I just had a whole rant about using racism in this context and how pathetic it is. But decided against posting it because of how emotionally angered I got. So, with that said, grow the hell up.

I have to say, adding insults to your insight does nothing but make it less credible. Making a clear, truthful point in a conversation is automatically negated when you bring emotional context into. We all say the same thing when a new outlet does it.

Just check the price of Pmags and .223 ammo. It's ridiculous.

I completely disagree. This will go somewhere. I think that the rest ofhe country will just be coming to same standards as NJ or Calif.

Only a brand new member would believe that. I don't even know you, but know you have at LEAST a solid 3.

Yea it doesn't look good for us. There are only a few different ways I see this going down: #1- They legislate the rest of the country to basically the same standards as NJ or Calif. #2-The do a buyback similar to Australia (unlikely with the fiscal cliff and all) #3-People revolt and it all goes downhill from there.

Something tells me it would have to be your primary residence.

FPSrussia has a nicer one with a 5.56 cannon on it.

Why is that? They have funded some pretty big court cases that went our way. They lobby for our rights. They may have given up on NJ, but federal law is more important than anything.

I probably have 200 plastic bags from grocery shopping....I have dogs to I never had to pay for their....em, clean-up utensils. DON'T TAKE MY BAGS AWAY! I can surely find a "sporting purpose" for them!

“The 5 cents is not a fee, it is a penalty on those that do not protect the environment," First off, "its not a fee, its a penalty.." Splitting hairs aren't we? Second, are they using the same fortune tellers to predict who will throw the bags into the streams, as they are using to predict all gun owners are going to commit a crime?

Morgan Freeman is strongly anti-gun. He was more speaking of the media. As for Hollywood, well its pretty funny that most of the cast from both Expendables movies are anti gun...go figure

A chip in every gun that does what? Does a mental health assessment and notifies the police that the person holding the gun doesn't qualify? Sounds familiar.....if I want my guns tracked, I would approve of the U.N. getting involved with our gun control. A chip in every gun has got to be the absolute worst idea I've ever heard. I seriously hope this was meant to be some sort of levity.

Instant satisfaction and feel good laws are just to keep the train running.....it will eventually run out of track though.

ALL Lanzas are dead. Ryan was the shooter. Adam was the brother. He was found dead in Ryans Hoboken residence. Edit: I'm reading a ton of conflicting reports. I just read one that said Adam had Ryan Lanza's ID, which is why there was the confusion, and that Ryan is being questioned but not listed as a suspect.

This also. I didn't grow up in a religious household. I do not believe in any one religion. My moral compass came from good family, and hard work ethics. I was always taught cause and affect. With every action, is a reaction. For fear of being a "bad person" I always managed to stay on the straight and narrow. Society as a whole is a problem. A world where even the losers are "winners", and failures "pass"...where do they learn correction and right from wrong?

THIS. Putting him in the spotlight post-tragedy, only creates a stage for future mass tragedy. People always want to "one-up" the last guy. Aurora, Oregon, now CT? I can see it now, "Mass tragedy sweeping across the nation"

Those are optical. The claims that are being made is that its non optical, and seriously magical. I remember seeing this video a while back but thought it was just B.S....who knows what's actually being used. http://youtu.be/uU-xBJCyNhk

You'd be surprised man. Some people just have that kind of dough to toss around. Others are just incredibly gullible and willing to put everything they have into saving themselves. Its no different than a religion with a timeline to your death. I remember hearing about Europeans that bought into it heavily, way before it became popular here. There have been some pretty successful products that were bred from preppers. I can't tell you a confirmed number of people though. In the word of preppers, 30k is what's spent on food alone. Not to be a bubble burster, but that was all accounted for when they calculated what the date would have been. Mayans didn't have the Gregorian Calendar, therefore they had no idea what December was.

Somebody has never seen the Doomsday Preppers on NatGeo. For the longest time I've heard of people overseas preparing by investing in emergency boats, freeze-dried goods, and things of that nature. It's nothing new that people have spent their life savings on this theory.

You're absolutely right. For whatever reason I just feel as though all those things would fix themselves in time as the population became more regularly armed. Corruption is only as strong as the people who allow it.

Do you think it will be a lightswitch type of ending? I'm not one for believing that the end is 12/21/12. They say its just the end of the 9th cycle. So maybe the beginning of a new cycle will bring new unknowns to us. Wait a few more days and find out. I just can't wait to point and laugh at those that spent 10-20-30+ thousand dollars "prepping".

I'm sorry. You're living in a dream world. It may be that way where you live, but not anywhere in Union County. Westfield, Scotch Plains, Clark, Cranford...all have low income towns bordering them, and all have crime that originates from the low income areas. Cherry Hill may just be an exception, but that is not statewide, so its not fair to portray that as a standard.

Think about what drives property taxes. Schools and pretty much the quality of life in the area. If the quality of life and schools were better across the board in NJ (hopefully due to less crime because of CCW) then would you think that taxes would drop?

Yes and no. An immediate move would provide a nicer environment and nicer people. NJ is full of opinionated dbags, like myself. I've been wanting to move to PA for some time now, for more than just the gun laws. NJ used to be NYC's suburbia. Now its becoming another borough. No, because I think that with better gun laws for us, the crime would drop, people may relax a bit, and everyone just MIGHT be a little happier.
