My ffl told me yesterday that they are only accepting NICS checks by fax. No more call in at this time!

Looks like the s**t is ready to hit the fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.market-ti...www?post=216397 Lexington Common.... NY? Hmmmm... Assault-rifle owners statewide are organizing a mass boycott of Gov. Cuomo’s new law mandating they register their weapons, daring officials to “come and take it away,” The Post has learned. Gun-range owners and gun-rights advocates are encouraging hundreds of thousands of owners to defy the law, saying it’d be the largest act of civil disobedience in state history. “I’ve heard from hundreds of people that they’re prepared to defy the law, and that number will be magnified by the thousands, by the tens of thousands, when the registration deadline comes,’’ said Brian Olesen, president of the American Shooters Supply, one of the largest gun dealers in the state. Some folks in Albany apparently forgot how the American Revolution actually started. The British decided they would try to learn exactly who had muskets, ball and powder -- and intended to confiscate same. They sent a force to do exactly that, and were met by 70-odd Minutemen at Lexington Common, bearing arms. The British ordered the Colonists to surrender their weapons. The Colonists refused. Nobody is quite sure who shot first, but that was the actual start of the American Revolution. It did not start over "taxation without representation", although it can certainly be aruged that we are in that state today, where we are taxed but as citizens ignored, especially when it comes to the outrageous and blatant activity of various entities, whether it be banks or health care related firms. No, the actual shooting started over something much more basic -- the Crown's attempt to confiscate firearms. I've repeatedly had this conversation with a number of people both online and off. It is simply shocking at how poor our educational system is today when it comes to matters of basic American history. Many people believe we went to war over taxes and that was the "spark" that set off the shooting. They're wrong. Oh sure, taxation was a big deal -- and we're talking about taxes of a couple of percent, as opposed to the 40+% levied today when one looks at local, state and federal taxes. Certainly this, along with many other abuses, was a factor. But the fact remains that the actual cause of armed hostilities in 1775 was an attempt to confiscate military-style weapons from the citizens. State officials will be nervously watching the registration figures to see how many gun owners comply, sources said. I'd be nervous too. After all, what comes next if the citizens refuse to comply? There are only two options, really -- either the State backs down and repeals the law or attempts to enforce it.

Another great exchange!

http://www.ijreview.com/2013/01/31221-update-state-police-confirm-weapons-used-in-newtown-shootings/ The Connecticut State Police released a statement on January 18th attempting to clarify the confusion generated by the inconsistent and irresponsible media reporting following the Sandy Hook elementary shooting in Newtown on December 14th. The released list of weapons sets the record straight on an issue that has driven the blogosphere to increasingly speculative lengths: exactly which weapons were used in the shooting? The weapons seized from the attacker Adam Lanza are as follows, according to the State Police: #1. Bushmaster .223 caliber– model XM15-E2S rifle with high capacity 30 round clips #2. Glock 10 mm handgun #3. Sig-Sauer P226 9mm handgun Seized from suspect’s car in parking lot: #4. Izhmash Canta-12 12 gauge Shotgun (seized from car in parking lot) The Bushmaster .223 (not .233) can be assumed to be a semi-automatic rifle, although variants in fully automatic have been made for military and police purchasers. It is a “lightweight, small-caliber semi-automatic rifle, with a light recoil and a variety of optional barrel lengths and targeting/aiming devices.” The Bushmaster .223 would fall under the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban legislation [section 2(B)], since it has a detachable magazine (in this case, a 30-round magazine). The term “assault weapons” should be noted, since it appears to be politicized term used customarily to suit the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban legislation. The term is a redundancy, because there is no such thing as a “non-assault weapon.” Nonetheless, numerous politicians have described so-called “military style” weapons using the term “assault weapon,” and various journalists have either picked up on the terms uncritically or used them to further the political agenda of gun regulation. “Assault weapon” is also difficult to distinguish from “assault rifle,” another vague term that has been used to describe fully automatic weapons or rifles with self-selective fire. [Read "NBC Admitted: No ‘Assault Rifle’ Used in Newtown Shooting."] The press release also clarifies that two handguns were used in the shooting, not four handguns, as NBC reported after ‘confirming’ the information with numerous federal and state officials on live television after the shooting. It is unclear whether or not NBC issued a retraction, although it was declared false by some journalists. In addition, while there were a number of early reports that an “assault rifle” was used in the shooting, CNN ran an update that a shotgun was in the trunk of the car, and not a rifle. Although there apparently is no “Canta-12,” there is a Russian model that translates to “Saiga-12” (as a Russian speaker, I can confirm this). The Connecticut State Police thus hopefully resolves the confusion that had been created by the media’s haste to politicize a crisis. May the controversy be laid to rest along with the tragic victims of the shooting.

The assemblyman's closing remarks aginst the new law should be viewed by every politician!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Cabela's pulled out of the show because of this. Good for them!

I just got back. Was it ever packed! The main saying from talking to all the manfuacturers of handguns and rifles. Everything is being allocated to distributers and there is a 1 year wait on everything unless you find it local or on Gunbroker!

Don't know if this is a dupe. I just got back from Shot Show. http://offgridsurvival.com/sheriffsfightback-gun-control/

You may be screwed. I planned to have shipped to Heritage in Easton a non NJ compliant and they would not swap out the flash hider for a comp. They say you have to have a Class 7 manufacturing license which they do not. Have it shipped back to the original seller and get your money back!

Bought a couple guns from them. No problems!

Maybe we can all meet up for a drink somewhere.

Most people i know say they will not comply and bury their stuff in the backyard or put it in a storage locker.

Done!

Gotta love this! http://senatorfeinstein.com/

Well I know the RRA LAR-8 that I have on order for 5 months and is due anytime will be going on Gunbroker with a "buy it now" for $3,000 because that is what they are getting. Only because I just got a smokin' deal on a NIB DPMS!

That's just the point. Obummer wants to disarm the subjects before the collapse!

They can propose as many bills as they want but there are more than enough people that will ignore them!

85 million gun owners in this country with a few waco's down south who would rather fight than give up their guns! Could be the start of the next civil war if Obummer does this and a lot of people are going to get hurt!

I just went through this yesterday having a non NJ compilant rifle shipped to PA to Heritage. Then have them swap out the flash hider for a pinned and welded muzzle break. Then transfer it to me. They said they couldn't do that because they are not a Class 7 manufacturer and cannot do that work and the serial number tells the atf that it came with a flash hider. I never heard of crap like this!

I believe more innocent people were shot in NYC last year by cops!

Sorry I didn't see the other thread.

Biden may just be the reason why the AWB does not get reinstated. You can't make this stuff up! http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2013/01/07/son-of-biden-gun-control-task-force-member-convicted-of-conspiracy-to-commit-school-massacre-n1483006

Please contact your politicians. This cannot be allowed to happen again! Ban all high food capacity assault spoons now. There's no reason anyone should have a spoon that can hold more than 3 ounces of food at one time. http://charlestown.p...nuts-with-spoon

http://www.dailypaul.com/268567/australian-gun-law-update Australian Gun Law Update Submitted by legalizeliberty on Fri, 01/04/2013 - 13:49in 2nd Amendment From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia Hi all, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under. It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent, Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent; Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)! In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.(Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, so the criminals still possess their guns!) While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed. There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in 'successfully ridding Australian society of guns....' You won't see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information. The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens. Take note Americans, before it's too late!
