Hello Everyone, I just ran across this website while trying to find out what happened today regarding the assult weapons ban hearing. They cover a lot about the US Gun Control issue. I am unsure if they viewpoint is good or bad yet I just thought that the amount of coverage was interesting. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/gun-control Timeline of the Hearing Today http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/feb/27/assault-weapon-ban-senate-hearings-live

Hello Everyone, There has certainly been a lot of activity in NJ recently relating to gun registration. My question to everyone is, what is the current status of the 20 something new bills they are trying to put through and who do we contact at this point to oppose these new bills? I have already contacted a number of people using the NRA forum when the bills were going forward in Trenton about three weeks ago but what is truly the best way to contact these representatives? If anyone could provide me with the best people to contact at this point I would appreciate it. Could someone also clarify the issue on the new magazine laws are they trying to pass a 10, 7 or 5 round cap? Thank you for your help!

Well I ended up google searching flightless birds and found a new one that I did not know existed it is called the Takahē. Its pretty cool looking! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takahe

I am getting so confused who to contact anymore! Who can I right to oppose these laws? Does anyone have their email addresses?

What about local ranges organizing bus trips to Trenton, pamplets to make people aware of the changing laws and who to contact to oppose these issues?

How many guns are you looking to store? There is a really nice Winchester safe that the tractor supply sells for around $700. It weighs around 500lbs and I have seen it in person and it is built solid. It also has pistol holders on the doors, 1/2hr fire rating and 12 bolts! All the canons I saw were kind of poorly built but they are priced nice. I hope this helps! http://www.tractorsupply.com/winchester-reg-gun-safe-24-gun-capacity-1043297

I will be screwed if this passes! All the local dealers are freaking expensive and limit the ammo to around 3 packs that like an hour at the range if that! Is it legal to buy out of state and transport it in? Also does anyone know where to send a letter to oppose this? I already sent one to the governor but just got a generic letter back. There is so much legislation going on its hard to keep track. Now they want to ban conceal carry on a federal level. When will this stop!

They are currently rationing ammo and you can only buy six boxes at a time. Could it have something to do with this? Could certain people be buying a lot of ammo at a time going against the policy? I am not sure if its store policy or some kind of agreement.

I am sure it would be fun with a full auto glock at a range!

JustJoe, Thank you for the reply. My brother went to trenton last week when they voted on all 20 something bills to pass through. Most of these laws are just stupid I think it basically makes all target shooters and sportsmens in NJ criminals since there are no grandfather laws that I know of. I hope they just do not rush there decision like they did at the last meeting. Does Christie have to allow these laws to pass?

When is this going to stop! Who should I contact to stop this stupid bill!

This might sound like a stupid question but is this for New Jersey or on a Federal level? Is this the voting for all the anti gun NJ bills?

Looks cool! Did you build it?

Not sure if this was posted yet! http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/02/gun_control_measures_approved.html

Very cool! Where did you learn to do all this? Did you attend a gunsmithing school?

How did the meeting in camden go?

Hello Everyone, I just wrote this letter and wanted to get some feedback before submitting. If I could get some input I would appreciate it! Thanks! To Whom It May Concern: I am writing in regarding to the gun Assembly Bills 3664, 3676, 3688,3659, 3666 and Senate Bill 2464 currently being introduced into New Jersey. It is my viewpoint that these bills infringe on my constitutional rights as a law abiding gun owner. As a law abiding citizen I should have the right to have more than five rounds in my magazine not only for recreational purposes such as target shooting but for the basic right of personal protection. Statistics have shown that very few criminals follow the laws when it comes to purchasing firearms and it is just stupid to think that a criminal will abide by a law such as a magazine capacity which will limit their criminal activities. New Jersey already has some of the toughest laws in the entire country and putting further restrictions on law abiding citizen is simply unnecessary. To even obtain a firearm legally as New Jersey resident we must be fingerprinted and background checked at least three times before the firearm can even be considered ours to own. Every handgun purchased must also be registered with the state and purchased from a local gun dealer. Overall with all of these restrictions in place why is it that New Jersey still has one of the highest murder rates out of the whole United States? The answer is quite simple without the means of personal everyday protect such as legally concealed carry firearm or a non lethal taser New Jersey residents are unable to protect themselves and we become victims of violent crimes. The criminals who feel they are stronger than their victims have no problems taking what they want this includes crimes such as murder, robbery, kidnapping, rape and many more. Addressing the issue of mental illness the government and/or state should have no authority to evaluate myself and/or my family members who have never been convicted or charged with a crime and have never been accused of being mentally defective. However, there are many people currently with our country who have been evacuated by psychological professionals and deemed mentally unstable since they have shown signs of mental instability. The sad issue is many times these people are simply considered the outcasts of society and instead of getting the medical help they truly need they are simply pushed off to become someone else's problem. It is this cycle which eventually leads to the types of mass shootings all too often we find filling the news broadcasts. To solve the problem with the mentally ill we must first determine if that person is a harm to themselves or others and let it be known in their public record that they have a history of mental illness and what types of medicines they are currently on and/or should be on. This should then flag them in the system preventing them from purchasing a legally owned firearm. In addition the mentally dangerous should be placed into an institution if they have an ongoing mental instability which is unable to be fixed or controlled. Simply keeping them off the streets will stop these mass shooting by the mentally ill since they are unable to obtain access to innocent victims and/or stolen firearms. Lastly I would like to address the issue of ammunition sales. I should be allowed as a Firearms ID Card holder to purchase ammunition legally from an online dealer and have it delivered to my home. Purchasing ammo online a lot more economical for target shooters who shoot a lot. Many gun deals often limited the amount of ammo you can purchase, charge huge overhead fees and often do not carry uncommon calibers. By eliminating our right to purchase ammunition from anywhere but a New Jersey owned gun dealer this is simply unacceptable! By implementing this law it makes New Jersey a monopoly on all ammo sales for its residents creating an unfair buyers market. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and I urge you to please vote against any upcoming legislation which will do nothing but further restrictions New Jersey's legal firearms owners.

If video taping is allowed I would really enjoy seeing the video of the meeting.

Thank you very much for sharing. I am drafting a letter now. Do you know who perhaps reads these letters?

According to what I heard Windham Armory is Bushmaster. About a year ago Windam Armory purchased the Bushmaster name.

Here's the thing I still rather have a gun on me than not you at least stand a chance of stopping the threat! This is also where training comes in handy target shooting is not tactical training and a responsible CCW holder should persure further training.

Thank yo everyone for your suggestions! It turns out a local gun shop had the exact model he was looking for so he ended up buying it They are saying NICS is taking about three days to get back so I guess next weekend we will go shooting, I cannot wait! http://www.ruger.com/products/sp101/index.html

Thank you everyone for the suggestions so far! My grandfather goes shooting with us fairly often and he likes semi autos but he cannot rack the slides due to hand strength. He really likes modern looking revolvers such as the new SP101 does anyone know of any place I might be able to find the one he is looking for? He also likes double actions over single action handguns and does not want the barrel to be to long.

Hello Everyone, My grandfather is a WW2 vet and is going to be purchasing his first handgun at the age of 86! He really came to likes the look of the Ruger SP-101 Model: KSP-341X. However, it is near impossible to find in stock and my local gun dealer said they are backed up until at least March. He currently has the permits to purchase the pistol and is will to consider other options. He was looking around the $700 range and wants a nice .357/.38 anyone have any suggestions?
