wooly bugger

In one of the articles, Bluejersey claimed that we were being compensated for skipping work. Hilarious. Why does everyone think the NRA is a mouthpiece of the industry? Are there any hard numbers on the amount of industry money they get? I remember seeing somewhere on an anti site that they got about $40 million over 5 years. But I read somewhere else that they have a $200 million annual budget. That seems way high. But if it's true, industry is a small part of contributions.

what is it?

They do.

bs. Look what he said in the nj.com article. He's playing a good game, and he's going to go back to his masters and tell him what productive conversations he had. Don't give him the ammunition.

I know what I learned in school and what I know from experience. Here's how it goes: The judicial branch: SC The executive branch: President The legislative branch: President, SC, and, oh, there's that congress thing. Regardless, it can't hurt to call Christie's attention to the major malfunction that is his legislature.

One more idea. In all your letters/emails to the assemblymen, include this link to "you got knocked the fck up," with a comment that this is what the chairman of the Law & Public Safety committee "likes." (you are writing to all your assemblymen right?) Here's the link. https://www.facebook.com/pages/You-Got-Knocked-The-Fck-Out-Man/204560976351317?ref=ts&fref=ts

Well, after the article posted in this thread, he's played his hand. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/48820-njcom-writes-article-about-mainors-inappropriate-fb-likes-haha/ Do NOT speak with this man unless it's being recorded.

Just fired off a letter to Christie. Anyone know how committee chairmanships are chosen? If not by Christie, I guess the email is kind of irrelevant, but can't embarrass the guy enough. Dear Governor Christie, I wanted to call your attention to the following article: http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2013/02/jersey_city_assemblyman_defend.html Mr. Mainor is a disgrace to your administration and has no moral authority to defend "Law & Public Safety." I hope you will replace him with someone more suitable.

This is great. Comments are pouring in at greater than one a minute.

Here's a letter I'd like to send. I've already sent in an op-ed, so they may not want two comments from the same person. If anyone wants to submit under their name, it's yours. Just let me know, so there aren't multiple submissions. It is disingenuous of Mr. Mainor to attribute the latest revelations of unprofessional behavior to a smear campaign by gun owners. The wave of anger was triggered, not by opposition to his views, by his unprofessional and arrogant conduct in last week’s Law & Public Safety Committee meeting--of which he is chairman--and the contempt shown by the committee toward the rule of law. I was present at the meeting last week. The committee attempted to ramrod an unprecedented 23 bills in a 3 hour meeting, leaving under 8 minutes per bill for discussion. In the meeting, Mr. Mainor attempted to force an early vote, before accepting public testimony. Neither Mr. Mainor, nor anyone else on the committee, could comment intelligently in defense of the bills, and several members, including Mr. Mainor, displayed a shocking ignorance of current laws and of the guns they seek to regulate. In the end, all 23 bills were rubber stamped. The whole charade was a travesty of justice. Mr. Mainor is unworthy of his position, and it is frightening and hypocritical that he is allowed to carry the very guns seeks to outlaw.

I love it! I will contribute to hiring one model/um...worker to show up. We can dress her in a pro-2nd amendment shirt and tight shorts.

Who's Anthony Colandro and what was his involvement?

Restraining order should be no prob. Cryan had one against him, and look where it got him! /sarcasm off

The second one in recent memory. There was that student in upstate. I just wish this had been an ordinary civilian instead of a guard.

The antis think all these telescoping stocks are "folding," so you can fit them into your pocket. I haven't seen a folding stock in a long time.

Just the crowd you hang with. Look who'se representing us. Mine in 27 sponsored the 5 capacity limit.

I think you're right. Don't discuss on public forum. Does someone know a lot about this subject, and maybe people meeting with him can discuss over PM?

will a pocket recorder pick up a conversation? Think you need something closer to the source.

The pols can gloat all they want. The rubber will hit the road when jobs are lost and a citizens' backlash forms

I'm sending thank you notes to each of these companies and letting them know how much good will they're generating. Midway really has our back. My only disappointment is that they won't ship legal magazines to anyone in ny.

Speaking of BB guns, now they're going after airsoft.

As a life member, I kind of agree. I just made significant donations to ANJRPC and NJ2AS. That's where my money's going from now on. The only good things about the NRA to me is the lifetime membership to American Rifleman and the benefit of adding a number to their membership to help them exercise general clout. Right now, I'm a lot less worried about things at the national level, but when that becomes a worry, I'm glad to have them.

Does anyone know the best way to "wear a wire?" Frankly, I'd be nervous to do it with an armed, somewhat erratic detective.

I, too am disappointed. But, they were also slow in NY, and now they seem to be paying more attention. If Scott Bach is on here, maybe he could evaluate, as he's on their board. Remember also that ANJRPC is the state subsidiary, so the action may be coming through them.

I'm thinking just ask for the towns in the districts of interest. E. g. The ones in Cryan's
