"A Winner Is You" love those crude translations from the NES games. The intro music for that game is identical to another game I had when I was a kid..youtube confirms

Check out DeNiro's production company employees responding to requests to ban guns from their movies. http://www.theprojectveritas.com/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=158 Let's test the strength of their convictions

Here is the raw tape of the interview finally uploaded. Mr. Clarke is a great man

According to NYPD, a 12 gauge is a "luxury" and terrible for self defense. Stick to bleach and rape whistles, little one

There should be another video of that interview without all the cuts..I will look for it

I am very well versed on Warren v. DC. The video is intended to be taken with a grain of sarcasm --we already know the police can not physically protect you, nevermind that they are lawfully not obligated to. But hearing it this way is sometimes more appealing to your average Joe who doesn't care about seemingly obscure supreme court cases. Of course they don't have to do anything ,and everyone should be prepared to protect themselves. This is one way to show the laymen the truth the media doesn't want you to realize. We have politicians glazing our eyes over with talk of rape whistles, call boxes, safe zones, urinating yourself, puking on a perp...the list goes on and it's disgusting. This shows to everyone the candid responses of law enforcement (whose fault it is NOT That these things happen) but rather, the fault of the politicians who set up restrictive laws that allow these things to happen and condition people to rely on government to solve their problems and protect their lives. When Biden is advising you to do something that law enforcement would have you jailed for, it's poignant content.

for the sake of comedy, and I don't know how many of you out there are chemists, but look up what would happen if you were to mix bleach and ammonia.... The NYPD is now on record saying what Biden recommended everyone do is patently illegal.

The police say everything we already know - but with all the topic about women resorting to whistles, urine, and call boxes, its important to highlight the police, in moments of candor, admitting they can't always be there to protect you. Furthermore, the idea of legally acquiring a gun takes "months" to "a year" - and is a "luxury". Sheriff Clarke, who was insulted by Piers Morgan on his show for suggesting people should take firearms safety classes and protect themselves. Wonder if Piers will respond? Check it out:

Just realized I posted this in the wrong forum..should have been in Bucket 3 or general

If you've seen "Brick City" the miniseries, you will remember McCarthy who worked with Cory Booker in Newark. Check out what he's been saying lately at his new assignment in the gun-violence mecca of America http://www.redstate....-public-safety/

Is the area you are looking to buy in St. Augustine? I know some people that moved to the Palm Coast area which isn't too far from there, but they say it is very quiet in that area with not much to do. But if you are looking to be left alone, they say it is perfect

Were you there at the Ethical Society forum? I was. I can assure you it hurt us more than it helped. I didn't say that as a blanket statement, I meant it specifically in regards to the way this meeting transpired. I am not talking about the trenton hearing which is a completely different context in which people were denied the ability to speak (I was there too). Our audience was not the statists on the panel at the front of the room in Teaneck. The intended audience was the 50% of the room that was for the legislation. When someone spoke quietly and calmly to them, we had their undivided attention and they answered questions given to them sincerely. When people started berating others, they then also responded with yelling. It just makes you look bitter, and it makes them think further "i can't believe this maniac has a gun. he's scary". You have to consider who the audience is and what the most effective way of communicating with them is

I have to give an opinion. We need to refrain from yelling and shouting while the antis speak. It doesn't help. Yes, I know the lies they perpetrate can be unbearable to hear, but all the other side sees and hears are a bunch of people that can't control their emotions, therefore how can they be trusted with a gun? It's unfair, it's frustrating, but we can't shout at them while they have the floor. We have to methodically refute them when it's the proper time to speak

Quite the opposite. Talk to him in private, where he is more inclined to say salacious things. Just record it. None of them are going to let their guard down at some public event or hearing. That's not where you will get them

My florida went in around Dec 16, still don't have it, so we are definitely over the 8 week mark.

every single contact you have with any representatives should be recorded. If it is in person, at a minimum, audio record. If you are not, don't bother

It was posted some time back

you can do that. You can pay for it, they put it away in their safe, and you only come in to do the legal transfer and NICS check once the 30 days have lapsed. Just don't initiate the NICS until that time.

NYT picks up http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/14/nyregion/new-jersey-assembly-committee-approves-tightening-gun-laws.html?_r=0 This is why I don't believe in people dressing in these costumes and camo. It gives the mainstream press a tool to demonize us. It may not be fair, but you have to understand their tactics. you need to stop dressing in three-corner hats and other dumb costumes. Everyone should be in suits or presentable outfits. you will be taken more seriously. this will be dismissed as "another dumb tea party rally" whether the statement is fair or not

good, then everyone should be walking right into his office, in person, recording, and asking him to surrender his permit. If he says no, then ask him why his life is more valuable than yours. Then shutup, and sit in silence until he responds. this is a dynamite youtube clip. This guy thinks he is better, smarter, more entitled then you, the people who vote him in. Make him go on the record with that sentiment and then take it to the public. If I had known this was the case yesterday, I would have had this brought up in testimony. I can't believe nobody mentioned it. That uncomfortable situation would FORCE the press to cover the issue. "Rep pushing strong gun control has permit to carry that no citizen can attain" Think Alinsky. There is no answer to that uncomfortable question that he can make that makes him look innocent. He will look like a colossal prick no matter what. In all likelihood, he will abstain from answering the uncomfortable question directly, which will make him look equally bad. You guys have all you need. He should be your 100% focus

I have quoted Saul Alinsky and his Rules For Radicals on this board before and I was laughed at. This is precisely what you need to do. Yesterday should have been a clear message to everyone that you can not have a conversation with these people. It doesn't stimulate them, and they don't respond. And they don't care. They don't respond to logic, so you have to appeal to their fear. I have been championing Alinsky all along because his tactics are neutral to ideology. His words: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it" "...make them live up to their own book of rules." This is precisely what I have been saying. This philosopher was good enough for our President, and this relative nobody with 2 years of senate experience is now a two-term president. It must be effective. If Cryan has the CCW, he can be the lynchpin to this argument. Make him live up to the book of rules we all have to abide to. As you now know, the democratic process will yield nothing for us, as they don't listen and will ram through whatever legislation they please. You need to ambush these people Jason Mattera style with cameras and make them answer on tape if they have a CCW.. or turn it around on them--ambush them without them knowing you are recording on your iPhone and say " I know you have a CCW but no average citizen can get access to this permit, how can we make it available so that all law abiding citizens can get what you have?" Notice I didn't ask him if he has one, I made the assumption. If he doesn't have one, he will deny it. If he does, he will say "I am not talking about this" or will walk away from you. That is your public confirmation that he does have it, and you now have a campaign video against the very person who sponsored multiple bills assailing second amendment rights. This could be even juicier - NJ2AS could hold a drive for a cash prize, maybe $10,000. Hold a press conference and say "we know that legislators in our statehouse have CCW permits that our own citizens can not attain. The first journalist to uncover a minimum of 2 individuals who have them that sponsored any of these bills will receive our unconditional cash prize the letters, phone calls, even 1000 people filling 3 rooms and the outside courtyard of the statehouse to capacity as you saw, did nothing. I am not suggesting we stop putting the pressure on them at these hearings, but what will actually get one of them to recuse themselves from these bills is a scandal, and you must dig with the tactics above to produce that. One of these assembleyman is a hypocrite, and you have to make them squeal.

effort should be focused now on these supporters of these absurd bills. If someone here has absolute proof that Cryan has a ccw, there should be recorded phone calls and walk-up video recorded interrogations of him and his staff asking if he will immediately surrender his CCW permit to the state and cease carrying. That is, assuming it is true he has one. Don't whine to him with emails. Get him on record. Don't stop the recordings until you have them on tape admitting one way or the other. Don't just pontificate about their hypocrisy. SHOW it with proof. If him having that permit is true, the hypocrisy will do more to combat these bills than our whining. Prove that he thinks he is better than his constituents and does not deserve to respect the same laws that we must endure. So long as their is a justifiable need clause for carrying, no politician should be granted that permit any more so than your average citizen

exactly my point, they won't listen to logic. you are right... so my point stands. instead, put them on defense. Start attacking. If the point of Cryan's ccw was brought up, it would have been a theatrical dream. That room would tear him apart. No person can be taken seriously that tells you we don't deserve ccw, deserve loads of new restrictions on the already limited guns we are allowed to possess, and meanwhile walks around carrying 24/7 with police protection on his campaign stops. Challenge him to bring himself to our level. When he doesn't, he looks like a gigantic hypocritical prick. Instead, he just looked like a guy who has a different opinion than we do. It takes the conversation in a different direction. If you can't make them see the light, then simply just make them FEEL THE HEAT. sometimes its more effective with these drones.

Had privilege of spending the day in Room 4. These assembleyman spent the day whispering to their aids and playing on their cell phones when many of the speakers were testifying. The chair seemed to think this was "his" meeting, and not one for the public. They tried to vote first and then have everyone speak after (what the hell is the point then?). The chair, who is a an officer, insinuated that replacing a magazine takes 20 seconds. Count 20 mississippi's and think about that. Nora (the "navy" lady) dared to question the chair when they weren't paying attention to her, and after being thoroughly embarrassed, the chair realized his mistake and suddenly boomed over Nora and the crowd to assert this is HIS meeting and he will not be disrespected. (to those wondering about her, she's happily married.. sorry boys) The Ceasefire speakers would not answer questions directed at them. The representatives NEVER answered a direct question from a testimony. They would sit in silence. However, when they smelled a poor speaker in support of the second amendment (let's be honest, there were a handful) they pounced on them with snide comments. They chose their battles wisely. Genius tactics, attack the weak in the herd, and then abstain from responding to any questions. At this point, it isn't a dialogue. It's one side lecturing another who isn't listening, and then proceeds with their votes with their minds already made up. They hated the clapping. Multiple times they demanded the clapping to stop. The state troopers in the back-right of the room were even smirking at a few of the asinine assumptions made by the representatives. While all the bills can be argued against, some like the photo ID are literally redundant. When explained to the reps that any transaction requires a photo ID in addition to your FID, they didn't seem to know that, and didn't care. Instead, they literally voted to spend money on something that is already accomplished under current law. On a critical note, people need to abstain from these arguments about lofty idealism and dreams of a pure republic. Not because they are wrong, the points made are correct, but they do not connect or have an impact on these people. You have to make your testimonies about the actual bills. We need to demonstrate the hypocritical nature of the bills, show facts of where these laws fail elsewhere, etc. Some of you mentioned Cryan has a CCW....with those hours and hours of testimony, why didn't person bluntly say" My name is John Smith, and I have one question. Does representative cryan have a concealed carry permit granted by the state of NJ?" Put the ball in their court. Too much time was spent playing defense. The life of liberty-minded New Jerseyans is an eternal defense. You need to take the game to them. Put them out of their comfort zone. You need to ask them "if you pass these 24 bills, will any of you sign your name off and attest that you guarantee a statistical, substantial drop in gun crime in the cities of newark and camden?" (they won't, which makes for good theater). Will you all voluntairly disarm all your security details on your campaigns to mimic the protections enjoyed by the citizens under these new laws? ( they will not, again, good theater). Why is it that law enforcement, who by supreme court precedent have no obligation to protect us, get a reprieve from these gun restrictions when they are retired and no longer serving? Are there lives more important than (insert your 5 year olds name)? Why do you hate children but love retired officers? These conversations have to become much more tactically offensive. Otherwise we will spend our lifetimes defending their salvos , and they have zero incentive to stop. You have to breach their hulls. In conclusion, good fight, glad to be present among my friends and familiar faces, disgusted by the process and management of the hearing, but at the end of the day I expected nothing less than these results. It's not over.
