Can anyone explain the factual reason why NJ cannot get its gun laws changed like most other States?
I disagree with the middle class theory. In my town (Roselle Park), the average household income is around 100k. That is far from wealthy these days. Factor in a mortgage, car payments, insurances, and any other typical expenses and you have someone that barely gets by. I own guns but took a long time to get them because of my budget. I know for a fact there are others on the site that wouldn't consider themselves wealthy. For instance, when someone asks if they should "splurge" the extra $100-$200 on an optic. That isn't a big deal to someone wealthy enough to buy a $1500 optic. I waited months to get my aimpoint pro. Gun ownership does not directly reflect income status. I deal with people on a daily basis who can't afford to fix safety issues on their primary vehicles because they don't get paid for another week. Just for the record I work in Westfield. As for the comment about rich towns next to poor towns and how guns wouldn't relate to them...I guess the criminals never go to the nicer areas to burglarize? I can think of plenty of high income towns that are surrounded by low income towns. It doesn't work that way. There is no barrier for weapons related crime. I own my firearms for self defense more so than sport, as do a lot of my friends. My neighborhood is surrounded by Union, Elizabeth, and Roselle, while they may have some nicer secluded areas, they are mostly low income, high crime areas.

How much is too much? Your personal gun limit.
This. I dont think its fair for my wife to have entire closet of shoes, but I sometimes hear shit for the amount of guns I have that are significantly less.

I turned 18 in September of 2012. I want to apply for a gun license, but I don't know if I'll get approved or not :( Help?
I think there was a misunderstanding between both of us. I thought you were reflecting your opinion, just as I was stating mine. Just opinions.

No. You already have a counter thread labeled "NJGF arms race 2012"

Now its okay for the state to decide who gets it? In one hand its inalienable, in the other It's restricted. I am 100% 2a, but I also understand that it comes with responsibility, nor would I want every Tom, Dick, and Jane to own a firearm. There NEEDS to be regulation. Without it would be chaos. I don't think an 18yr old kid should be able to buy a firearm after trippling a 25mph speed limit. This isn't about him just speeding. There is a reason it was a 25mph zone. Anything over that speed is seen as a possible threat to the environment attached to the road (including people and homes, or construction depending on the circumstances). If he was willing to do this with a PRIVELAGE, imagine what he might think is ok with something considered a RIGHT. Without a doubt his license should be revoked until he's at a more mature age and his right to purchase firearms should also. He has shown a blatant disrepect for authority, and the law. It should echo throughout all aspects of the law, not just one.

Just more assumptions man. I've done none of the above. And if I was burglarized, you better believe I would do whatever was necessary to protect me and mine. I don't train and practice to the teeth so that I can cower in a corner and clutch my family. You basically have come on these forums and overflowed nothing but condescention, and lack of support for military, and 2a. Why are you a member here?

A few tickets, is different than going more than triple the speed limit. That is absolutely reckless to himself and everyone around. I don't know what the environment was, but as BLF said before, 25mph usually means residential, safe corridor, or construction. Have you ever seen what a 75mph crash looks like? In any of those scenarios, would be VERY bad. They dont put 25mph just to be a dick.

I don't think you quite understand the term "sheepdog" because that guy is FAR from it. As for militants and the such being in favor, again I think you're wrong. It's sheeple that are scared into giving a little freedom in return for security. People who believe that their government would never turn on THEM. Don't generalize so much.Oh and I don't think many people here will appreciate the "our heroes" comment.

I hope this kid doesn't get it. No way should someone willing to drive like this, in the vehicle described, be given the right to purchase something that is much easier to do harm with. Then again, I do believe he's a troll...or just too embarrassed to respond. Maybe he thought the good folk at NJGF would sympathize? Lol

None of these are acceptable excuses. Period. I just placed an order with ammunitiontogo(dot)com yesterday and when I received the confirmation email, it stated my order wouldn't be shipped until December 21st due to high order volume. When I emailed them explaining that I didn't realize they were so backlogged and that I wasn't expecting to wait so long for the order to ship, they immediately responded saying they would bump it ahead as most other people are just stocking up after the election. My order shipped today. THAT is customer service. Even if they didn't ship it today, THEY RESPONDED. Why is it so hard for PSA?

Hearing Protection
Me and my wife both use these custom molded plugs that work great, even when shooting rifle. Made by Radians and can be had for about $10 per pair. Fit perfect and mold to your ear canal. Haven't had a problem yet.

It's not just that one. Every one of their daily deals has that response. It's outrageous that they continue on and on with this and people continue buying. Since my last ammo order in beginning of July took 6 weeks to get, I will never again buy from them

Whats the fastest you have ever gone?
158mph in my 86 vette on the parkway. Tons of work done from top to bottom, front to back. Handled it amazingly. No fear factor because of how smooth it was. I miss that car.

the measure of a sharp knife
I have a $10 sharpener made by S&W. It has carbide, ceramic, and a diamond stick for serrated edges. Works great. I use it on my daily kershaw. I too, steel my kitchen knives often. Haven't needed to sharpen them all year.

Mine came with the ammo in the drybox, and only half were in the boxes. What packing?

And Now for Something Completely Different
I guess I'm lucky. My wife was never into guns or politics. After being with me for about 2 yrs, she couldn't stand not understanding the context of the conversation and began learning both. Now shes my shooting partner and buys me all kinds of gun parts. Last night she gave me a Geisele SD-C and BAD Ambi selector.
