I know I'm driving through Tinton Falls as soon as I see the "Discharge of Firearms is Prohibited by Local Ordidance" signs. Always makes me wonder how long it takes to get a P2P or FID in that town. Apparently as long as I suspected..

There is a funny screencap of a Twitter conversation with him floating around. Re: muskets

Sounds right. I think games like Call of Duty are more likely to desensitize those pre-disposed compared to those other gory but unrealistic games. My gut tells me the games that let you act out violent tendencies in a realistic manner are the ones that are most dangerous. Don't think it is realistic to depend on the entertainment industry (or pharma industry for that matter) to make any changes on their end. Everything comes back to parenting which requires more time and involvement than most working adults can (will?) provide these days

Yes some of the ingredients will break down with an unfamiliar (unpleasant) taste and appearance but it's still good when you're hungry. Keep stirring as you eat

A complaint of "automatic" gun fire on private property is exigent circumstances to enter without a warrant? Smells funny but reminds me of something that happened to me. My friend has property that we shoot on upstate (NY). We plink with a shotugn on one side of the property. A new neighbor recently moved in quite some distance away on a property bordering the other side of our property. They called the police on us a couple different times whenever we started shooting. The police responded to their property while we were still shooting and determined that we weren't too loud and nothing came of it. The next time we were shooting the shotgun the neighbors thought it would be more effective to call the police with a story that we were shooting a rifle at their house. Much different response that time -- the county police entered our property but were sensible enough not to put a muzzle on us. All was well after they heard us out. Presumably these new neighbors came from the city and did not realize you hear gunshots regularly in rural areas. Be careful with these anti-gun folk. Instead of acclimating to the region they put our and the polices' lives in extreme danger by falsely reporting being shot at by a rifle. Still makes my blood boil when I think about it. Point being these Nazi bastards will stop at nothing to get their way including facilitating murder. And I think your new neighbor is saying hi.

I would follow up with that prosecutor and the chief but that's just me -- a friendly but "not for nothing, sir" coversation. I would also install a couple trail cameras pointed at the access drive and the range to satisfy my own curiousities. I'm also curious where the SWAT is based out of compared to the location of your property and why a prosecutor has a better response time than my fire department -- but I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

The irony is delicious.

A prosecutor was 2 minutes behind the SWAT team? How long were you shooting for before they entered your property?

After I ruin a bunch of titanium nitride drill bits I'll have the most secure kegerator in the world.

I'm sure we'll be allowed to keep them if we permanently attach leashes between the magazine and gun. Surfers have been doing it for decades.

Interesting, good point about Tapco There's also the conspiracy theorist's explanation -- an anti-gun mastermind at the helm of Cerberus is secretly using investor's cash to systematically acquire and irreparably destroy firearm companies from the inside out. I kid of course

Fair enough. Here's my opinion.. Yes they were making profit on sales in the short term but there is the outstanding debt. That combined with gutting all the companies and moving their manufacturing operations to old substandard Remington plants seems like an attempt to make a short term profit at the expense of all else. Holding the Freedom Group upside down and shaking them down for every last penny doesn't seem like the plan for a long term investment for Cerberus. They needed to dump the Freedom Group before that catches up with them. Their options were then to dump the Freedom Group either by selling it privately or taking it public via IPO. I suspect they have been looking to dump it privately since they pulled out of their attempt to go public last year (perhaps their sales profits weren't good enough to detract from the gutted interior). What a good opportunity recent events have provided to get rid of Freedom Group without the investers crying foul on a seemingly profitable investment.

Incorrect about forming a conglomerate in an attempt to eliminate redundancy and generating a profit or incorrect that this has nothing to do with recent events?

They bought up those companies with the plan of turning over a profit by combining common aspects of the businesses within the conglomerate and eliminating the resulting redundancies. Their business plan was not as profitable as they planned -- they could not make it work -- and so they are dissolving the conglomerate. This has nothing to do with recent events. It should also be noted that the California teacher's pension fund was aware of where there money was invested prior to recent events. Hell, according to liberal logic the teachers were complicit in the murder of those 20 children. Pension funds should be banned, the teachers should be jailed and all financial investments should be limited to $10 per recipient.

That's what my m70 looks like -- ears ground off -- good to go

Perhaps the firearms manufacturers are worried that the anti's would sieze on such a statement as the manufacturer indicating culpability. What we see as a compassionate note will not be viewed as such by the anti's. The link between gun manufacturers and the events in Newtown is so tenuous and the atrocity so heinous that any voluntary association with the atrocity can only serve to legitimize anti's claims of a link. I think organizations linked to firearms should only be responding if they are directly accused or disparaged by the anti's, i.e. the NRA. Hopefully in the next couple days..

Maybe that's a good way to argue with the mouth breathers and the hippy dippies There is a violent energy that is exuded in our society. If you get rid of all the guns this violent energy will just find another way to escape. And in the extreme end of the spectrum -- mass murders -- the violent acts will become much much more unpreventable (i.e. B word). The only way to decrease the violent energy is to change society. We will never be able to stop these violent acts completely, shit does happen. But we do have control over some of the underlying issues that cause homicidal outbursts of violence. The big issue is mental healthcare. Apparently we need to dump a lot of money into budget to increase the bed count substantially. The mental healthcare system needs to be disentangled from the prison system by the legislature(?). And we need to lock up seasoned cold blooded killers instead of having them serve fractions of their sentence or being plead out back to the street immediately, i.e. enforcing the existing laws. A second issue is addressing modern parenting. Specifically.. the excessive coddling, constantly satisfying the kid's desire for instant gratification and otherwise sowing the seeds of entitlement. A kid needs to have a moral compass and know a hard day's work. And so do his friends, his parents and his grandparents, his teachers, etc. These things can't be changed in a single generation obviously and telling someone how to parent is like beating a dead horse. The dumbest ones will do the opposite just to spite you. I don't expect the parenting aspect to ever get better considering the reason behind it -- seems to be a one way street. Anyway, I'm not very knowledgeable on what improvements will benefit the mental healthcare system but I do know that pretty much any half-assed idea will be more effective than guns magically ceasing to exist. If we get rid of all guns, which is impossible anyway, we're going to back here (well probably a different forum) talking about outlawing glass, gasoline and laundry detergent in a few years. And we'll have already paid the ultimate price -- the loss of one of our most fundamental Constitutional rights, the right that stands sentry to all other rights and the only Constitutional right that can ultimately protect us from tyranny (the 20th century is a good read).

Read some interesting things about the Wyatt's dealings when the show initially came out. Rocky Mountain gun owners had much to say about his checkered past. I liked that you could watch the hour long show in 5-10 minutes with a Tivo. The shop historian was cool as were the obligatory helicopter rides to see old money gun collections. The Texas Ranger collection was the best. Also cool was the rig to shoot out the side of a helicopter, probably a very profitable tourist attraction now. Daughter was a little young to be getting all that attention -- the old man really whored her out for the cameras when she was barely 16 if that.

DOES IT HAVE THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT SIG BRANDED NIGHT SIGHTS INSTALLED? STOP IF SO CAN YOU READ OFF THE TINY NUMBERS ON BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR SIGHTS? STOP

Re: semi-auto rifles, aren't the smaller capacity magazines more reliable? And can't magazine be switched out extremely quickly? Wouldn't this killer have been just as effective and efficient carrying many 10 round magazines on his molle vest?

In particular I am looking for a 5.45 and possibly another 7.62. Maybe I will try some PA shops/shows and then defer to used sales. Would rather do the conversions myself, they are good weekend projects. Edit: I hear you, Polak
