He is a piece of something, but "work" is not what immediately springs to mind...

FBI = lawyers and accountants with guns. I never expect that to turn out well.

Genewarper, I appreciate your position, and understand completely where you are coming from. I used to hold the same position. But events of late - particularly in NY - have (to use the words of the President) caused my views to evolve. I am a very quiet guy, probably more so than your librarian. I have volunteered literally thousands of hours over decades in service to my community. I am a typical 2.5 kids with a dog and a white picket fence kind of guy. Liberals along with everyone else would see me as Joe average middle class. Almost no one knows I own firearms. I'm not the kind of person that they showcase on doomsday preppers shows. If you consider my views radical, progressive infringements have radicalized me. If they leave me alone I will live a happy, peaceful productive life of service to the community. If my rights are further infringed, Lexington and Concord will be played out. Liberals want to confiscate firearms in the mistaken belief that it will decrease violence. It will not; in fact, it may lead to violence unlike anything that has been seen in this country since the 1860s. Given the opportunity, I would be very happy to discuss this with Rachel Maddow or Lawrence O'Donnell. We cannot be "on the defensive." We have done that for years and where has it gotten us? The best defense is a good offense.

If confiscation starts large scale, there will be a lot of shooting. Probably more than most LEOs have seen in their career; how much does an average cop get shot at? After their fifth time getting shot at trying to confiscate, they might decide a career change is in order. It will be interesting to see how things progress in NY.

Uncle Sam probably redirected your bullets, removed the powder and refilled them with granulated sugar....

So read another way, two-thirds of New Yorkers think the new gun regs are either fine or did not go far enough? Who the hell are they polling? Do they call in the daytime and speak exclusively to a bunch of welfare liberals parasites sleeping off hangovers?

Respectfully, I cannot disagree with you more. We have been pushed back, and back and back, and now we are in the corner. There is no where else to back up to. I live a quiet life, and will cause no harm to anyone who does not harm me. But if my rights are infringed to the point that they violate my constitutional rights and come for my guns, there will be shooting and it will not end well for anyone. Liberals, please hear this loud and clear. If you are peace loving, leave law abiding people's firearms alone. If you continue to press for taking firearms from law abiding citizens, you will cause war. Waco will be repeated on scales large and small thousands of times throughout the country (possibly for decades). It should make no difference to you whether I have a blunderbuss, a flamethrower or a Sherman tank. Leave us alone. If you continue to interfere, you do so at your peril.

We will all be breaking much bigger laws than this by the time the politicians are done with their idiocy.

It isn't an issue of banning the word fire. The anti-2A argument is more analagous to saying everyone should have their mouth sutured shut upon entering the theater.

I hope you all liked the situation at Waco, because the government is about to provoke tens of thousands of similar situations....

Law abiding citizens having their homes searched by the government to determine who is "qualified"? I bet the qualified people will be the same as those who "qualify" for a CCW permit. It is almost time to start shooting. Star Ledger, I hope you are following this. There will be blood, and it will be the fault of the government.

If all of New Jersey's LEOs are willing to have this technology installed on their service weapons - and introduce increased possibility for electronic/mechanical failure in a critical situation - have at it. Secret Service agents should also be required to use these when the president comes to town. The next "safety device" will have a radio receiver incorporated which will allow "someone" to disable all weapons in a one-mile radius. Just wait and see...

Impossible. Chicago has some of the "best" gun laws in the nation.

If you're not being satirical, this should be on the front page of the New York Times. Even those pieces of feces would be interested in this.

They don't walk like a duck, but they sure talk like an anus.

Contact shipper? WTF are they supposed to do? UPS is the one claiming that they left it!

I was planning on making a second trip for the ammo, smarty pants!

These dudes will be disappointed when they fire up organizingforaction.gov...

If this was the case, I would think you would be better off just going understaffed

1. Rent Uhaul trailer 2. Put arms inside 3. JB Weld Doors shut

50%? I would say that is better than average accuracy for the media these days.

Conveniently, the government has voted to allow itself immunity from almost anything. Be careful on Feb 8th. You could fall into a pit of feces-coated punji sticks on the grounds of the statehouse and they would not be liable.

Glad the rules don't have to apply to the government. I hope Cuomo gets run out of town on a rail and dies of starvation.

I won't say anything further. People get their feelings hurt and I get sent to the time out chair. But in parting:

Well said. I hate to limit my options though. I would probably try both.
