Mostly Hebrew National... but I like Nathan's and Sabrett. I used to like Ball Park at one time too.

I think the point about the .50cal ban is that it is very rarely ever used for any crimes. Sure, it can be used for terrorism, but I don't think it can be reliably used to shoot down aircraft. Besides, what's stopping someone from hijacking a plane and using that to crash into high value targets? It's not like anyone has done that before... and don't say the TSA because guns and bomb parts have been getting onto planes despite the TSA's best efforts. But yes, the .50cal is destructive. As is .60 and anything else. As are antique cannons, which are OK with FID because they are "historic" weapons.

I sent a note to Allison Mchose and district 24. We need to support more like them, and even dems like van drew.

Only 3% of Americans really care about gun control as a current issue. The economy and jobs is #1. Miller, Bocour and the other hacks were making you think that everyone had torches and pitch forks coming for gun owners. Reality is most don't really care, and most people support us owning and carrying guns.

I have pretty much always stayed away from the attacks on the gov's weight. I am not morbidly obese but I am not skinny either. I have a BMI of about 27 which is overweight... I know what it is like to battle with your weight, and I admire him for at least doing something about it!

I hope that a-hole didn't have a FID card. I want to see him spend at least 3 years in prison!!!

I never thought he would for a second!!! And I was wrong about one thing, him signing the .50cal bill, which I thought he'd do. But he wouldn't go and be passive. Christie is a take the bull by the horns kinda guy. He acts, even if he acts against us.

You guys who are complaining, I have one word for you: California. They have it much much worse, and it's about to get much much worse. Yes, we don't have it as good as Vermont, Utah, or Florida but I will take what I get and fight for the rest until I can move. We still don't have: 10 or 7 round mags. Yes, 15 is crappy but it's not 10 or 7. Mandatory firearm registration. Ban on internet/out of state ammo purchases Ban on detachable magazines We also held this off until mid august when the worst ultimately failed. NY, CT, CO had theirs rushed through. NY passed theirs in the dead of night and they just passed another law in the dead of night. It's not perfect and it's not what I wanted by a long shot but it's remarkable given what we had to work with. I still want to fight for my right to bear arms outside of my home even though people say it's impossible. I believe we have the momentum to push for this sort of stuff. But really you can't please everybody! Illinois got SHALL issue CCW and people are still complaining. Jeez!

I see myself getting out of here.

We won't get great judges but we will get less bad judges.

Nail meet hammer. You are absolutely correct...

It's about perspective. NY, CT and CO got reamed. California is about to get it real hard. We basically delayed this almost to the election, and got the worst of it vetoed. Now tell me that's not something you're proud of? As for the bills reaching his desk, you do realize that we are dealing with NJ democrats, many of whom know that their seat is guaranteed basically for life because they represent some urban ghetto that doesn't know how to vote any other way.

We don't have to. We really should pay back Steve Sweeney for this garbage. NJ2AS has been backing his opponent, Niki Trunk. If we get him the boot it would serve as a warning. I would like to boot Norcross, Mainor, Cryan, Lou Greenwald, Loretta Weinberg and others but let's not get ahead of ourselves here...

Absolutely... I want the full 2A restored here. Carry permits, NFA, LCMs, you name it. We probably won't get everything but we can most certainly try. I really hope that a sleeping giant has awoken. However my first order of business IF we ever get a sympathetic majority in the legislature is to amend the NJ constitution to codify RKBA, AND clarify it as an individual right like Connecticut does. Yes, I am very ambitious!!!

I agree. Frank is very much open to ideas, in fact he encourages it.

An assemblyman from the budget committee even admitted to this, that he thought that it should be extremely difficult to purchase a firearm legally. I guess he doesn't understand what the words "shall not be infringed" means.

The loaded mags thing was an opinion of Attorney Evan Nappen who said that the magazine could be construed as part of the firearm. He did not say where he got this from. It could be his own interpretation of the law OR based on an actual case that came into his office.

Yes, NO other reason but this!!!

It's all about discouraging ownership. And you know this. They want to make it as difficult as possible so people just give up. The police don't sacrifice crime fighting time to do paperwork. They just give your firearms application a very low priority.

Petition for cert for the Maryland case has been filed by the way. I would attach the doc but it is barely over the file size limit here. If an admin wants to help out and post it, let me know. http://www.dxtonic.com/woollard_petition.pdf

Not long. I think less than a month. At least that's what it took for Maryland. Incidentally I think the cert petition response is due any day now for that case.

Ah p burg! Went there to take the train ride with Thomas the other day. Kids had a blast!

True. It's a stepping stone to SCOTUS. But it had to be done.

The petition for en banc was filed yesterday.
