That is right - the Socialist are not reasonable nor do they play fair...NRA is all we have...Actually, no matter what happens the hard initial stand was the best way to start the bargining (if that is what it comes to).

Got my call yesterday after waiting 6 calander days.

Just got the call at 1:00 today...Baby is now home... This is at Shore Shot - they faxed it about 10:30 last Thursday - so almost a week... I feel relieved and feel for you guys - the waiting is not fun...

Merry Christmas to all!!! I pray that the Lord guides us as a collective society with wisdom to make the correct choices about moral values, mental illness management, security protection, and gun saftey - in the hopes that CT event will never happen again. God bless!

Excellent!

i called my ffl - said it is taking 3-4 days, not sure how brocs ffl got it in 4 hours...maybee different nics offices for diffent nj areas?

nothing on my side - guess wednesday - very strange they faxed it last Thursday.

Mach, Broc, How about we give each other a heads-up when we get the call - so the other 2 know when to get after their FFL...I'm thinking if not today "has" to be wednesday.

Thanks folks, I hope I get that "majic" call tomorrow - buying these guns turns us all into chilren again feeling like it is Christmass Eve ;-).

Been waiting for approval since Thursday....Is NICS open tomorrow, Monday, the 24th?

LaPierre did a great job of blasting Mayor Bloomberg - all the Bloomburg buddies, socialits, sports idols etc get Carry's - average smo gets nothing... In fact, talked to my Buddy from NYC yesterday - a long term gun guy...They confiscated his AR some years ago (forced to sell it or go to jail). So it can happen to you/me also.. I am not in total agreement with LaPierre (i am against mega-mags), but the NRA is all we got and net-net are doing a good job considering how the Social Propaganda machine is stacked against him...Besides, NRA is all we got...He inspired me with his passion for our rights today and I am going to do my small part by donating $1,000 today...We need to get behind the NRA.

The Meet The Press Host is pretty fair... There is that other host, Piers Morgan from England that is truly a foul man...He invited some Gun-Guys on last week and because they had different views then Piers, he called the "liars" and "nuts" - so at least the Meet the press guy is being reasonable.

LaPierre is doing very well! Remaimber, the media is staked against him.

I find it "funny" that if we can't have a "perfect" solution; many folks want no solution... Improvement and still not perfect is a very honerable thing as a start... We need the guards for now with ARs...We can't lay this totally on teachers with Carry permits - although they are welcome to help out... I also find it ironic that many folks here against the Guard short term solution - make the same limited (IMHO) arguments as the Socialist/Democrat comunity. Isn't it ironic that big Gov't Socialist don't want police is schools? Yes, you got it, their priority is taking your guns away rather then protecting the Kids. You have two short term solutions, put the guards in (NRA/my proposal); or give up some of your Gun rights (Socialist proposal).

Right to self defense is a fine concept which I fully support! Applying that to 3-6 year olds in a public place is misplaced. We can't give 3-6 year olds carry permits. So this is the governments responsibilty...Using a word like "fortress" is disingenues...A cop or two is not a fortress - wish it were...Very few teaches will arm themselves - and you are back to square 1....Need the professional-protectors (in whatever form that might take) in this case...The government wasts so much dam $$$ - to deprive children of safty based on $$$ is bizzar...I think theFeds should fund it - lets get the priorities straight - he can just print it like he always does....It is good to have core values such as: Responsibility of protecting yourself; Small Gov; Min gov spending; etc. But again, there are no absoluts on this planet, and if there was ever a reason to modulate these views some, protecting inocent children in school is one of them...Print the money, Hire the Cops/professionals, protect the Kids!

Have to put armed guards in schools...Obama has armed guards why shouldn't kids who are "forced" to congregate in school (not everyone can afford a private tutor)...As a society, we owe it to the kids that they are SAFE as best as we can reasonably make it...Kids can't protect themselves, society HAS to do it...I am a small gov-guy, but there are no absolutes on this planet...We do need government for (some) things..If they can't protect our kids - what good is it? Put the cops, hire/train vets - whatever, has to be done...If you don't support this, just adds another excuse for the Socialists to take your guns away. The NRA quick short-term fix is armed guards; the Socialist short term fix is to take your guns away; Pick One! ...After we have police in schools (or at same time), we must address Societal Values, Mental health management, tightening up the screening process & training for gun owners (yes, I beleive in gun rights but also believe someone carrying a gun should be highly qualified/stable), and no mega-magazines (small reasonable concession - which makes sence and already in NJ - not willing to stipulate a # - feel free if you want to). Throw in no bayonet lug if it makes them happy too. Ditto from person above this is (the) big fight.

Thanks Mikey...Do they lower the Recoil? Do They effect accuracy either way?-Joe

Hi Folks, Want to get the perspective of (1911 - full size) owners as if they think the Shok-Buffs behind the spring on the guide are worth using (please no finacial analysis - they are darn cheep ;-)). 1) Do they have any effect good or bad on recoil? 2) Do they have any effect good or bad on accuracy? Thanks! -Joe

I read the transript - didn't see the video...I was suprised so many of you are unhappy about what they said...I thought they made many good points about putting armed gaurds at schools...Why wouldn't we do that as a (last) point of defense for the kids... I also like the comments about videao games and mental health - they MUST point this out to enlarge the conversation...Otherwise, the gun cammunity alone will be asked to make all the concessions... Besides, what did you expect them to say? If they gave concessions you wouldn't like that... Net Net - I was impressed with their approach...Real short term solution to harden the target...Leading the training...Poining out the "real" root causes - and willing to talk more about longer term solutions... The media, they will say horrible things no matter what the NRA did today - unless of course the NRA totally capitulated...They are in a no win and I think did well... Not sure why our society has issues with armed guard in schools - for now it is the best thing we can do in the short term.

Sorry keep posting in wrong topic - what happens with too many windows.

Download the PDF on the Web if you missed it...They make many good pints...Why does the president (for example) have armed gaurds 24X7 but not our children in school? They propose employing vets, retired cops etc to change this as school marshels..And will lead the training program...No concesions on gun ownership - say it can be debated later - but need to stop dam leaking now... I continplated this over last few days...I was very shaken by those kids being killed...And (IF) we can majically get rid of all guns - ie from Bad Guys first - I might think about giving up mine...I will know it is time to do this, when the Seactete service gives up there guns, the police give up theirs (like england)...We of course know bad guys will always have guns and that is why cops and SS have them too...And why it is my right to have them also...I a m ok with putting a chip on them that detects if someone goes in a school zone. Of course, if gov't wants them - not much I can do about it...Cuoma is calling for Confiscation as an option - Guess he means NY-state cause they already started that in NYC. This is going to be a long tough fights over 2nd amendment...Very tough with the Socialist propaganda machine so strong. -'S! http://home.nra.org/#/nraorg

Poor judgement posting this. Not funny either.

They are out of stock on all the Benelli's but thanks for the idea.

Thanks for all the views folks - I decided to go with the M2 with confetech and gost rings..Wasn't the $600 bucks savigns but rather a lb lighter (i appreciate this after standing shoots with my beloved M1A - which is a heavy rifle and it's only challanging aspect IMHO), seems like a simple design (all things equal simple is better), still looks very cool (ok, not quite as cool as M4)...And if iit shoots as fast as the M4 as folks imple, and is just if not more reliable ->M2 is my ticket...Now the challange of aquiring one - no easy task..Tried 4 spots already and nada.

sorry, my post above was for another topic i started today - my Bad!
