Carroll vs Cryan on News12 this weekend
They pull the numbers out of their azz. Here's a comment made by Senator Murphy, a Democrat, from Connecticut: "We do know that historically in these instances, amateurs have trouble switching magazines,” Mr. Murphy said, referring to the high-capacity ammunition feeding device used by Mr. Lanza to shoot scores of bullets in seconds. “I believe, and many of the parents there believe, that if Lanza had to switch cartridges nine times versus two times there would likely still be little boys and girls alive in Newtown today.”

LOL. That would pizz them off.

You're correct, no way to prove it. But it is the partyline used by all politicians who want to limit magazine capacity who are pointing to that event as an example.

The senate's approach is usually a bit slower, and more deliberate. They have the ability to write their own legislation to be reconciled, if the assembly doesn't want theirs to go down in flames. If the senate's adjustments are agreed upon by both houses, it would then be up to Christie after the revised bills clear the senate. I don't think the senate will vote the bills out of their committee without addressing the issues raised. You never know though.

FIREARMS PRICCE REQUEST?
A simple email template that tactfully address requests from DB's would suffice. LOL. Don't get me wrong, I understand your point completely. What you may consider is, if you have something similar to my request -- perhaps by another manufacturer, you might just want to quickly reply, "I don't have what you're looking for, but I do have ... , which is similar if you're interested. In the present atmosphere, people are willing to compromise. As an example, I was looking for a Kimber, 1911 a few weeks ago. Didn't necessarily have to be a Kimber -- that was a want. Could have been just about any 1911 with a decent reputation within my price range.

South Jersey Times Article - Pro 2A
A great read. While the legislators all keep repeating each other with the mantra "it's common sense legislation," and "let's get this done," and "enough is enough is enough," Our simple response should be that "you are out of touch with reality", "it's not about the guns stupid."

FIREARMS PRICCE REQUEST?
We're just as tired with this crap as you are. With enough courtesy to those who still want to buy guns, they'll probably continue to do business with when this stuff finally goes away. How the hell would I know if, for some reason you might have, or not have, a particular gun I'm looking for. Don't tell me you don't have 1 new gun to sell. Perhaps it could be the gun I'm looking for.

Since both Sweeney or Christie could make,or break the issue, I wouldn't draw comparisons. Just simply stating that adopting a law with a 10-round limit, and no grandfather clause, will turn every owner of a semi-automatic handgun into a criminal AND with the run on magazines, with no magazines to be had in the short-term, people would either be forced to break the law, or not have use of their firearms at home for protection.

Carroll vs Cryan on News12 this weekend
Each time he humps on the memory of that little girl, and tells his story, he doesn't start out by saying that the shooter had a 33-round magazine in a handgun. He always starts out by saying that she was killed with the 13th round, and that since NJ's limit is 15, it should now be 10, and if it were 10 she would still be alive. The shooter's gun could have jammed on the 3rd round, or the 5th round, or the 8th round. Could have, could have, could have. All he's doing is drawing hypothetical parallels that cloud the real issue. Like a true democrat, he's a master at blowing smoke.

FIREARMS PRICCE REQUEST?
Not to bust your ballettes, I recognize the inventory issues. I can't speak for others, but I get frustrated wondering if my emails and price requests have fallen into some black hole in cyberspace. When I submit a request for quote, I have permit in hand and money in my pocket. I wait to shop elsewhere, hoping to do business with a forum vendor, for replies that never come. I think all forum vendors should at least reply with a note that says it's out of stock, and it's unknown when the gun will be available again. Then I can move on to look elsewhere.

My Brother and .223 Ammo at Gun Show
He just moved to Seymour TN two months ago. He bought some land and is having two houses built on the property. He's talking about setting up a private range for him and his friends.

My Brother and .223 Ammo at Gun Show
I got a call from my brother, who was at a gun show in Tennessee this afternoon. He wanted some info on .223 ammo that he offered to pick up for a friend if he found any. Since he doesn't use .223/.556 ammo, and couldn't reach his friend, he called me. It wasn't a really good bargain, but it was ok and available. He had 2,000 rounds in front of him ready to purchase, when his friend finally called back. His friend couldn't afford it, but settled only for 250 rounds. My brother said people were hanging around the table waiting to see if he was actually going to buy it all. The second he released the 1750 rounds he decided not to buy, it was gone in less than a minute. He said a fight almost broke out. It's getting ugly out there.

FIREARMS PRICCE REQUEST?
I put one in over a couple of weeks ago and didn't get one response. Luckily, I found it elsewhere. That's the 2nd time it's happened. I've given up.

legislative strategy
I wonder if she was rubbing her crotch with each bill that was voted out of committee?

Carroll vs Cryan on News12 this weekend
Amazing how the game works, right? It all has to do with playing on emotions by using the death of a kid as the example. He could have used the deaths of any one of the 5 other people who died, but he didn't. It's pretty much the same with the shooting in Connecticut. What you hear are emotional pleas for gun control in honor of the kids. Nothing about the adults. It's all about evoking emotions to cloud the issue. They blow smoke and let emotions take care of the rest.

Carroll vs Cryan on News12 this weekend
He's a DB. If not for his little Christine Green analogy, he wouldn't have anything to argue the point. Loughner used a 33-round magazine. Christine Green was killed with #13 of 33. After firing 33 rounds, he fumbled the full one when he went to reload. In his hypothetical way, he's saying that if it was a 15-round magazine (which is what we used now) , and he emptied it and fumbled the re-load, Christine Green would still have been killed. But, if it was a 10-round magazine, she would have been spared. So, in backing his way into a safe round count he can still use the death of Christine Green to make his point. There are many democratic legislators across the country who are trading on the death of Christine Green to make that same point. It's shameful when lawmakers have to stoop to that level. I'm convinced most politicians are slime balls.

Allison McHose. She needs to rile things up by proposing 2A bills. Problem is, they'll never make it to committee because of the DB Oliver.

Nope. Just had my visitation yesterday. It is a pretty sweet gun for the money. He said 3-4 business days for the background check to come back, then I can bring it home.

They have no qualms about stealing away your 2nd amendment rights. Stealing them away is even easier for them if they've never experienced using or owning a firearm. At that point, they figure that the 2nd amendment doesn't apply to them, so it's not important that it's being taken away. They won't understand that notion until other rights are denied that do apply to them. Same with the liberal media and the sheepies that they feed their crap to.

I guess I just got lucky. It was available on gunbroker, it was new and I got it at a decent discount.

Call that place where I got the kimber. I got it for $60 under msrp. They might likely have the one you want.
