There are certainly royals who fit that description, but Queen E's WWII record always impressed me. queen-elizabeth-IIs-time-wwII-makes-her-most-hardcore-head-of-state The grandkids both had military careers; William flew helicopters, Harry even did a combat tour in Afghanistan, then founded the Invictus games. So I'd rank the lot of them a few notches above Snookie and KimK. I still didn't watch the wedding coverage, though.

How active are the collectors organizations in filing lawsuits and making campaign contributions?

So he was arguing that the only legal way to buy it was as a straw man purchase for a prohibited person? Gawd, some of the gun shop logic I've heard really gives me a headache.

You can find the requirements here, which includes a search engine for finding CMP-affiliated clubs. CMP Eligibility Requirements They don't seem to show a list of other CMP-eligible organizations, other than the Garand Collectors Association ($40), though I believe GSSF ($35) also works.

Yep. Buy the 870. Remington needs the business.

Then the members should have no trouble funding the lawsuit. Seriously, if it's important to you, make it happen. Lamenting that no one else is doing it for you, and that no one else is paying for it, isn't going to bring about change.

It'll be quieter still out of a semi-auto (no gas blasting out of the cylinder gap), but it won't cycle the action, and it may or may not feed out of the magazine.

Exactly right Individuals or groups of collectors are free to file their own lawsuits.

They're both worth it. Very different guns, no basis for comparing them to each other.

That's nice. Hope you aren't letting the purple go to waste. KY Blue, KY Purple

I think the instructions on the bag say 30 days. It's quite a bit of time. A lot of rain after application may reduce that, and if you are also putting down a thin layer of lawn soil on top of the thin spots before reseeding that will also help; it allows the seeds to germinate in untreated soil.

It was the right thing to do, and I applaud Springfield Armory for it... ...but how many Springfield guns did Dicks used to sell? I'm not sure either company will notice much of a difference.

Thanks--those are much better rates than the NRA (actually, Lockton) offers for coverage above the free $2500 that comes with NRA membership.

Can you elaborate?

Not bad, overall. A fairly accurate depiction of the process. Of course the one-gun-every-90-days bit was wrong, and I would have liked to see mention of how far many PD's deviate from the proscribed process in order to throw up additional roadblocks. I would also like to have seen the CCW numbers parsed a bit, to highlight that those CCW permits are NOT going to Joe and Jane Citizen. Kudos to Rosie and Anthony for their contributions to the story, and to Katie for coming to this forum to ask questions.

I'm a big fan of Generac...mine has been bulletproof, and the price point was good. I ordered through Amazon some years ago. Big heavy box was to be dropped curbside, but it came with a wheel kit. so I just unboxed and installed the wheels where it sat, then pulled it around into the garage. Honda does have an amazing reputation, and they're oh, so quiet.

They are. The lawsuit is challenging based on the 2nd Amendment and the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution. But Kim is the perfect face to put on the law suit. I think they have sound legal grounds to challenge in court, but they are wise to also consider the court of public opinion.

She arrived on the scene thinking that. She left with at least a dim realization that a plastic badge handed out for a volunteer position at a non-LE agency doesn't mean much. To paraphrase Sheldon Cooper, '...and here's my Justice League membership card, that doesn't prove I know Batman'. That's right, I quoted Thomas Fuller AND the Big Bang Theory in the same thread. 10X, Renaissance Man.

You may be right. It was approved as part of Prop 63 in 2016. The mail order ban kicking in first, the background check provision to take effect next year.

This will be one to watch. Kim Rhode, NRA sue to overturn CA law blocking mail order sales and requiring background checks for ammo purchases Six-time Olympian Kim Rhode is the perfect plaintiff. I remember an interview she gave during the Olympics in 2016, when the law took effect, in which she said she shoots two cases of shotgun ammo a day in training, and having to find it at retail AND undergo a background check for each purchase would destroy the ability of competitive shooters in California to compete.

NJ Fish and Game could fine them, and take away their concession to sell hunting and fishing licenses, but they don't have the power to force a retail establishment to close.

I'm really enjoying the way this whole story is playing out... It seems there was quite a disconnect between her perceived importance, and the clout that actually comes from working for the Port Authority. I always liked the Thomas Fuller quote: "Let not thy will roar, when thy power can but whisper."

Apart from the evil features list for semiautomatics, the state of NJ has its own list of evil features. They include the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, plus a host of unelected power-hungry bureaucrats. Sadly, this list of evil features isn’t capped at 2.

Other math to weigh is how much would your shooting have improved if you spent the extra $1000 on practice ammo instead of glass. That's not an easy question to answer, and I'm certainly not pretending I know what would have been more beneficial. But when I'm considering an upgrade to something expensive, I always ask myself what I think would happen if I instead put the money towards more practice and more matches.

I'll bet if you think harder about it, that trip was just before the law changed...
