I do realize that, but I doubt that any private citizen of that time would have any nukes the "Minutemen" could borrow.... Muskets? Of course. Stingers? not so much. Had they been available at that time, I wonder if the Founding Fathers would have been so "approving." Today, the govt. doesn't need to borrow weapons or munitions from "the people." They can buy their own. I get what you're saying...The RKBA must be absolute and unrestricted. Like I said, I fully support the RKBA based on the Founding Father's original intent. And I support it for all classes of conventional firearms, including NFA, full auto, etc. But I just can't fathom private citizens owning Nukes, missiles, and the like. I'd be very nervous if I saw my neighbors digging a silo in their back yard. Not only out of fear that they might not be properly trained to handle said nuke, but also, they just made themselves a 1st strike target. And I'm next door to it... If that makes me a "nuclear Fudd," then that's the price I have to pay for my beliefs. Thankfully, as you say, neither myself, nor any of my neighbors could ever afford one.

Like I said, "Maybe.... Maybe not." BTW, the above link didn't work for me.

Just out of curiosity and to play "Devil's Advocate," would you want "We the people" to be allowed to own things like "Nukes?" "SMAWs?" Stingers? Cruise Missiles? What could one do with them in a civilian "RKBA" context, other than "mass destruction" of both people and property? Seriously, I do support full ownership of all "firearms" including all NFA classified items. There are a few I'd like to buy, someday. I just can't see myself buying a Tomahawk Cruise Missile any time soon.

I had a sales tax certificate of authority in NJ for my business, and I currently have one in Florida. You can't collect tax for something for which you didn't collect the original payment. When you file your quarterly reports to the state, it won't work too well for you. I think that FFL is just collecting extra $$$,. I hope he gave them a receipt for the tax payment, but I doubt it if he's collecting it illegally. The problem with not paying the FFL the tax is that the FFL might not release the item to you... something for which you already paid. So, do you want to go to the authorities and report him/her? Then you'll have to pay the tax anyway since the authorities will be aware of the transaction. That, or blow the amt. you paid? I'd go ahead and pay the FFL the tax, but demand a receipt for it. If the FFL refuses a receipt, then I'd go to the authorities.

Maybe... Maybe not. The ACLU is rabidly anti-gun. They like to avoid any action that could be seen as being "pro-gun" (which fighting this might be). In this case, the anti-gun part of it outweighs the privacy part. We'll see...

The old "BOOK" trick? In the pre-historic days of graffiti, when someone would drop an "F" bomb on a public wall or bridge or some place, some good Samaritan would correct it by closing the letters so that the word looks like "BOOK" instead...

He says he'd be using steel, but still....

You mean, even if they didn't buy it from that FFL? That's kinda on the "illegal" side, ain't it????

That and, God forbid, you acfually hit someone if they're boating on the Delaware at the time. With my luck, it would be a NJSP marine patrol! Then there's "noise pollution" ordinances, etc. etc. etc. Just not worth the trouble...

Not to hijack, but for someone who wants a non-res. Texas CHL, they need to fly to Tx. to take the course. Could the rest of it be done "remotely" or must other things be done in Texas as well (i.e. fingerprints, file the docs, pay the fees, etc etc..)? I was thinking that if one has time only to take the course and get back on a plane, they could do the remainder of it at their home.

Just saw a PSA on the Discovery Channel sponsored by both the BATFE and the NSSF. The campaign is "Don't lie for the other guy!" That is, don't be involved in a "straw purchase." It could land one 10 years in "the slammer." Website for the Org - Dontlie.org I think the commercial is on the right side of this website. But to have something like this on the "Discovery Channel......" Hmmmm.... maybe a little "progress????" ETA: Found the Video on YouTube:

A state where the FFL's contact NICS directly, rather than go through a State's "point of contact" system... List of NICS Point of Contact States...

I've fired 00-buck from a "modified" choke barrel.

Is that not the prerogative of the FFL? I don't think the FBI charges the FFL any $$$ for a NICS check, no?

That's cheaper than I can find on Ammoseek. Their minimum is .33/round. ETA: I have enough .45acp But I was able to get a deal on some AE XM855 green tip.

FIFY.

Weeeeeeeellllllll..... *some* of the police will tell you that. And then there are those who feel that only they should be armed and that citizens should not be. Most of these are found in the urban cities where crime is a greater problem (Newark and surrounding cities like the "Oranges," Patterson, Camden, Salem, New Brunswick, etc. etc. etc.), Hence, those municipalities that use delay and discouraging tactics when people apply for FID's & P2Ps. Or a government that is afraid of losing control over the People, knowing how easy it might be for any people who know and exercise their "right to keep and bear arms" to do so. I believe this is the underlying force behind much of the anti-gun movement in this country... at least from the government perspective. Don't think "crime" or "gun violence." Don't think "Sandy Hook." Think "Ruby Ridge...." Think "Clive Bundy..."

I don't recall seeing such signs at HG, Easton, and I went there a lot. But, then again, I never bought magazines there. I do recall having this difficulty at a different shop in PA, but a bit further south (i.e near Delaware).

Wow, that brings back memories... Gruning's Ice cream, for sure.

Actually, we do use the federal system. Everyone has to. We just go through NJ NICS to get to them. See this post.

One wonders what the "magic threshold" will be...

Agreed. Ant steps up to the plate when others won't. He's one of the best pro-2A folks NJ has.

Have a safe and prosperous new year, all! I actually stopped watching the "ball drop" once I realized that the broadcast of the ball drop is always on "seven second delay." I often wondered why my "atomic controlled" watch was always 7 seconds ahead of the ball dropping.

Actually, my NJ DL had a PO Box address for many years. It is allowed, as long as both PO Box and physical addresses are on file with the DMV.

Apparently, SC is not a POC state... NICS POC States...
