I do find it funny that gun owners object to the notion that we're a bunch of xenophobic middle-class white men with racist tendencies, and yet we can't get through this thread and discuss WHAT Ice-T said, and instead get hung up on him being, "a gangsta-a**" which, of course, has no racist connotations at all.

Also nowadays I think "Made in Japan" is a sign of quality. China makes all the crap, along with India, and I can't really speak to the quality of American goods since I rarely encounter them lol.

Personally I blame the baby boomers. The greatest generation screwed up raising them pretty bad, and then the boomers screwed up my generation.

I prefer FTF deals honestly, so I'm not helping with the number despite the fact I'm liable to buy 3 guns before the year is out haha.

That's sort of a fallacy, it won't go the speed of light. As an object with mass approaches the speed of light it starts to expand until it was the size of the universe. I also believe that objects going that speed give off massive amounts of radiation, but I'd have to check that.

None of my stuff is in a safe. It's all hidden.

http://www.newjerseyhunter.com/article129904.htm I'm actually thinking about getting an 870 when I get my check, but I don't feel like looking for a new smooth barrel, here's the guy's link.

I think he's going to have to do the usual RINO act of bullshitting and making up a life-long love of the Second Amendment. He'll come out and say he supports the Second Amendment, but never really do anything to support it except, perhaps, keep thigns at the status-quo. I don't see him sitting there and doing something like eliminating the bayonet-lug removal part of the AWB or something.

Honestly, one of the major goals I believe all NJ gun owners should have is to get the NJ AWB repealed.

They're probably right. I'll be the first to admit I'm a defeatist, and tend to believe all is lost in the end. I think that with the current political climate, they're going to get what they want. The NRA has been awfully quiet in my opinion, maybe I'm not watching them closely enough, but IMO, I haven't seen too many 2A groups doing a lot to stem the tide against them.

Good idea, though I don't think I know of any sniper rifles that utilize a laser sight. I'm rather curious how that notion got popularized by Hollywood. I don't even think laser sights are common on anything besides handguns.

I was considering leaving a note in my center console that said, "Hi, if you're reading this, and I don't know you, you better hope I don't hear you breaking into my car, or you're screwed" lol.

Honestly, if I were more of a dick, I'd start correcting the spelling and grammar of most of the NJGF board members. I LOVE you guys, you're all great. However, some of you use some terrible English and spelling. If I had $1 for every "their, there, they're" mistake, spelling mistake (often of fairly common words), or mistakes with noun/verb agreement, and ocasionally tenses, I'd be living in a free state with my Tier III license, and a few fully automatic guns right now. Seriously, one of the oldest tricks in the book on the internet is to pick apart the ethos of your opponent by dismissing them as "unintelligent" based off of poor grammar and spelling. This is, sadly, a very effective technique online as it allows you to reduce the credibility of the person, and it will also allow the person using this tactic to draw attention away from their own weak argument.

SKI-BA-BOP-BA-DOP-BOP. I wonder if anyone else gets the reference in the thread title. Good job with that, I love that song haha. I was actually talking to my boss the other week about something similar. My mom wants to get a new shed, but because of our uneven yard, and the fact i'm convinced that it would settle, I suggested putting in some wood to build a "foundation" upon which to build a decent shed. He was telling me that that would really bump up our property taxes since it would be considered a "permanent structure" and that we'd have to have special zoning and all that. The only reason I even cared was because our current shed is falling apart partially due to just being placed in the yard on top of dirt.

I stopped reporting stuff like fights, drug deals, and things like that. Even when our power was out for 4 days a few years ago, and cars were getting broken into every night, they only sent one patrol down there to check stuff out after I mentioned to them I heard people opening car doors. They're pretty much useless, in theory I respect the position, but the ones around here don't do anything.

Anyway, as some of you may know, my '97 Maxima is currently sitting around until I can get it fixed after being rear-ended by a Mays landing driving instructor. Though this probably happened the other day (as my mom mentioned her car being broken into again) I just noticed about an hour ago that my car was broken into, and that stuff was scattered around inside. I think they first looked through my glove compartment, since everything in there was emptied out onto the seat. The funny thing is, my center console hardly had anything moved around in it. Only the papers at the very top were taken out of the console, and left on the driver's seat, it also looks like they got out of there in a hurry since they left a set of sunglasses and a phone charger in my car. The papers at the top of my center console? NRA membership papers I never sent in XD. Oh, and before you ask, no, we didn't bother calling the police, car break-ins have been going on around me for a few months with regularity. The last time my mom's car was broken into, they ended up releasing the guy with no charges despite his lengthy criminal record of drugs/theft/assault charges. As usual, the police around here are worthless for anything but traffic violations.

I've been torn lately between whether I wanted to get flip-up iron sights or some sort of scope. However, I have absolutely no idea about that stuff. I don't want to break the bank, so I wasn't sure whether you guys had any recommendations for good AR scopes that won't break the bank. I can't even really think to say what want in a scope, since I don't know much about them, but I would imagine I could use something that goes out to a couple hundred yards or something. If you guys need any more information to make a recommendation, just ask haha.

My anti-virus warned me against going on the site, when I opened it in a new tab.

I just saw something from the SAF, they said small arms are included on this.

I'm glad you guys helped bust some punk who is milking the system. I'm tired of working just under 70 hours a week to give some other lazy slobs my money.

I've tried going to that forum a few times, looking for AR stuff and all that (and just generally browsing their marketplace, as I am wont to do). I don't feel that they have the same "close-community/friendly" vibe we have here. Which is ironic since honestly, in person, the people in PA tend to be friendlier in my opinion.

I think you guys are sort of looking at him from the lens of 20 or so years ago. I don't think he's really even released any "gangsta rap" in a while, and actually portrays a cop on TV. He shows that not all 2A supporters are the "bitter (white people) that cling to God and Guns" or whatever the opposition likes to consider us. Honestly, whether you agree with this viewpoint or not, it rings true that if anyone recognizes WHY guns are important for self-defense, it would be people who live in poor areas where crime is prevalent. I know that another viewpoint of us gun-owners is that we "obsess over violence that COULD happen to us, but likely never will in our affluent suburban neighborhoods." NOT to mention his main point wasn't just the ownership of firearms for self defense, but rather, that they're a tool to protect against tyranny, which, though the original idea behind the Second Amendment, is a point that most gun owners aren't comfortable mentioning. As far as I'm concerned despite his former gangster image, he appears to be an upstanding citizen, if reformed (Not sure what type of record he may have had in the past, if any), and as such, it is important that he recognizes, advocates, and defend the rights we were granted by the constitution.

Agreed. However with an issue like this the moral high ground is good- Unless it makes it appear as though your side has no defense, and the lull in activity is capitalized by the opposition to weaken your public standing, and turn popular support against you. I have no problem with stop and frisk, if only it weren't for that "pesky constitution-thing". Damn that old paper, preventing smarter people from keeping us safe from ourselves. (N.B. I'm not serious, Stop and frisk is un-American, and any cop who does it without reason should be fired) I think his motivations won't come out in trial, but I'm sure there will be something, perhaps, revealed once they navigate his apartment. I'm sure that somewhere on the computer, in any writings, or SOMEWHERE, there will at least be enough to allow for someone to come up with a decent theory on why he did what he did.

Oh, and coincidentally, if you don't have hearing protection, Sony Noise cancelling headphones actually work fantastically haha.

Lmao, I love this. Well, maybe not, but it is interesting to think about, and not something I would doubt the government would do. And it does raise some questions I have not seen answered.
