I can't speak for anyone else but I am NOT in the Trump can't do no wrong crowd. I guess after 8 years of Obama, most things Trump does, for now at least, is acceptable, in my view. Basically what I am saying is that he has not yet done anything egregious enough to piss me off. But I do have a pretty long fuse, which could be a negative I agree.

I never said I was not a constitutionlist. I said I was ok with licensing and training for CCW purposes, Only, as long as it's shall issue. I'm sure that most on here would agree that training is not a bad thing when carrying, might just prevent someone from blowing off their own toes, or something more important.

That is exactly what I see, he said Heller should not be re-litigated and taken at face value, and that the Heller decision for semi-auto handguns should be applied to semi-auto rifles. We are reading the same thing and see different things. I understand that you have hated Trump for a long time and are looking to find what he has done wrong. But he has not done anything wrong in this case in my opinion, and your opinion varies, I understand. But nothing in any of the mentioned text, tells me anything other then he is Pr-2A and will only be beneficial to us, maybe not as beneficial as others but beneficial none the less.

Yes, I did, licensing and training before for concealed carry purposes. I see no issue with that, isn't that what most shall issue states do?

We are talking about 2 different things. I am NOT talking about the verbiage of the 2A, I think we are all familiar with that. We are talking about how will Kavanaugh vote on 2A cases. And based on his own words, it appears that his decisions on 2A cases will be in our favor.

I saw that, and while other judges supported the ban Kavanaugh basically said, show me where a ban is in common use today. He did not support it and told the lower court to prove him wrong. The fact that 6 out of 50 states have the ban means that the ban is not in common use. "In order to apply Heller's test to this prohibition, we must know whether magazines with more than 10 rounds have traditionally been banned and are not in common use." Again, are we all reading different things?

Am I reading something different than what you are reading? He flat out said, and I quote, "Heller prevents a ban on semi-automatic handguns, and the same reasoning applies to similar rifles:", meaning he is against any AWB. He also says that registration is unconstitutional. "In Heller, the Supreme Court held that handguns—the vast majority of which today are semi-automatic—are constitutionally protected because they have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens. There is no meaningful or persuasive constitutional distinction between semi-automatic handguns and semi-automatic rifles. Semi-automatic rifles, like semi-automatic handguns, have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens for self-defense in the home, hunting, and other lawful uses." Using tradition to say that no semi-automatic rifle should be banned. Very important passage: "In Judge Kavanaugh's view, "gun bans and regulations" should "be analyzed based on the Second Amendment's text, history, and tradition (as well as by appropriate analogues thereto when dealing with modern weapons and new circumstances..." He did not think judges should "re-calibrate the scope of the Second Amendment right based on judicial assessment of whether the law advances a sufficiently compelling or important government interest to override the individual right." In his view, Heller had been clear that Second Amendment cases should be decided "based on text, history, and tradition, not by a balancing test such as strict or intermediate scrutiny."" Text = American, NOT NJ, Constitution History = American, NOT NJ, historical view toward firearms Tradition = America, NOT NJ, gun tradition I honestly have no idea how this could be read in any other way. He is against revisiting Roe, that is all, and that is how he was sold to Kennedy to hasten his retirement.

Sorry, missed the sarcasm, too early in the morning for me. I believe we all want the same think just have different opinions on how to get it, which is good. What I have seen from Trump is a game of strategy, trying to trick the Dems instead of force feed them. That could be a good or bad strategy, I don't know yet. But I shutter to think what the alternative would have been had the hildabeast won.

Well, I saw it last night. Kind of a dirty, filthy version of Benny Hill. Don't get me wrong, I like Dirty and Filthy, but WAAAAAY to many gay references for my taste, they went overboard with the gay references.

I'm not following you. I think we ALL agree that 2A should not be ratified. But you keep forgetting that we are playing a game against a cheating team, namely the Dems, and we need to play it strategically. Pick a SCOTUS judge to replace Kennedy that the Dems would have a hard time objecting to, in this case they can't say he will reverse Roe. Then when RBG kicks the bucket, we know we will have a real war on our hands. We need to pick our battles wisely. no one is happy with the situation we are in but we need to play the cards we're dealt strategically.

DC had a history and tradition of banning ALL semi-auto handguns, but he agrees with Heller. I do believe that when he refers to history and tradition he is taking the entire country into consideration, not a state or 2.

Is it on amazon prime? I guess I know what i'm watching tonight!

AR15 lowers are stag and spikes, AR10 lower is Aero, all drop PMAGS with no issue. I will try sanding down the hexmags.

Ok, so I just got my 10 round hexmags for both my AR15s and my AR10. Now before I always used 15rnd cut down PMAGs from midwest PX. I have never had any trouble with th PMAGS, ever. The hex mags though, first of all, one of the AR10 mags accepted 12 rounds, I called Sentry and they exchanged it, no problem. I have not tried the hexmags out on the range yet but dry fitting them, with and without snap caps, I noticed that the AR15 mags don't drop like the PMAGs do, they need to be pulled out. And the AR10 mags just plane get stuck, they are hard to put in and hard to pull out (let the puns commence). Anyone else have similar issues?

They have not been illegal because they are not 30 rnd magazines modified to 15 rnds. They were designed as 15 rnd mags in the first place but in a 30 rnd body, big difference. Also, Sentry will not sell you the floor plate and spring (conversion kit) seperately to make it into a 30 rnd mag.

I will gladly send my FPID directly to Murphy with a big "FU" across it in sharpy when I move out.

Saw some reviews on the 590M, mags are expensive and difficult to load. I'll still with the standard tube mag pump until all the bugs are worked out and mag prices drop.

That is what I said in the beginning of the thread, it would be nice to have an AGopinion letter on this.

Yes, i agree, nothing is ever 100% permanent. But like a fixed stock or blocked mag, a fixed mag must be permanent "enough" to require power tools to remove, meaning it can't easily be done in the field.

With the current laws you can have a LA with a detachable magazine, if one existed, because it's not a SA. Look at the new mossberg 590M (i think thats the model), mag fed pump SG. It has a detachable mag ang you can legally have all the evil features you want because one of the 2 requirements are not met. The 2 requirements being SA and detachable mag, take 1 of those away and the AWB no longer applies. That is why pump action ARs with all the features are legal.

What I am saying is that if the magazine is fixed, not detachable, as per current law, then the 2 feature rule of the AWB would no longer apply Forget about the new law, I was saying "it might help with the new law", but my initial post pertains to the current law

I don't think maglock qualifies because CA law states magazine can be removed by disassembling the action. NJ law simply states detachable magazine. I'm not a lawyer but I would assume tgat means detachable in any way other then using tools. And as I mentioned earlier, according to my call to NJSP, that means power tools. The way I see it, its the same as a permanently fixed stock or permanently blocked magazine

What do you mean they haven't written the law yet? It was written in 1990, "a semi-automatic rifle with A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE and two of the following features", current NJ AWB.

Either 10 round steel or pmag. I agree about no restricted mags that can't be taken apart for servicing. I just thought of something else, you would need this on all your lowers even if you have 1 upper with "evil" features to avoid "constructive intent"

I would say the same about flash hiders, and bayo lugs. The AR15 WAS designed with flash hiders and bayo lugs in mind, so removing them could also be construed as manufacturing. All I am saying is that we got an AG letter for Hornady Critical Defense ammo, we got an AG letter for the shockwave and Tac-14. So why, all of a sudden, would it be detrimental to get a similar letter for fixed AR mags?
