In I'm if anyone in union county wants to this. I'll only be available after work which is 4 p.m.

I just read this and wow. My autocorrect failed big time.

So I got a response from him today. Well it wasn't actually him just an automated response that everyone has been getting. So I sent him this: Dear Senator, I agree that what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary was a tragedy. I also agree that a parent should never have to experience losing a child in such a tragic way. However, I cannot possibly fathom how the resent bills proposed by the politicians of this state could have any impact on criminals or individuals who intend to use a firearm to commit violence. After reading a few of the bills it seems as though they will only target law abiding citizens who legally want to purchase guns and ammunition. I urge you to take some time to read over these bills and use common sence instead of this lunatic anti-gun, politically motivated mindset that is so apprent in these new bills. With that being said, if you truly want to make this state and our beloved country safe. I have a few points for you to focus on: 1. Mental health evaluation and care. It is evident that the individual who commited the hanis act at Sandy Hook Elementary was mentally troubled. 2. Stricter penalties for illegal gun possession and crimes commited with a firearm. To often do I read about individuals being able to plea bargin for less time or no time at all. They simply get probation and are able to return to their regular lives with just a slap on the wrist. I firmly believe that with stricter penalties crimes commited with firearms will significantly be reduced. My last and final point, please do not make more laws against legal ownership of firearms. New Jersey already has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, enforce the thousands of laws already on the books. I will end this with a short story. In January of 2009 I deployed with 2nd battalion 10th Marines to Al Anbar province Iraq as part of a civil affairs team. During our deployment, we used much of our time to conduct firearms excercises. After our first excercise, our Staff Sargent sat us down in a semi-circle around him and told us, "We will spend hours and days and weeks and months shooting at paper targets. I want you all to know that in the event you must use your rifle, be sure; no, be damn sure that you HAVE to use it. This rifle has no feelings, morals, or conscience; neither do these rounds. You ultimately must make the decision to pull the trigger and send rounds down range." Basically this is the old guns don't kill people, people kill people speech that,in all honesty, is completely true. Laws or no laws, an individual will ultimately have to discern right from wrong, good from bad. These gun laws do not sway criminals from commiting a crime, they only strip the law abiding citizen from a right given to him. Sincerely, Daniel Pereira P.s. I would appreciate if you personally respond to this Senator. Not an aide or send out a generic response. Thank you. Lets see if he replies with anything of substance.

Posting it on Facebook was the second thing I did. I hope this starts snow balling. The more people that are enlightened to what's going on right now, the more that can let their voices be heard.

I just did it. That was a ton faster than the first time I sent emails. Thanks for this.

The club can be no longer than 16 inches. The head of the club must be made of a soft material so you don't endanger those around you when you swing. You can not purchase golf balls from the Internet.

You did. I just contacted my buddy I left with the keys to the storage box. He's going to do this and measure the size of the block so I can fab something up at work.

This is a bit of a thread jack and I may not get the answer, but how does one go about limiting a standard capacity steel mag to a 15 rounder that is legal in NJ? I have about fifty of these in a storage box in NC and I really don't want to get rid of them as I brought them back from Iraq with me, they are the only "war trophies" I have besides the Iraqi police and army patches I traded some gear for.

I was at work when I got the email. By the time I got a chance to try and order they were sold out. Oh well the waiting begins, again.

I just tried the link but its not working for some reason. Go to bravos website, they have the demo uppers in stock for $99.

I just got the email. These are in stock right now.http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Flat+Top+%2DUpper+%2DM4+DEMO

I called the Elizabeth PD again today about my application. If anyone else remembers I called them a few weeks back and they told me my finger prints weren't back yet. So I called and spoke to the same person as last time (he even remembered my name) when I asked if they received my finger prints yet, he told me they couldn't release any information regard MY application unless they needed me to physically come down to the station. What in the fugg is going on? I swear, I wanted to reach through the phone and wring his friggin neck.

I will most definitely be contacting those people you mentioned as well as a few others. I am all for keeping guns out of the hands of criminals but Jesus, Mary , and Joseph this is absolutely ridiculous.

Called the other day. I was told they haven't gotten my finger prints back yet. I got them done early sept. I think it's time to start figuring out who's shuffling their feet.

Well I just finished pricing out the rifle. It's going to be just a hair under $1300 but it'll be set up just how I want it. Thanks for all your help everyone.

This brought a tear to my eye. You are a great person for doing this. Thank you.

I found a really cheap upper that i'm looking at buying. I know this is somewhat off the topic of lefty rifles but i didnt want to start another topic about it. If need be i'll delete this post and start one. Here is the link http://www.surplusammo.com/surplus-ammo-arms-ar15-stripped-flat-top-upper-receiver/ I'll do some more research but after reading some reviews it seems like these are very good for the price. They also have lowers as a very good price as well but they say they won't ship to NJ. Is that because of the model designation being SA-15?

Lol that's awesome. You should email them back for some more details.

Anyone ever run the badger ordnance lefty charging handle? I'm kind of falling in love with it. I like that it has a big latch on the right side and the regular latch on the other. It kind of reminds me of the charging handle I ran on my M16 when I was in the service. Anyway, I looked at all the parts you all mentioned. Great great stuff. As far as lefty/ambi parts go I'm set. Now I just have to look at all the other parts and start ordering. Thank you all again. I greatly appreciate your help.

Hey thanks for all the responses everyone. I will be doing more research from the info you all provided. Cguiro to answer your question yes, I used the M-16 left handed when I was in the Marine Corps. I don't have an issue shooting a right handed rifle and I can shoot them pretty darn good but being left handed I would like a rifle that accommodates my "wrong" handedness.

Charging handles, bolts, uppers, lowers, etc. I've been looking at all the rifles stag has but the way their ejection port covers work just gets me.

I'm sure I could search for it but I'm using tapatalk search works about as well as a flashlight with no batteries. Anyway, are there any other manufactures besides stag and rock river arms that sell lefty ar parts and rifles. I would like to do some more comparisons. Thank you in advance.

Submitted my application mid August to the Elizabeth PD and i was not given a time frame. I called this Monday and the person that answered told me that the waiting period was 3 to 6 months at minimum and up to a year. I'm going to wait until next week to call again and see what they say. Considering what a few people in here posted as their wait times i think im doing rather well.
