Just a point of clarification. It was indeed a mass shooting. Not sure why you would want to spin it the way you did.

No discharge allowed.

That range never opened and never will There is a new range “Range 129” about to open in Absecon. It should be open by June. And they will have 100 yard indoor!

Didn’t the Supreme Court already declare this unconstitutional, or was that a district court I’m thinking of.

I bought two pounds of A5 last year from Crowd Cow. The next offering they have is A5 but the cows eat olives. It will be selling for $300 lb.

My favorite ever, “Luke’s steakhouse” in Northfield NJ is gone. But Del Frisco’s in Philadelphia is a good replacement. Had an amazing Tomahawk there last year. Will be going back this June. Also, I don’t know what kind of crack they put in their creamed spinach, but it is among the best side dishes I’ve ever had. https://delfriscos.com/steakhouse/philadelphia/menus/dinner/

I believe the law took effect this February.

Thanks for the heads up. I just bought more ammo that I don't need. LOL

We need to do all we can to break the stereotypes. Last weekend I took a fence-sitter and another who was deathly afraid of guns to Cedar Creek Sporting clays. The young man there wearing a t-shirt that had "Liberalism is a mental disorder" printed on it isn't making our task easier, that's for sure. Fortunately neither of them spotted him, and they both had a blast, and can't wait to do it again, as well as get out to the indoor range to try some handguns. We had a great talk on the way home about the laws on the books and in the pipeline, and both of them were repeatedly saying "That doesn't make sense", and "That seems like nothing but trying to punish gun owners" etc. That is how we win.

Educating antis is one of the best things we can do to move the pendulum our way. One of us can't educate all of them, but all of us can educate many of them, and that can make a real difference.

One bite at a time. Besides not sitting silent when friends regurgitate Mom's demand talking points, one of the best things you can do is get people to the range. Make them see the stereotypes they have been fed are wrong. Let them see a 4473 and how there are not one but TWO questions about race. Let them see that if they use medical marijuana they can't own a gun. It might not convert them, but it plants the seed, and that is powerful. And thanks for the mea culpa. So rare these days, kudos to you.

With the last paragraph you answered your own question. But you also moved the goal posts o include a time frame. I didn't give any time for change to be enacted, while you just said " to even think of being able to sway it - if you think you can - you are delusional". That statement is the definition of "defeatist". How many anti people have you brought to the range this month?

If you think effecting change is delusion, then how do you explain ANY of the change you have seen in your lifetime. What a defeatist attitude!

Cute. Not offended at all. Just pointing out that you replied to me but your text seemed like it was a response to someone else. I will be okay regardless of what you do, don't flatter yourself.

Doesn't address one thing I said, but okay.

Do you really think when I said “moving in the wrong direction” I was talking about changing the locale of my domicile ? Really? And how exactly, does becoming a citizen of another state improve you ability to change the shape of politics in your previous state more effectively. I’d love to hear that one. If you want to move, fine, we all have to do what’s best for ourselves. But don’t pretend that you are going to solve the problems of progressivism spreading by doing so.

Yeah, stating that in MD permits are attainable is like saying if you like your doctor you can keep him.

Moving in the wrong direction is moving in the wrong direction. I know exactly what passed in Vermont. I also know what passed in Florida, PA, and how Virginia escaped gun control this year thanks to a coin toss. we are on the front lines of this battle here in NJ. Running from the front line won't stop the spread.

Yeah, it must suck having tourism fueled by law abiding citizens who want to taste the freedom your state offered. Let's quash that right away. Does that sound like a Republican idea?

And you think you are the only one feeling that? People too dumb to realize those taxes are the result of democratic policies also move due to the pain, and then vote as they always have. Moving isn't going to solve anything, it will just delay it for you.

Loophole? You sound just like Shannon Watts. I notice you also missed the point of my post. I'll reiterate it to make it clear. Moving won't solve the problem. The problem will only grow without people fighting it.

You sure did miss something. The tide of gun control passing states we thought were safe. If you want to try to make it seem like this isn't bad simply because it doesn't effect PA residents yet, you truly do have your head buried.

If anyone thinks that moving will solve the problem, especially after the changes in PA, FL and VT recently, it is those people who have lost touch with reality. Nick is absolutely right. If you want to ignore reality and take the easy way out, maybe you guys should join the progressive movement.

Link doesn't work.

Was just about to post this. Man you're fast. Remind me never to get into a duel with you.
