any other high effiency luxury cars I should be looking at?
Not semantics. There is a minimum % of parts that must come from America and the assembly to happen in America for it to be labeled "Made in America", I am fairly sure it is 78% or so. Look at HD. Up until 1994 there was a big "MADE IN AMERICA" on the tanks. Know why it isn't there anymore? Because Uncle Sam told them to remove it because it is not true. And the import tariff is only on bikes larger than 750 CC imported into America. You know why? Because AMC HD bikes were such crap they could not compete with other brands so Uncle Sam saved the day with the tariff. I was a wrench at an HD dealer.

HD is not American Made. Assembled here? Yeah, but content % is not even close to legal requirements to say "Made in America". Japanese suspension, brakes, Canadian Frames, Japanese electric harnesses, wheels from Mexico. Only thing made in US is motor and final assembly. Honda Goldwing is more made in the USA than HD. The Honda Accord, however is over 85% made in America parts and assembly.

The other side of permit delay and gun control, silver lining?
What we need to do is get legislators in that support our beliefs. I dunno, maybe somebody like the guy in my sig.

Jersey City has processed over 200 applications in Jan and Feb. That is a five fold increase, I was told.

I am in the same boat as you. I have always been pro 2A, but never got around to getting my FID and permits. Sandy changed that. Since then, I have joined NJ2AS, gotten very serious about firearms and training and have been active in the fight for our rights. My GF was borderline anti until after Sandy. She also is now a firearm owner and active participant in the fight.

Polished the internals on my 92fs
It is smoother, no doubt, but not the night and day difference I had read about. Might be because I have 6-7000 rounds through her already. Have to play with a new 92 to feel the difference. Yes, did all surfaces, sear, hammer, trigger bar, etc. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Polished the internals on my 92fs
And the only thing accomplished is shiny internals. I just spent 3 hours polishing the internals on my 92 in an effort to get a better double action. Used several progressively finer grits is abrasive, ending with polish. All the right surfaces are shiny. I even polished some of the pins. The action is smoother, but no appreciable improvement in the pull and release. I have the D spring. Ordered a bunch of stuff today, Wolff springs, and the like. Let's see where we end up. The goal is a nice soft and smooth DA first shot. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Guy pulls gun in road rage incident.
HS tough guy, now 35, gets ass beat by HS tough guy. Its the circle of life. Dumb ass is lucky the kids let up. Wife gave him the gun after saying "leave him alone". Really? Kids were defending themselves. GO to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass Go.

101.5 this morning, re: Gun Buy Backs
I got on and was the last caller. Informed host that the gun buy backs are illegal, and since they are trumpeting 2000+ guns bought this weekend, that 2000+ crimes were committed by the police. Let him know re: only selling to FFL or to an FID holder with a COE. He noted that it was scary that the police selectively choose to not enforce the law.
