...yeah...thats what I said too, but someone on this forum said that in the last 2 days....I will post if I can find it

now I am beginning to see why there are 32000 CCWs in NJ........they are political gifts to "friends"

hi and welcome from Bridgewater/Raritan

$and W's canned message: "Dear (Recipient), As a law-abiding citizen and a responsible gun owner, I am deeply saddened by the recent tragedies and I support efforts to curb violence in all forms. However, I do not support the efforts of Congress, the White House or any lawmaker who seeks to restrict my rights under the Second Amendment, or to impose new restrictions on me and other law-abiding firearm owners. Rather, I support a comprehensive approach to preventing violence in our communities through a thorough evaluation of the challenges we face. That review must include the enforcement of existing laws, the need for heightened security approaches, and greater consideration on how to better manage the acutely mentally ill. As a law-abiding citizen and a constituent, I ask that you represent me in these matters. Sincerely, (Your Contact Information)" Seems awfully weak to me after some of the stuff I have written and seen others here write.....I might reword it like this: Dear (Recipient), As a law-abiding Weapons Manufacturer, We are deeply saddened by the recent tragedies and we support efforts to curb violence in all forms. However, we do not support the efforts of Congress, the White House or any lawmaker who seeks to restrict the rights of our citizens under the Second Amendment, or to impose new restrictions on our company and law-abiding firearm owners. Rather, we support a comprehensive approach to preventing overreaching Government from gaining a Power advantage, at the expense of Gun Owning citizens, through a thorough evaluation of our contracts with said Government agencies.. That review must include the withdrawl of any weapons that are not available to the general citizenry. The need for heightened security approaches, and greater consideration on how to better manage the acutely mentally ill among our Legislators is a high priority, as they should not be entrusted with weapons of greater power than those of the People. As a law-abiding Manufacturer and employer of many of your constituents, we ask that you represent us in these matters. Sincerely, The Smith and Wesson company (or company of your choice)

the only prob is they seem to be picking targets who most likely to vote in our favor, or are neutral on the issue....we may only influence the neutral ones and give symtathetic ones a good laugh.....

I will say this for him....he writes like he speaks, judging from the recording......you know its him and not canned. Does anyone who knows him, think that he is being honest in wanting to discuss it further? My guess is no. ...btw...just listened to Vlad.....a true US Citizen....made the hard way

I got the same thing....I sent:"Dear Assemblymember Mainor: Sir Roughly 300 Gun Rights supporters, myself included, and citizens of this State, lost the opportunity to go on record as being opposed to most of the Legislation that was heard yesterday..... ...there was simply not enough room in the building to contain us all....however I do feel that our opposition should be duly recorded, in order to facilitate future litigation of these measures. We should have been able to at least fill out the forms outside the building. I think you conducted "YOUR" hearing in a deliberately sloppy manner, screwing many people out of having their voices heard...and I am letting people know about it. Mike E" I got in reply: Sir, I would agree that many people was unable to be heard and some other methods should have been made to allow them to voice their opinions. I'm sorry we don't agree on the bills that was presented and it may be true that many votes were made from emotions. I would really like to meet with both groups, this way I could be educated because there is alot that I may not understand about hunters, collectors, and sports man. If you would like to discuss this further, please call my office. If I'm not there please leave your number and I will return your call. 201-536-7851. Respectfully, Asm. Mainor

sent mine....seems they are only targeting Sen Mike Doherty....a good guy, so I modified it slightly..... "As your constituent, I am writing today to ask you to reject the common sense gun violence prevention package. If we can save even one New Jerseyan from senseless gun laws, then the effort is worth it. I see this group is targetting you Mr Doherty....I have taken the liberty of modifying their canned message to suit me.....I hope you enjoy it keep up the good work Sincerely, Mike E"

AR15: Might just stop that charging terrorist with a three round burst AK47: Would stop the terrorist in his tracks Mosin-Nagant: Would stop the charging terrorist, his three buddies, and blow up the IED in the next block from the shockwave of the bullet…and break the collarbone of the shooter. love mosins, but I have to remove my dentures

I sent Mainor this: Sir Roughly 300 Gun Rights supporters, myself included, and citizens of this State, lost the opportunity to go on record as being opposed to most of the Legislation that was heard yesterday.....we were stuck outside. ....there was simply not enough room in the building to contain us all....however I do feel that our opposition should be duly recorded, in order to facilitate future litigation of these measures. We should have been able to at least fill out the forms outside the building. I think you conducted "YOUR" hearing in a deliberately sloppy manner, screwing many people out of having their voices heard...and I am letting people know about it. Mike Eaton R-23rd

Cryan's 20 second mag change must be spreading like wildfire among the State Police....then eventually to the Sheriffs....then to the Town Chiefs....the only thing he will be able to say is "I never had sex with that woman".... ...addendum....guess his Mafia buddies should be yukking it up too http://www.fivefamiliesnyc.com/2011/02/mafia-supports-assemblyman-joe-cryan.html ..I am now beginning to understand why he wants to disarm us

expect us

looks like they pulled a roast out of there this morning....now the myth starts...

maybe we should have a reference pool if they start requiring it.....should be enough communities represented here to get some semi-local references, and I, for one, would not let it languish on my refrigerator....like some of my good buddies did.

maybe they will have to buy Chinese knockoff AR's.......the ones that die after 200 rounds....or bullet proof vests stuffed with melamine...

Maybe someone would like to bring signs, in case people have to wait outside....might as well have a rally if that happens...I dont mind walking the sidewalk with a sandwich board. ....could be chanting "no new laws" on the street while the hearing is going on...

prolly could get the MADD moms together and actually start something like this.......or at least threaten to

sounds reasonable...I dont think Alcohol is protected under the Constitution......but whoever proposes this will need 24 hour police protection ;D

The Christie for Governor Campaign got me out of bed this morning with a pitch for contributions...I was sleepy and almost blew the guy off with my standard "got no money, thanks, bye"......I told him that my support for Mr. Christie would depend on his stand on Gun Control. He said that he was a Veteran and an NRA member and he would not be supporting Christie if he was not solidly behind the 2nd Ammendment......and I am afraid I went ballistic on him.... I told him that there were 43 anti-gun initiatives being brought before the NJ Legislature this month and that if Mr Christie does not trash them, he will not only not have my support, I will campaign madly against him...furthermore, I had already contributed to Christie from a mailing (which is true) sending in $20 and a note telling him he was our last best hope to squash these crazy new laws.... ....that pretty much dissolved his pitch and he said ..."hey, I am an Irishman and I am with you and thanks for yer support of the Christie Campaign...bye.... ....I imagined him wiping the spit off the earpiece, afterward.... It only ocurred to me afterward, that if he was really an NRA member, he would be aware of the fight in NJ and would be going to the statehouse with the rest of us....which would have led me to another tirade....but I was still a little groggy If you guys run into this....buttonhole the alleged NRA pitchman and get him on a bus if he is in NJ.

thats the clincher

I cant look....why cant he just learn to say 'make my day'

I think that summarizes it nicely........that answers the question "why the rush?" They believe the economy will collapse pretty soon...

got that right.....he is a moving target

I am 64 and retired and I would like to dictate the future of some Politicians who are getting stranger every time I visit the Statehouse.......

Maybe we could start with a request to collectively address the hearings with The Pledge of Allegiance, by all of us........ from what I have seen in the NY Town Meetings....that seems to ground things well.
