Old Glock guy

Even Corey Booker has acknowledged that legal gun owners are not the problem, that they are rarely, if ever, involved in shootings. According to him, it's the illegal guns that are the plague of his city. As for the motives of anti-gun legislators, I don't know if they are well-intended, but misguided; whether they are just seeking easy, but meaningless measures to make it look like they are doing something about gun violence; or if they are truly aiming to disarm the populace. I suspect the truth is some combination of those.

Bingo! The letter is so over the top, that I thought this was fairly obvious.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Nice! The thugs looked like the Three Stooges as they raced to get out the door.

And it certainly helps them that the media are all to eager to advance their agenda, referring to new proposals to restrict gun owners' rights as "reasonable" and "common sense."

What's up with Cryan? He sounds like a man obsessed with controlling gun owners. Where is he from?

I thought it was a pretty good turnout today, despite the bone chilling wet weather. I was disappointed to not run into more of my NJGF buddies. We probably should have figured out some way to identify each other, or have designated a place to meet.

Does it start up again this Sunday?

How does a moron like that get a public forum???

If I could get a CCW permit, I might consider becoming a teacher. I've already had plenty of weapons training.

Holy crap! NY, NJ and CA are involved in an escalating game of one upsmanship! And worse, none of it makes any sense.

I have found that to be completely true. I can not tell you how many people I have heard say something like, "I'm in favor of the Second Amendment, but nobody needs to own an assault rifle." The say it because it's what they hear in all the media, even though most of them have no idea what an "assault rifle/weapon" really is.

Genewarper111, thanks for your reply. The website shows a date of 4/6 for Defensive Shotgun 1, but I still can't find anything for DS2.

I agree with you that the frenzy seems to be slowing a bit, but I've heard that it could be 6-12 months or more before things return to normal, depending of course on what happens with all the pending legislation.

Greetings, also from Passaic County (Wayne). Are you coming to the rally in Trenton tomorrow?

I heard someone say once, "Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience." BTW, good to see Debbie Halvorson breaking away from those morons.

Hey Cameron, any word on when this might be rescheduled?

Well now I'm glad I asked, because I always assumed (incorrectly) that it was something like that.

I guess I've been lucky, because I've rarely had to wait for long. I must admit that I have mostly avoided the weekends. Having been a member there since they opened, a little over a year ago, I'm a bit embarrassed to just be asking this question, but what do the letters "RTSP" stand for?

Didn't mean to rain on your parade (or worse). That is indeed heartening news. It's just that we are all reminding ourselves to remain vigilant, because the fight is far from over.

I was about to respond, but I could not have said that better than you did. From following the situation closely in print and electronic media, it looks like we will probably dodge another all-out AWB, but universal background checks will become the law. Mag capacity limits are probably around 50-50. But that's just on the national level. We still have a slew of new proposals to fight here in NJ. I hope everyone is still coming out for the rally this Friday.

Why don't those comments get more attention from the mainstream media? Oh, never mind!

I thought it was just me that guessed that was written in code.

Indeed, good group here. I have gained an immense amount of knowledge in the nearly two years that I have spent perusing this board.

Pines Lake here. And unfortunately, I'll be on the Montville bus, which seemed easier from here.
