They did not propose these were the only instances in that time period. It's just the 200+ they documented.

Thanx for that post! Excellent statement that I wouldn't have read, because I wouldn't voluntarily go to CNN. I'll be passing that one on.

Surprise! Now... sur la point!

I recorded it, didn't watch it, and based on the previous comments I think I'll just delete it because I agree with your opinions. And I don't need the aggravation for no purpose. I did look at DirecTV's most active stats a couple times while it was on. It wasn't in the top 5 either nationally or on the Eastern seaboard. Don't know about ratings yet. I watched Megyn Kelly's open at 9. She had Chris Cox on and he stated their 'invitation' was for submission of one pre-screened question only. I'm sure if some NRA person was there they would have been ridiculed to their face the whole time, with no opportunity to respond. Some Town Hall eh?

I have extra Kleenex if needed.

Well actually, it could be Firearm Accessories at The Met. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Rw9c7GirPs

Just to put tonight's CNN town hall in context, and understand why the NRA said 'Nah!', read this article. More plants than in my wife's arboretum. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2016/01/06/inside_th_garden_of_political_town_hall_plants_129220.html

PM me if you want some 1960's Kleenex I rescued from my mother's house. I used a whole box on Tuesday.

Perhaps they were outside the time period of the sample, or were overlooked. But you get the drift. There definitely were no CCW citizens doing the job in public places, or perhaps even in the home.

In my opinion it comes from a Republican congress that will not do what it should ultimately do when a president is way out of line: stop funding the presidential violations. And that means doing the funding job for real; 8 to 10 funding bills that deal with specific government segments, not one giant omnibus that will 'shut down the government if we don't pass it'. But hey, the last federal election really didn't matter at all. It appears that at the federal level the 'Republican' party as an opposition party is mostly a fiction. As far as I can see.

Well I think this is a little analysis that deserves airing. The Daily Caller complied 200+ instances where firearms were used to 'save lives' in a one year period. There's a national map where you can drill down to each specific instance and see the documentation on what happened. And here's one rub: the state of New Jersey had a big fat ZERO total of interventions by legally armed citizens. And we all know why. So the corollary is also true: all assaults, robberies, carjackings, murders etc. proceeded unimpeded in the Garden State, courtesy of our legislature. See what you think. I'm bookmarking this one, and using it elsewhere. http://dailycaller.com/2016/01/05/gun-control-owners-criminals/

Or possibly to be swept under the rug. I don't believe gun control is a winning issue for Democrats.

Yes Nick, i have read that. My question would be will the ATF have subsequent statements reflecting Obama's EO, or is this the actual reflection of the EO policy? I don't think so, but time will tell. I also noticed this in the preamble: "The guidance set forth herein has no regulatory effect and is not intended to create or confer any rights, privileges, or benefits in any matter, case, or proceeding, see United States v. Caceres, 440 U.S. 741 (1979)." In other words, like the NJSP advise on firearms law, don't count on it for legal protection?

So far, the analyses I have read and listened to seem to agree that everything he's going to try is either a re-statement of existing law, or re-enforcement of existing law (which should have been done anyway), with one exception. The re-definition of 'being in the business' of selling guns can potentially cut off private gun sales (legally) if the definition is brought down to one gun. Re-defining law is something he cannot constitutionally do, but he's going to try. I've never sold a firearm, and don't plan to. So I'm not upset for myself. But at the national level this is ominous and must be neutralized. Add: According to Andrew Napolitano these are all empty words until someone is actually prosecuted on the basis of the EO. Then it will be tested in court.

I for one will. If anyone's looking for the Children's Discussion, go to NJ.com.

I have the audio muted, but it does look like Obama is crying while making his announcements. He's also wagging his finger at me a lot. The text ribbons have all had 'common sense', 'children', 'sense of urgency' scrolling across. And all the networks have interrupted their programming to cover it. Looks like 'petulant child' was pretty close. Update: yes he was crying, and he spoke for 40 minutes.

This just came out, so I thought I would post it up. I'm not sure I have the stomach to watch it however. The town hall will be moderated by Anderson Cooper. How fair and balanced. I will be interested to see how tightly the 'live' audience is screened. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/obama-to-hold-gun-control-town-hall/article/2579462 Update: fixed the title to Thursday, not Monday. Thanx PB. Didn't catch that.

Thanx OGG. I have the same problem, that's why I keep reading up. I do save hard or digital copies of some really good ones (like this) to refresh my mind when necessary. Like when I'm going into enemy territory. I realized quite a while ago I don't have an exclusive lock on all the pro 2A or firearm arguments. I need periodic refresh.

The delivery time from Idaho to Sussex county is always 6-7 calendar days via UPS and is pretty consistent. Unless of course there's a blizzard or something unusual going on. However when they're real busy with one of their promotions, it can take 3 to 5 business days for the order to go out the door. That's why I keep enough stock on hand and never wait until the last minute.

Today's article in the National Review looks at the very broad answer to that question, as well as a number of relevant historical and constitutional issues. Perhaps you have heard them all before, but there may still be a few nuggets in here you haven't picked up yet. I also thought his arguments were well structured. And, at the very end, New Jersey gets an honorable mention as the 'draconian' state that it is, with a prime example that you all know. Happy New Year. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/429132/self-defense-second-amendment

As far as I know, there's nothing 'wrong' with Simplisafe. There's a lot of people using them that are satisfied. One thing though: Simplisafe equipment won't work with any other provider. It's proprietary. So if you want to change for any reason the equipment won't work with another provider. Also: most of the security companys resell Alarm.com, which is the business back end (computers, network and software) for their services. The company provides the staff for monitoring and calling the police. I signed up with the company below over a year ago and they've been good. Also their rate was the lowest I found for a particular (pretty basic) monitored coverage level. https://suretydiy.com/

Although it was an even handed report, don't get too excited. NJN News has not been historically what I would call "2A Friendly". Nor is Mary Alice. But I'll take it. At least they got Alex in the mix, and I DIDN'T SEE Cry'in Bryan.

NYC Channel 13 at 5:30. So that appears on any cable or satellite system that provides local channels. The newscast also appears at different times on UHF PBS stations, like 50. Mary Alice is a channel 4 alum. Getting on in years but still has the biggest eyes on local TV.

Here's a link to the story tonight on NJTV News. It features Caso's Gun-a-Rama and Alex Roubain makes a cameo appearance. It also points out (obliquely) that Obama is the Gun Salesman of the Century. Interestingly the two customers they interviewed were both women. http://www.njtvonline.org/news/video/crime-terrorism-fear-of-stricter-gun-control-laws-among-reasons-for-spike-in-sales/

When I lived in Randolph under Chief Harold Booser it was typically less than a week. Right Howard? Now that I go through the NJSP... oh well.
