Let's see, what else can I invent that will allow me to develop even fewer skills? What we really need is a ipad that can identify friend or foe instantly, then vaporize them with a laser beam. Or how about an iphone app that tells you where the deer SLEEP so you don't even have to learn how to HUNT anymore??

They are banned. By name. Because politicians are idiots. Literally, when it comes to firearms facts.

See? I knew some joker would chime in... ANY deterrent to keep from having to shoot someone is GOOD. We're not talking about fleeing, we're talking about "encouraging" someone to leave your home before they get shot. Always a good thing. Dog, laser, shotgun rack, the sound of the criminals' wife or mother-in-law's voice, whatever it takes. I don't WANT to put a bullet in someone. I certainly will, no problem. But if I hear "noise downstairs" I'm not thinking "oh goodie, I get to see all my range training pay off with a triple-tap center-mass hit", I'm thinking, "I hope I get the intruder to leave before I have to kill him."

I do see them as being helpful for people with sight issues (age, or whatever), for HD/SD. The "bad guy running when he sees a laser" is a good point, and goes right along with "bad guy running when he hears my shotgun rack" I posted in another thread (and was much maligned for). But I agree- it certainly can't hurt, and might keep you from having to shoot someone. That being said, I don't have lasers on my pistols, and have no desire to. But for my 77-year-old mom who doesn't train? Sure. I do feel like the "laser thing" can almost be lumped in with the "zombie thing" at this point, the marketing trying to make you feel unsafe or incomplete without it.

i'm glad that this seems to be BS. But it wouldn't surprise me on any given day if something like this popped up and wasn't BS. The attitude of alot of people here regarding new possible gun legislation is, frankly, scary. As if control of the House is going to guarantee we have nothing to worry about for the next 4 years. With RINOs in the lead? Head in the sand anyone? If it would truly surprise you that Obama would "try anything" regarding gun control, you're a fool. He's the most arrogant president in recent memory, signing executive orders for things he can't get passed legislatively. And don't let constitutional procedure bother you- he, and the supreme court, surely don't.

I'd just settle for them to stop WASTING MY MONEY on all the damn mailings they do... I just re-upped about a month ago, and I get a letter YESTERDAY asking me to renew my membership already!! Really burns me, the kind of money they waste. That's why I VASTLY prefer the GOA.

"pointless" is the sticking point there. I'm sure arguments can be made that, thru US efforts, the terrorist networks have been weakened (at least insofar as attacking the US), therefore, it's quite possible civilian lives HAVE indeed been saved. Personally, I say bring the troops home, and probably a long time ago. However, I would also act autonomously and destroy Iran's nuclear capability myself (or help Israel do it), as well as continue the drone attacks- terrorist enemies of the US dead, no US lives lost.

Amen to that. "Warhorse" was a GREAT movie tho.

Hey, just to be clear... no sympathy for the enemy. Just saying that footage is more in the "war is hell" category than the "ooh-rah" gung-ho category. If I was on that chopper (helo for you navy boys) , I'd be doing the exact same thing. Still not easy to watch. But then, I'd have a much harder time killing a deer for food than I would a human who was threatening my life. As I was watching, the only ones I felt sorry for were the animals.

Wow. Nothing "cool" about that- it's war. I sure wouldn't want to be fighting US. As much as I love, respect, admire, and am grateful for, the military, that's gruesome... even thru a FLIR camera. It's really weird... I've seen alot of war footage, and so much of it plays like an action movie made in hollywood... but watching a taliban fighter, already wounded and crawling for his life, disappear in a cloud of machine gun fire.... whew....

I'm quite sure Walmart can afford enough legal counsel that that is NOT the case. They aren't going to risk a lawsuit. It's not a willy-nilly decision on their part, they have a map, in the gun dept, provided by WM, showing what states they can and can't sell to, as I said- there are a few, FL being one, but NJ is A-OK. And I'm sure I'm not the first non-contiguous-state resident to have purchased from WM. If they were violating law, the OH attorney general would be on it.

There were states that you could NOT buy from, Florida was one of them. Which surprised me, as FL is a pretty gun-friendly state, and I'm guessing it's FL's law, not Ohio's, that stops FL residents from buying in Ohio? (after reading Bob's post)

in case anyone is interested.... Despite the laws cited above, I purchased a 10/22, in Ohio, as a NJ resident, no issues at all. This was at a Wal-mart.

Ha! Please do!

This is for a Mini30, nobody makes 15 round mags for it (that I have found), AND all reports are the gun works much better with RUGER mags. Ruger makes a 20, so it would need to be blocked to 15.

Yes, they would be steel.

That's what I thought, just verifying.

Looking to get some 20 round mags (which I don't have yet) pinned to the legal 15 round limit. Is this a DIY thing, or do I have to take it somewhere? Also... I've read there is no such thing as "pre-ban" in NJ, so that would mean and pre-ban 20-30 rounds mags would be illegal, if if they are "pre-ban"? Correct?

I'm currently broke!

Every time another news/political/Obama administration story appears, I just buy more ammo and supplies.

Looks good!! Where did you get the clamp?

"not expecting anything".... meaning I'm not automatically expecting an intruder to leave at the sound of a shotgun being racked. But it certainly does happen. On the whole (to your point), I take nothing for granted, which is why I am prepared. Nice try, tho.

Hung

no no... the mercenaries will be the law-abiding gun owners who actually believe the constitution and bill of rights still matters.

Really. Shocking. Seriously- people live there, it's a mailing address, I figured it should therefore be on the list.
