This is what grinds my gears. We go out of our way to comply with bullshit laws by not stopping for a bathroom break on the way to the range...but these guys willfully and deliberately break the law to commit nefarious voting fraud. What is our recourse? I hope the NJ2AS follows up on this, and I hope those assemblymen go to jail, or at least lose their seats get some kind of criminal record out of it. They deliberately rigged a vote to pass a law. Is it the same as breaking the law? I don't know, but it SHOULD be. Cheating to get a law passed is WORSE than breaking a law, in my humble opinion.

Isn't there some kind of legal action being taken against the Assembly? They broke the law by rigging a vote for their own ends. They should be punished! They should lose their seats and have criminal records now! How do we go about prosecuting them?

Hebrew National because as the saying goes, No ifs, ands, or butts. Spicy brown mustard and those special Hotdog Onions in Sauce. Bonus if I can get a little sharp white Cheddar on it too

Welcome to the forum! In case you haven't heard the news, we won a few victories yesterday when the Governor vetoed three bills. Celebrate a little! Also: if you value your Second Amendment rights, consider joining NJ2AS.

Wow, that is hysterical

+1 Christie is acting in his own interest. If we were some sneaky, conniving force like the media portrays us, we could manipulate him Michael Westen-style so that pro-2A concerns ARE his best interest... but we're not like that, so we can't count on CC to vote pro-2A. He will sign/veto whichever way the wind is blowing. Maybe here in Jersey, that's the best we can ask for with all the raging anti's we have. But Christie for POTUS? You have got to be freaking kidding me. There is a whole host of Republican candidates that are genuinely pro-2A and still tow the party line if you agree with the R social policies. For those who value all civil liberties and not just some, you have the Libertarian party: the unequivocal champions of freedom, including the right to keep and bear arms. Again, Christie might be the best we get in the NJ statehouse - but there are far better choices for the White House.

Psh, neither am I - I'm a lowly PhD student living humbly within my means. I chose to forego a few months of my "luxury"/discretionary spending for this bottle, but it's totally worth it since it'll last for that few months if I take my time with it

Congratulations! Best wishes to you all

Just opened a bottle of 18-year old single malt Laphroaig. Think I'll have a little toast.... To the Second Amendment. *sips*

I am indeed a member. I want to see if Frank has an offensive plan (I'm sure he does) for us to do something en masse before I run off half-cocked.

I'm totally game for this, but I want to wait and see if NJ2AS has any plans for this before we go starting anything

Here, here! Thank you, Frank!

So relieved! Think I'll open a bottle of scotch tonight

National and State Parks likely have different laws - you know, since they're regulated at different governmental levels.

Big Brother is officially here. I better go buy some tin foil. Turns out those guys were right. "I fought the Soviets. The way that government made their people live their lives was a very good reason to fight them. After 9/11, we started doing the exact same thing. I didn't spend my life fighting communists to have it come to this" quote at 4:39 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeztenbI4T8

This is the answer. Use the full power of the two-party system against them.

Let's do it! Rush Limbaugh for Democratic Governor of New Jersey! :girlwacko: Edit: In all seriousness, the bolded text is the best strategy in our state.

Hi everyone, sorry it took so long. Had lots of meetings today and forgot for a little while Thanks twentynine30s for posting the link to the FAQ in my absence. The direct link to the Party Declaration Form is here: http://www.state.nj.us/state/elections/form_pdf/party-affiliation-form-062011.pdf As the FAQ says, party affiliation must be declared 55 days before the next primary election.

Yes, you absolutely can. However, doing so will cause the state to automatically register you as a member of that party. So to keep your no-party status and do this again in the future, you have to send a party registration form (will post link when I get to a computer) to your county clerk and check the box "I do not wish to be affiliated with any party." Don't wait too long on the form because there's some party registration deadline X days before any election - I think it's 60 days but don't quote me on that. Anyway, I usually fill it out the same day I vote since it's "part of the process" for me. Next election cycle, rinse and repeat!

Well written, sir!

This is scary. I live right nearby and I've been in that GameStop several times over the last few years.... so this hits close to home I'm glad no one was seriously hurt

Double post, sorry

This ^^. I'm not sure lethal force is justified after the shooter is disarmed. Then again, it's impossible to know if the shooter has another gun/other weapon/bomb on him. Not as clear-cut as some would make it out to be. I'm amazed the media is covering this since the problem was SOLVED with a GUN. In actuality, this should be an argument FOR concealed carry! Had Bernie been carrying, he would not have needed to tackle the gunman first: he could have taken down the shooter from behind cover at a safe distance. (of course, you guys all know that already)

Godzilla 2000. Saw it when I was a little kid and my grandparents took me. It was billed as two giant godzilla creatures fighting it out. It was awful. The effects were pretty bad, and the English dubbing over the actors was the WORST dub I have EVER seen in my life (worse than the old spaghetti westerns!)
