Old Glock guy

And yet another item on my growing list for when I leave NJ!

Sadly, it's hard to disagree with that.

Wow, best 2A news I've heard in a long time! But yes, I'm sure many of us had that same reaction.

Goes on all the time: "More Mexicans are leaving our country than are coming in." "Illegal aliens commit less crime than native-born citizens." "Illegal aliens put more money into our economy than they take out of it/pay more money in taxes than they receive in benefits." "More illegal aliens are here by overstaying their visas than by sneaking across our southern border." And on and on...

I have the Spyderco system as well. Seems to work OK, but I don't have the attention span to spend more than a couple of minutes per blade. Fifteen to twenty swipes on each side with the coarse and fine rods, and I'm done. Don't know if the knife is really done at that point, but I am.

Greetings from your neighbor here in northern Wayne. I'm up in Pompton Lakes a lot for stores, bars and restaurants, and running. I'm not a hunter, but I enjoying putting a lot of lead downrange.

That's a real shame, because that's my favorite beer.

I guess they believe that if they don't exist in their country, people won't be able to obtain them, legally or illegally. I notice that they have dropped that whole "weapons of war" canard and have just gone for all semi-autos. Wonder how long it takes for them to take that approach here,

I don't know that particular guy, but we've all run into someone like that at one time or another. Many years ago I used to work with a woman who put out a lot of stuff that just wasn't true. I liked to refer to her as "Miss Information."

That prime minister is a fine looking lady, but then that's my shallow side coming out once again.

I love both of those as well. The XD mod. 2 9mm SC is my regular carry gun (when I'm out of NJ). I find both of them to be very similar to Glocks, but the XD has a grip safety, which I feel gives me an extra level of security in the unlikely event that anything snags in the trigger guard when holstering it.

I totally agree with this. Love the G19, but I end up shooting the G34 a lot more. (Despite my screen name, I only own five Glocks, although I'm thinking seriously about adding the new G17.)

Seems like this thread should have been over right here... But this was pretty funny.

Looks like they are already planning a ban on semi-autos: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/16/jacinda-ardern-urged-to-act-quickly-ban-semi-automatic-weapons Without a 2A. they can just go ahead and ban guns all at once, without having to deal with the pesky incrementalism that burdens our left.

So another 30 days this gets set back. In 60 days or so, I'll be 67. I'm running out of time for this. The right to gay marriage, which is not mentioned in the Constitution, was approved by SCOTUS under "equal protection," because some states allowed it and some didn't. Can someone explain to me how 2A rights, which are specifically enumerated in the Bill of Rights, should be viewed any differently?

Please don't make me read that whole thing. Give me a brief summary. Something about registering firearms? What is its status? Is it a proposal, or is it about to be signed into law?

Can't we get some good oppo research on the people sponsoring these bills?

Pretty awful in general, but I would be willing to pay $400 for a carry permit if I could get one. If Murphy really wants to increase revenue, he should give serious thought to making them available at that price. Yes, it's a Constitutional right, but once they acknowledge that we have a right to defend ourselves, we can negotiate the fee at a later time.

Yes, hard to get a read on him. He's hardly the strict orginalist that we had hoped he would be. He twisted himself in knots to hold up Obamacare. I'm glad you asked, as I had noticed the same thing, but didn't really care enough to think to ask about it.

He puts out some interesting videos and seems like a good guy. Anyone here train with him at Valor Ridge?

I've done a lot of reading, and have stashed some supplies, enough so thaat most people would probably think of me as a "Prepper" (if they knew about it, which of course they don't). But I am hard-pressed to find the time and energy to get through all that material to get ready for something that is extremely unlikely to happen in my lifetime. I'd rather be out shooting!

Sadly, it's awfully hard to disagree with this.

Yes, I believe they and other companies that won't ship to NJ believe it's just not worth the bother.

Looks like Young and Old agree on this!

I don't see much point in contacting our Dem reps. They will just ignore us, and vote the party line. FWIW, our senators are useless as well. Republicans in NJ have virtually no voice (although there is still one Republican rep. left, for now).
