Voted. 98.28% yes, as of now.

My last remaining uncle is 90+. I think he still has a pistol / rifle or two. I'll be cleaning them when I visit them on Christmas. But I know his wife (mid 8o's) is worried about his weapons, and whether or not he could actually fire it and use it, due to his failing health. I think it's a conversation they'll have to have, eventually. This came up recently as my aunt/uncle got a distrubing knock at the door, which they shouldn't have answered but did. Thankfully, the dog barking scared the perp away, but my uncle starting talking about "get my gun out." I dunno....

I don't have any issues with "termination of life" when it's in response to a terminal illness where all that's left is a lot of suffering and pain. It should be the patient's decision and agreed to by two physicians, etc. etc. (i.e. that there are no other therapeutic options and little or no quality of life remaining). As far as witnesses, I guess if some family/friends want to be there to see the patient off, that should be permitted if desired by both parties. But I wouldn't want it to be a "violent" departure (i.e. gun, suffocation, etc.). Give the patient enough drugs to do it, and let the patient ingest them on their own, assuming they have the physical capability to do so. If they don't, that's a bit of a problem, as I'm not sure anyone should be allowed to help the patient ingest them.

Well, according to the "Guns & Ammo 2015 list for "Best States for Gun Owners," once again, DC was the worst at 51, NY was 2nd worst at 50, and NJ 3rd worst at 49. California was 46th, ahead of Mass. & Hawaii. I think because there are some counties in Calif. (northern areas near Oregon) where sheriffs do grant CCWs on a regular basis. Not happening in any NJ county that I know of.

Good luck getting the liberal MSM to air them! That's where they need to be, to be most effective.

Unfortunately Ant, others are there to take his place.... Fox News - Smart Shot Gun Technology Stirs Controversy..

Yup... That's an old "West Wing" tactic. You let the idiot candidate from the opposition run in a district you don't care about and use them to pump up the $$$ in the campaign committee fund.

Correct. It needs to be unloaded, in a secure/fastened case or packaging in the trunk or the back of a SUV inaccessible to the driver. Ammo must be in a separate case. You can only transport it to/from your house to your place of business, or to the shop or to a range, and you cannot make any "unreasonable deviations" en route (no shopping, no eating, no stopping at friend's houses, nothing)! Just Fuel and the bathroom.

It was mentioned in one of the press conferences, I believe. I could see him being 57. Wasn't Michael Dunn just almost as disheveled and in his 40's? And what about Theodore Kazinsku (Unabomber)? It seems (from the report I'm watching right now), that he lived out in the sticks just like Kazinski.

I'd try again on a "not so busy" day and see if you're treated the same or differently. If "the same," then you have your answer.

Claimed to be an AK-47. Of course, Obama;'s 1st tweet is about.... you guessed it.... "Gun control!"

Agreed. They're just giving you the responsibility of getting the forms to the references rather than them doing it. Rather trusting of them, actually.

How many 12 year olds have a "driver's license/State ID" to submit as "identification?" Even if it's a teen with a DL but still under age, would not the receiving clerk ask for a copy of it, look at it, and stop the process long before it gets to the State Police for vetting?

Detroit Free Press - Gun Licensing to change in Michigan, Effective December 1st. Apparently, an improvement in the process by eliminating "county boards" that can deny permits or require the applicant to show "justifiable need." One concern: The article states that the Michigan State Police will be conducting the background checks "...to see if applicants are legally disqualified due to their age, criminal history, mental illness or other factors." Age??? Since when has that been a factor? As long as a person has no physical or neurological issues that would hinder the person from operating the gun safely, why should age matter?

Reports are now that the suspect is "in custody." ETA: Confirmed. Suspect is now in custody. 11 people transported to hospitals, 5 of whom were LEOs. Scene now being processed to remove any remaining items which might be IEDs. Then it becomes a crime scene.

Deepest condolences. I know what it was like when my favorite Uncle passed. 7 yrs ago.

Well, I certainly won't be buying a smart shot gun, or any gun with that kind of technology. I'm not sure I'd boycott Mossberg entirely. I would like to have a real JM-Pro someday, and now I'm in a state where I can get one on "factory spec." The 930 I have now is "pimped up" to be an "almost" JM-Pro, but not the real deal. Speaking of which, I should change the tube on it now to accommodate more than 6 shells. And don't worry Krdshrk. I'll put the gas piston back in this time.

Are there any resources in re: a complete "parts list" one might need if building an AR from scratch (ie. from the stripped lower, on up)?

It seems, according to Fox, that a good portion of the response in re: the Smart Gun reports was "positive" (e.g. "I was on the fence... maybe I might try this..."). We really need to pony up some "counter" ads pronto and shut that down!

Update: Kurt was back on Fox & Friends, this morning, attempting to answer the flood of questions/concerns coming in on Social Media over the original broadcast. Fox really brought only four questions for him to respond to: 1) Do NJ residents need to be concerned now? - To which he replied about the new legislation to repeal the original Weinberg bill, but mentioned it only weakly. 2) Will the "fingerprint" technology fail at critical times? - Kurt did admit that it could very well fail, or that people might not remember to keep the key ring on their person (and brought up the "Underdog" analogy)--- 3) Will the batteries fail at a critical time? - On F & F "Early edition" they actually had John Mossberg answer this, saying that there's a beep warning when the batteries drop below a certain threshold but that the gun will still fire, etc. etc. etc. and that there are other fail safes - Supposedly the batteries will last 10 years.... supposedly... 4) How much extra does it cost? Mossberg also answered this question, indicating that the technology would add maybe $1000.00 to the cost of the gun. But, yet, again, they avoided the most important question.... "Will the govt. be given a 'back door' to the technology to render it useless for any govt. action being taken against the owner?"

OH Boy! Fox & Friends just aired a segment on Smart Guns with Kurt the Cyber Guy. They featured the inventor of the Smart Shot gun (Mr. Mossberg), who is trying to push the technology! While they did address the conerns of gun owners who are opposed to the technology, Mr. Mossberg's response was, basically. GROW A PAIR! He obviously wants to sell these! I hope he's not related to *the* Mossberg family. I like their shot guns.

It works on a desktop. I tested it, as I test all links before publishing.

Well, Fox News is on this! - Fox News DC police cheif who advocated taking down mass shooters, has approved few gun permits.

In my case, I don't think the Po-Po knew about it. Hopefully, for the OP, they will.

Then what's the point of even having a recall vote if he gets to run again? I honestly don't know the answer to your question about not being responded to. I could not volunteer directly, not living there anymore. But I did donate $$$. and that was acknowledged.
