For those upset with the fact that the use or purchase of marijuana makes it illegal to purchase a firearm it has nothing to do with NJ law. It is federal law and if you decide to lie on the 4473 form when purchasing a firearm and get pulled over with pot and guns in your car you may end up in jail. Its not worth doing.

I always hear complaints from gun owners about proposed anti-gun bills in Trenton but most of these people do nothing.. IMO, we do have a chance to modify the most draconian proposed laws that will be voted on soon. IF YOU CARE get off of your butt and down to Trenton NJ for the meeting by the war memorial next Monday morning beginning at 9AM. We need to send a message that our constitutional rights shall not be violated. The march should draw 1000's and many patriotic groups will be there. Join in or be prepared to lose whatever rights you have left.

Folks the only hope that we have is to elect Donald Trump as president. The supreme court will have many vacancies in the next few years. Only then we will have a pro-2nd amendment Supreme Court that can overturn some of NJ draconian gun control laws. NJ gun laws need to be challenged and with the current make up of Weinberg comrades Bryer, Ginsberg, Kagen, & Sotomoyer this is not possible yet.

Flash suppressors should be legal in NJ. Flash hiders are not. In other words if you can't see the muzzle flash in the dark it is a flash hider. If the flash is there but even less than before it is a legal flash suppressor. The FSC 556 should be legal. As for bayonets; if you could figure out a way to clip a bayonet on to your lug free rifle, it is legal. I've seen bayonets that contain a self contained clip on mechanism that can attach to an AR rifle with a muzzle brake but never pursued getting one as I don't need an attachable bayonet.

Years back you could buy a new Norinco SKS rifle for about $125.00 and an AK style (Mac 90) rifle for $275. The Democrats and Republican George Bush forced though an import ban by executive order and now they are prohibited from importation. Recently Norinco came out with an all new bull pup .223/5.56 rifle called the T97 that is getting rave reviews in Canada where it is legal. No such luck here in the USA. Maybe this is good for the US gun manufacturers but I would like to see the T97 built here. If Trump is elected expect the gun laws to be fairer that with the Communist that we now have in office.

My scope of choice for an AR type rifle at a reasonable price is the Nikon P223 3x power. Very bright , clear sight picture, minimal parallax, good focus and it holds zero like a rock. About $200 with the Nikon P223 offset rings. Really outstanding scope for the money. As for the Barska they have many shortfalls like a narrow field of view and many of them do not hold zero well. Its a cheaply made lower priced Chinese optic so you cannot expect much.

Here is the real situation. When Christie leaves office we will most likely have a liberal Democrat governor, a liberal assembly and house. They will not only push though a magazine ban but they will try to jam the NY SAFE act up our ass. The only hope is that Donald Trump or Ted Cruz is elected and they appoint a constitutional conservative supreme court. Then the unconstitutional NJ and NY gun laws can be challenged and overturned. If far left Hillary or Communist Bernie is elected all is lost and I mean everywhere not just NJ. Meanwhile be prepared to be classified as a felon but since the police all own firearms,and many are Oath Keepers perhaps they will be sympathetic, stand down and refuse to obey illegal and unconstitutional laws as the sheriffs are in most of NY State.

The NJ law allows some semi-auto rifles to be sold not on the named banned list and without the features that we all are aware of. The NY SAFE act bans all semi-auto rifles with a pistol grip, as if the grip really make the rifle more dangerous. That has created some very weird looking AR type rifles with snake like fixed stocks. They are so dam ugly but legal. The left wing politicians in that state were successful in making legal semi autos ugly. If Donald Trump is elected and fills the Supreme Court with Conservative judges, it will provide the only opportunity for the NY safe act to be overturned. If Hillary is elected the game is over!!!!

Just for info on semiautomatics with a pistol grip: Must not be on the ban list of specifically banned models, have fixed or pinned butt stock, no bayonet lug, no threaded barrel and no flash hider. Magazine limit is 15 rds. You can use a permanently attached (pin and/or welded on} muzzle brake but the criteria is normally that the opening on the end must be bore size or close to it. If you are challenged by the system for not using a proper muzzle brake, it is up to the prosecutor to test and prove that your muzzle device is not a flash hider. I have not heard of an instance where this has been done. The NJ law on semi-auto rifles is certainly restrictive and unlike the NY or CT SAFE acts many semi-auto rifles are allowed. In those states you cannot even have a pistol grip which has led to some very weird looking AR rifles with a snake like fixed stock. I predict that the SAFE act will be introduced as legislation after Chris Christie leaves office next year. Its going to be hard to stop it.

Tactical Training is a large brand new facility. It probably cost a couple of million just to renovate the building that they are in. The membership prices reflect this but there are many ranges in PA just 50-70 miles away that you can join for a year for $30 or $40 . So the question is; does it pay to shoot at TTC and pay $25 for a one hour session or drive and spend the same for a yearly membership. The price of gas has come down so it would seem to pay to go over the border to shoot and enjoy 100 or 200 yd practice but on occasion I will use TTC as it saves a couple of hours of driving. BTW, even with the seemingly high membership prices TTC is currently SOLD OUT. They are located in a wealthy NJ county so that may explain it. The memberships start at $195/yr.

The hope for restoring the second amendment in NJ lies with a supreme court challenge but if a Democrat Communist is elected president in 2016. this all goes down the drain. The next president will probably appoint 4 supreme court justices so this is the most important election in our history. Meanwhile NJ has a ban on magazines over 15 rounds but any size mag is available just over the PA border. The Democrats can ban anything that they like but I believe that many patriotic second amendment supporters in this state are refusing to obey illegal and unconstitutional laws.

Just to inform an hourly rate of $25 seems to be the going rate at all the NJ indoor ranges open to the public. Whether it be RTSP, in Dover, Gun for Hire in Woodland Park or Tactical Training in Flemington, its the same. The rate seems high but the cost of maintaining a large ultra modern facility like TTC has got to be very high. Consider the electric bill, the heating bill on that place has got to be huge, then add it taxes, employee salaries, maintenance and insurance. In view of this, the $25/hr rate seems fair. You can shoot a lot of ammo in an hour.

Newark and all the other inner cities are created by government by one party for votes. They want high crime, they want despair, they want poor education for the children as they step in with more empty promises that only cause greater dependency. Government is not their friend and maybe by some miracle the city people will realize it one day. I feel sorry for the great majority of the good people in Newark that have to put up with this, but they need to wake up and realize one day that eliminating crime is up to them. When seconds count the police are minutes away and sometimes more than that.

Firearm Specialties, Hillsborough, NJ should be added to the list: 908-369-7034 $35 transfer fee + $15.00 NJ NICS (7% NJ sales tax on the fees only) Free storage for 30 days pending pick up.

Just to give everyone a heads up; the Tactical Training Center in Flemington, NJ has finally opened. It is a large modern indoor facility with a huge rifle and pistol range. Another place in Hunterdon County for gun owners to practice.

No recall has ever succeeded in NJ. The recall of Sweeney was an ill conceived idea that had no chance of success. As for NJ politics; they are controlled by the population centers of Patterson, Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, and Camden, The people in those cities look to government for their total existence and are trained to pull the lever to the left. Add in a large percentage of idealistic white liberals, as those in Princeton, and you end up with the one party socialist system that we have here in NJ. To further aggravate the situation, government, both national and local ,has done every thing in its power to destroy the blue collar industrial base. Those jobs are now in China courtesy of BOTH parties. This leaves the honest decent NJ gun owner with a bad situation. We cannot win here when Christie is gone. The only way to fight unjust draconian gun laws in NJ is to eventually take the argument to the supreme court, but with the death of Scalia and the 2016 presidential election in the balance, this will be an unanswered question until election day.

If there is only one threaded screw hole in the buffer tube you can just screw the stock in place and it should be legal . The state police defines "permanent" as needing a tool or tools to undue the change. In the case of the stock, If it can only go on one way its legal and not a folding stock.

I have been very involved in the gun lobby here in NJ over the years. With the far left politicians that we have, we have little chance of stopping a SAFE act here once "Fidel" Sweeney becomes governor. The legislatures goal is to take everyone's guns away but they just won't say it that way. The lie and just take our constitutional rights away bit by bit. The only hope is for Trump or a strong 2nd amendment person to be elected president. This election is it. If Hillary or Bernie gets in there will be no more second amendment. The next president will appoint 4 or 5 justices to the Supreme Court. With constitutional jurists unconstitutional laws like the safe act can be taken there and overturned. Meanwhile encourage law enforcement to disobey illegal laws and illegal orders. Those guys have hi-cap magas and semi-auto rifles as well as everyone else. All people in uniform take an oath to support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. They must keep that oath and be reminded to do so. There are also 800,000 gun owners in NJ. If they voted there would be no problem but they don't. Dennis LaGrua NJ Oath Keepers

As long as they do not specifically have AR-15 stamped on the receiver all civilan type sporter rifes are legal provided that they do not have a flash hider, folding stock, threaded barrel, bayonet lug, attached bi-pod The Bushmasters, DPMS, and Colts in this form are all legal. The requirement has resulted in some rifes being shipped with Muzzle brakes. The problem is that on some Colt rifes the pin used to retain the muzzle brake sometimes shears and the brake flys off. This can be fixed by installing a new retaining pin and using some JB Weld expoxy to hold the brake in place.
