Alternatives To Facebook
I understand that, i'm talking about people, not FB corporate meta data geeks. When I say invasion of privacy I mean every joe shmo out there seeing pictures of you, your family, knowing where you live, knowing what you had for dinner and how it looked like when it came out, and so on.

Alternatives To Facebook
I personally don't understand all the appeal of social media. I actually see it as an invasion of privacy. You want an alternative to facebook? How about face to face or making a phone call to a friend, a REAL friend and not one of thousands of followers who you don't know. I have a facebook account, and only for 2 things, saving my phone game data, and sharing large videos with my REAL friends, friends I see and talk to on a daily basis. If you want news, you can use any of hundreds of news outlets available. Even on this board, if you notice I don't share any personal data other then photo's of my toys. At least not until I meet members in real life. Because even on here, you don't really know who you are talking to until you meet face to face.

I finally turned her
I did, for 10 years. She finally gave in just to shut me up. But it worked!
-
I finally turned her
Yes, I was talking about her, she can have my red 10/22 if she wants, but she wants a pink AR, and not solid pink, camo pink.
-
I finally turned her
I got a red 10/22, don't need another. I already have most parts to build 2 AR15s, just need barrel and forearm

I finally turned her
Persistance

I finally turned her
recoil is not an issue, overall weight is. She had no problem shooting the AR10, only because she was shooting it off the bench. She needs something she can comfortably hold up.

I finally turned her
For as long as we have been married, 20 years now, I have been trying to get my wife into guns. But she has always been hands off. She did not mind me having guns in the house but she didn't want anything to do with them herself. And she always complained that I spent too much money on my hobby. I took her to the range for the first time about ten years ago, and her opinion at that time did not change. Well, I was finally able to talk her into going to the range with me yesterday, for the second time in her life. And low and behold, I now have an order for a pink camo AR15. I finally did it, she has finally come over to the dark side. Now I need to start building a light weight AR15 for her, and of course, paint it pink. I already have a few anderson lowers, so now I need suggestions for light weight parts. Don't know if I want to use the MI billet uppers I have or get a stamped upper. Edit: Oh, and I think she just took unofficial possession of my VP9.

Permanently blocking a magazine
Hexmag 10/30 is $11.99 in most places, if you want a full size body. The time alone to unblocked and re-block an already blocked mag is not worth the hassle.

4 New Proposed Laws, the Crazy doesn't Sleep in Trenton
i'm pretty sure ATF has details on total manufactured and total sold, thru manufacturer and FFL logs. It not common in NJ, it's common in the USA.

Magazine registration
Anyone considering having more then 1 wife should definitely first consider a visit to a very good psychiatrist. My wife ask if we can renew our vows for our 20th anniversary. I responded with "I ain't making the same mistake twice"

4 New Proposed Laws, the Crazy doesn't Sleep in Trenton
All they need to do is look at sales figures throughout the last 10 years or so just to get a small idea of how many 1911s are out there. That number alone, which is a small fraction of the actual amount in circulation, would be more than enough to prove "common use"
-
Magazine registration
exactly, none of their business. I have 9 mags because I "Want" 9 mags and because I had no room left in my safe for the 10th mag!
-
Magazine registration
I got a bill for them, replace 9 USP45 mags with 10 rounders at $69.95 each and 5 VP9 mags at $44.95 each. So just for 2 pistols i'm looking at a loss of $855 plus shipping. I will go broke if I had to replace all my NOW LEGAL mags.

What would you expect to save of msrp?
To add to this, manufacturers also add incentives and rebates that the dealer can pass to the buyer. So every time you see advertised "$1,000 cash allowance" or "Current Owner Discount", that is actually the manufacturer giving the discount not the dealer.
-
What would you expect to save of msrp?
It all depends on how much over invoice MSRP is, time of the month, especially for dealers who keep a large inventory. Factory incentives, color and options, just to name a few. I just got my wife a 2017 RX350 for $500 below invoice and they payed off the remaining lease on a RAV4 which was 12 months. Got it end of last October, 10/30 to be exact. They wouldn't let me leave the dealership because they needed to make room for 2018 models.

Citigroup Announces Firearm Policy... For Clients!
I did just that last October, but for other reasons. Closed ALL my bank accounts and credit cards with citibank. But citibank is primary in the tri-state area, so they may be able to get away with this BS. I don't think other large banks will be able to.

NJSP Requiring Fingerprints for Subsequent P2P Permits?
Manalapan PD, when I got my P2Ps last year, told me they now require fresh finger prints every 5 years. Not sure if it's a township issue or an NJSP requirement, but manalapan is pretty conservative so I would guess it's an NJSP requirement. Could be someone high in the food chain got an under the table offer by the fingerprint company, don't remember the name, to send business their way.

Trump Announces Support For Bump Stock Ban
looks to me like Trump is an outsider, like Reagan. He is positioning to make deals. get rid of gun-free zones and arm teachers? I think it's worth"talking" about "possibly", "maybe", getting rid of bump fire stocks. “a gun-free zone to a maniac, they’re all cowards, is 'let’s go in and attack because bullets aren’t coming at us.'” “If a potential ‘sicko shooter’ knows that a school has a large number of very weapons talented teachers (and others) who will be instantly shooting, the sicko will NEVER attack that school. Cowards won’t go there…problem solved. Must be offensive, defense alone won’t work.” http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/02/22/trump-calls-for-arming-teachers-raising-gun-purchase-age-to-stop-savage-sicko-shooters.html

Boycott Optics Planet
Changing shipping fees is not the same as making up laws. Any business is free to charge as little or as much for their product or services, including shipping, as they like, that is capitalism not politics, and that is what we all support I would hope. Midway changing their shipping structure might make me buy a specific item from someone else if the OTD price is cheaper, but it won't make me stop buying from midway. Opticsplanet on the other hand, is playing politics, and that is what has made them deserving of my blacklist.

Boycott Optics Planet
I just got one of their promotion emails from their sales department, and I replied to that email with the following: "Please be aware that as of this moment optics planet, and all subsidiaries, are black listed in my household. Your company has spit in the face of the 2A community by kowtowing to the liberal anti-gun crowd and refusing to sell standard capacity magazines. Please be confident in the fact that I WILL spread the word to all my friends and relatives of this slap in the face and I WILL try my hardest to make sure they black list you as well."
