I love the part about the muskets. So basically what they are saying is citizens have the right to bear the exact same arms as the police and military - as that is what they had also. So, if they want to stick with that I think we should all be able to have fully automatic weapons.

You are already on this list. You have an FID card right? The NSA has monitored that you posted here and knows your IP address. And the Tin Foil in your attic has a hole in it

I don't know if it helped, but let's hope so. As one of the other posters said PLEASE be respectful in anything you write to the governor. We need his help, and the last thing we want to do is piss him off. Give him the facts and state our case, but do it nicely. Thanks

Time to go back to civics class - sorry I just could not resist. The law making process does not work that way. The assembly must pass a bill and then the senate, they are then merged and sent to the governor for signature or veto. Thus, one is worthless without the other.

They took the bill off the agenda for Monday with no real reason given.

Feel free to steal or imitate - and send to all State Senators today!!! Well we have now seen that the NJ Assembly is filled with mostly liars out to better their lot by pandering to special interest groups. The less than honorable Ass. Greenwald should be publicly humiliated for the disgrace he presides over. He has the audacity to get up on the floor and blatantly lie, introducing “facts” that are anything but facts. His, and Senator Sweeney’s, use of parents that lost their children as props to further their anti-citizen agenda is a total farce. While we feel for anyone that lost a loved one; the fact that they suffered in no way makes them experts on anything. In fact, it makes them nothing but emotional pawns for arguments that are far from fact based. If we look at the facts, which our lying representatives don’t know or won’t admit we find that Adam Lanza used 30 round magazines, further he reloaded long before they were empty. What this says is that neither 15 round magazines (which are the NJ limit) nor mini 10 round magazines would have had any impact on anything. Those are the facts. Thus, they are using these lies to harm honest citizens while giving criminals a further advantage – shame on them. Further, they provide ZERO evidence, not one single case where in NJ if a gunman had fewer rounds it would have impacted anything. Why, because ammunition capacity has never been an issue in NJ. This is because criminals come prepared with many magazines, many guns, and in the case of gangs many shooters. The scared homeowner who is awoken from a sound sleep to find three bad guys with guns in his home has only what the gun he grabs is loaded with. If this bill becomes law honest homeowners will die, maybe not immediately – but mark my words it will happen. These deaths will be on the hands of Greenwald and Sweeney and any of their club of liars that vote for this. Greenwald further lied when he claimed this illegal taking of property with no compensation from the state will have minimal impact on gun owners. He falsely claims that magazines only cost $13. If that is the case I suggest that he sell every gun owner in the state replacement magazines and eat any overage out of his own pocket. That overage will be in excess of $100 million dollars. The cheapest magazine I ever bought was $30, with most being $40 or more. Further, due to limited production and demand, 10 round magazines generally cost significantly more than 15 round magazines. Lastly, there is almost no market to sell used 15 round magazines into, and if there were you might get about $5 – so this just steals money from legal citizens – shame on you!!! If our representatives in Trenton wanted to do something to reduce gun violence they would table this stupid proposal and do something to go after the people that commit gun violence. I propose they mandate strict prison terms for anyone that uses a gun against another human in a non-defensive shooting. How about a mandatory 1 year in prison for each and every bullet fired in a criminal episode. While that might not stop all criminals, at least it would get them off the streets so they could not shoot honest citizens like what happened at the Short Hills Mall. Why do they only talk about Sandy Hook not Short Hills? Is it because their current gun laws only stop law abiding citizens from legally carrying concealed guns while allowing criminals to do so with almost total impunity? Any honest person that looks at facts, not emotions, would see that those in the Trenton State House are dead wrong on this issue.

What town are you in? Perhaps someone here is in the same town and can give you a specific answer for that town.

I wish I had your problem. This is a problem thanks to the scum in Trenton that the average citizen is not impacted by since we cannot carry a gun in public

Just got an email from Ken that due to snow still in the bays the match is cancelled

Wish I could go give them hell. This would be a good event to go educate some fools at. It is always instructive to explain the FID / P2P system here in NJ. Too many of these jokers think you just get $200 cash and walk into a Walmart and buy a gun. They are so clueless.

Wait a second, so the argument is that because they have been violating our rights for a long time with "justifiable need" that it should be accepted? How is that any different than slavery or blacks in the back of the bus, they were allowed for many years too. All of these things are plain wrong, the SCOTUS fixed the examples I gave, its time for them to fix justifiable need too.

No clue, but I'll bring my night vision goggles just in case

Finally, thank you! I have been wondering all day what the F they were talking about when they said Magazine-clip.

I don't think he is smart enough to do what he did. He interrupted the person and said "I don't know what this CCW thing is you are talking about" and others on the panel might not either. If he knew I would have expected him to say something like some people here might not know what CCW stands for I would like to clarify it or would you clarify it.

I was listening to the testimony in Trenton today on the internet. Our side did a great job of presenting our case, but of course they did not listen. The amazing thing was that the joker Mainor who is a cop had to stop a speaker to ask what this CCW thing was that he was talking about. He said he did not know and imagined others on the committee had no idea either. These are the jokers that make our laws

Wait a minute, are you saying it is possible for a bad guy to go a few miles to PA and legally buy 30 round magazines? But NJ only allows 15 rounds, and wants to drop that to 10. If the idiot Dems in the swamp of the Trenton Statehouse have their way instead of the criminals having a 2:1 (30 vs 15 round) advantage they will have a 3:1 (30 vs 10 round) advantage over honest citizens. I knew Steven Sweeney really hated honest citizens, I just did not realize by how much.

Sounds like a great time to be had, unfortunately I found out too late and the wife made plans for us already I hope everyone has a great time, sounds like a lot of fun.

Does not sound possible. My total premium is less than $150/mo for two cars with two drivers with State Farm. Yes that includes collision with $500 deductible and comprehensive with $0 deductible. Plus I have a real live agent that I can stop in and see at anytime.

If you have never drawn from a holster or holstered a gun, competition is really not the place to be learning this skill. This is probably one area where the most negligent discharges take place when handling a firearm. I would urge you to go take a lesson and practice this before you try doing this in competition both for your own safety and the safety of others around you.

I have State Farm since the start of time and have always been very happy with them.

You just had to go spread the word didn't you Bob? Now there will be even more people and it will probably be dark when its over. Thanks for nothing

I have ordered many thousands of rounds from them. I had the same situation with one 9mm round, and they sent me a free box to make up for it too. I normally order the reloads but for some reason did order some new stuff once. I used all but one box about six months earlier. When I used the last box I had a few light strikes. I emailed them and they researched it and ended up sending me three boxes free to make up for it. I have never had another company stand behind their products like this.

And this is major news why? Who cares?

Well I have used Freedom Ammo in many sizes with no problems. I had one issue with some light strikes from one box, and they replaced it with three boxes - that is great customer service. I would not be too concerned with the gun blowing up, as I think you would have a darn hard time proving it was caused by any specific ammo. Even if the round had a name on the casing how are you going to prove it wasn't reloaded.

Welcome to competitive shooting, glad you enjoyed.
