel AR's and gas system length concepts are irrelevant in your world besides some apparently amazing one you had in the past, you are more then welcome to.

Assume everything you do online,on your phone, or on your cellphone is being recorded and stored. Not byte by byte in many cases, but most likely the metadata and general content. Things like google search terms, forum posts, email, VOIP, IM, social media posts, websites you visit, IP's you connect to, etc not necessarily every megabyte of a new game you just downloaded, only the metadata. Currently this data is located in disparate locations across the country, on various different systems that are difficult to utilize. The new datacenter in Utah that the NSA is building will bring this all together into one place. They will be able to data-mine all of the collected data in one place, and will be able to build user profiles of every user on the internet. Your online life will be retrievable with a click. This technology has been around for years, and is available in commercial products for large enterprise companies. Applying it to the whole country is just a matter of scaling it out and $$$. The only way around it is to begin using strong communications encryption for things you want to keep private. Other options are using VPN services where all of your traffic goes out to switzerland or some other country before being re-routed back to the US and the services that you utilize on the web. The downside is in many cases high latency (slow response) and it costs money to do. Even if they do build specialized hardware that can crack AES-246 encrypted traffic, it will still take tremendous resources, and will only be reserved for high profile casework. Unless they have figured out quantum computing and haven't told anyone yet....

Buy any upper you want online, along with a NJ legal muzzle brake (aka one that is not a flash hider). If you don't have all the parts to complete a full lower, you can legally have the upper with the threaded barrel in the same place. If you do, have it shipped to a friends house who doesn't have a complete lower. Some say this is being paranoid, but I say it is playing it safe and legal. Find your nearest gunsmith that will pin the brake to your upper's barrel. Take it there, get it done, bring it home and marry to your lower. All done.

IMO, its all marketing. There is a high demand for "m4geries", AR's that look like the military M4 carbine, which is a carbine length gas system. People want what they see in the media, so when they see a middy, it doesn't look the same as the one they saw in COD, xyz movie, or the military channel. The carbine gas system also makes the rifle look smaller when it really isn't. An optical delusion.

IANAL , IMO,,, There are no "brandishing" laws in NJ that I'm aware of anyway. If anyone knows of the statute, please post it here. I do know there is a statute for Terroristic Threats (2C:12-3). Specifically subsection b. applies when using a firearm to threaten someone without justification override from the self defense statutes. When it comes to defending your property on your land, the statutes are pretty clear when it comes to using force and deadly force in 2C:3-6.

IANAL, etc... I think your plan is fine, but you would have to make the transfer of residency legitimate. If you started officially residing at your parent's house in NJ. You would need your NJDL, auto registrations, bills, file NJ income taxes, and a place in the house that shows you live there like a bed and personal belongings. You have to think of it this way.... if you ever needed to use a NJ firearm travel exemption as a defense, and one of the stipulations being used is "to and from your residence/dwelling, etc", you would have to feel confident that you can prove that you live at your parents house to the court.

Typical for the anti-gun liberals to rubberstamp themselves as being "of the people , for the people", when in reality they feel they are above the rest of us, and only want to push their socialist vitriol on the masses of sheeple and NOT themselves.

Just a part of their "investigation" process. They want to positively ID you so they know they are giving a permit/license to the right person. Since we don't have mandated national or state ID systems, your DL is the next best thing and has kinda filled that purpose for decades...

Amazing how hacking off a few inches off of a long gun barrel can land you in pound town. In trouble with both the Feds and NJ State.

I agree with others, I doubt the Japanese based their decision on whether to invade or not invade the CONUS wasn't based on how many hunters or household guns there are in the US. They wanted us to turtle up and build a defensive shell so they could exploit the western Pacific through imperialistic expansion. They would have been quite content with a "contained" USA that is too afraid to go out and bring the fight to them. Their biggest mistake was underestimating the US population's patriotism, willingness to fight, and further reversal of the popular isolationist views of the time (which were already turned around via our involvement in Europe). All that being said, if they did go forth with a full on invasion, planning would definitely involve consideration of an armed populace. As they say, its not just the weapon, but the person wielding it. Can the gun owning population of the US stand up to a full on invading professional military? That is the question. Takes much more then just having some guns, though it is a huge head start!

Oh and I would recommend a BCM upper with a 14.5" middy cozy-ed up in a DD LITE rail system. My opinion comes from my experience of owning one. I haven't done any training with it, but I can't see how it would not work in that role. http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-14-5-Mid-Length-Upper-Receiver-Daniel-Defense-p/bcm-urg-mid-14%20ddl12.htm
