It is super extra illegal to posses firearms in the commission of a crime. Use a gun, go to jail. The very act of entering our nation illegally is a crime. They forfeit all 2A rights the moment they step foot on US soil if they are illegal. Illegal immigrants are in an inescapable catch 22. They have a natural right to self defense but loose that right the moment they break the law, which happens to be the moment they arrive. It's that simple. The ruling is fatally flawed. It's kind of like a home invader saying they are protected under 2A because a homeowner may shoot them during the commission of their crime.

If you are reloading precision rounds custom made for your rifle's chamber that turn 2" groups into sub MOA groups, the return is immediate. If you are shooting while everyone else is whining about no ammo on shelves, the return is immediate. If reloading is a relaxing hobby, the return is immediate. Reloading simply to save money is not the only (or even best) reason to reload, but it's still a good reason none the less.

Agreed but all my friends own commercial trucks so it's a no go on that.

My wife and I are doing some renovation work on our home and will be needing a dumpster. We looked into the soft bagger types but they are too small and not a good value for the amount of stuff we need to chuck. I've estimated the smallest dumpster for the job will be a 10 Yard. Can anyone recommend a container company?

Honestly, for the average Joe, 720P 30fps is more than enough. The video quality is still very good and it does not require a $5,000.00 quad Xeon workstation with dual monitors and multiple SCSI RAID to edit video on. 1080P is very nice, gorgeous even, but it is so sharp it can have a negative effect. Ask yourself, does your wife really want to see every wrinkle and grey hair in fine detail, or every zit on your teen daughter highlighted with crystal clear clarity, when watching home movies? Some cameras are so sharp the video has to be (or should be) softened with filters over glass or in post production.

How about a two-fer? Maybe consider a Canon prosumer 35mm digital SLR. They do both stills and video now. The video image quality is spectacular and the glass is, well Canon glass, so you know it's going to be good. You may also want to consider a used high end Canon, Panasonic or Sony pro or prosumer camcorder. FYI, Sony has a repair depot in North Jersey with superior service and turn around.

White guy shoots anyone (even if in SD) = Stricter gun control, ban guns that are rarely used in crimes, punish the people who did not do it. (so and so did not deserve to die even though they invaded your home with guns and knives and wanted to rape your wife and make you watch before they killed the both of you at 0300hrs) White LEO shoots a minority during the commission of a crime = racism, right to riot and loot. Looting and plunder zones set up, free liquor, drugs and smokes for all. Non-white guy shoots white guy = Justified because of racism. (that white scum cracker was trying to oppress me!) Non-white guy shoots white LEO = That cracker ass cracker had it coming, That sombich profiled me! Non-white guy shoots non-white LEO = That Uncle Tom had it coming, he was on Whiteys side! Non-white guy shoots non-white guy = It's Whitey's fault ( Whitey is the default scapegoat for everything) Non-white LEO shoots a white guy = Nothing to see here, move along.

If you took it back to 1999, not many people would pay attention. We had a massively exploitable distraction with all the Y2K paranoia. For the spin doctors, it's just a matter of sitting back and waiting for something to happen then exploit the hell out of it. If the spin doctor is impatient or time is of the essence, then they have to engineer an exploitable incident. remember the Gulf of Tonkin? People are essentially machines and very little is needed to push the right buttons. Well, actually the only thing one needs in any quantity is money. If you have enough money you can influence opinion on just about anything. Never let a tragedy go to waste.

If I give you three NJGF names do I get a 30% discount

I have studied history, governments and psychology long enough to know that nothing, no matter how improbable, is impossible. The more messed up something is, there is usually someone with money and power pulling the strings. All it takes is a little social engineering. EDIT: And sometimes it's just a disgruntled employee going "postal".

Some anti 2A zealot is upset that guns have not been banned yet. So, to prove a point they got a gun and... well, yanno.

How many tables do they have and what's the attendance? Is there a vendor list? I tried to find info but there is virtually nothing out there.

nevermind.

How about if, let's say, a large VFW hall wanted to host a swap meet or flea market type event.

I got to wondering about this. What would happen if someone had a swap meet where only non-regulated items were bought, sold and traded. As far as I can tell, it would be perfectly legal to hold such an event, or even have a table at Englishtown or Collingwood, where the vendor is selling everything but lower receivers. Technically, I think, you could even sell rifle and shotgun ammo, reloading presses, spent brass etc. What is there to stop me from selling barrels, stocks, optics, a complete barreled upper receiver and so on at a public flea market?

The RAP has had mostly good reviews but the couple of bad ones I read were very critical. Chuck Hawks reviewed the RAP in 223 and was sent two evaluation rifles and both were bad. The first rifle had an issue where the POI was high by 7 inches. Now the RPR, thats a different story. That's an entry level "serious" rifle specifically designed for long range shooting. That baby is sexy as hell but a bit pricey. I have the RAR in 243, it's an excellent rifle. Once it's sighted in I can count on it to be 1 MOA cold bore. Absolutely perfect for a hunting rifle but not great for a range gun. I knew what it's limitations were but still went with it because it was the best value for the kind of shooting I do. It served it's purpose well as my first centerfire rifle but it's time to move up to a better gun. I was almost set on getting a RAP in 243 because I was so impressed with the RAR. Im now thinking I will skip the RAP and just save a bit longer for the Precision Rifle. Everything about the RPR is badass, even the price tag.

223 will cost less to shoot but it really depends on what ammo you will be shooting. If the chamber is a true 223, then forget about shooting NATO 5.56. Also, avoid rifles with a sporter barrel, they are too light and will heat up fast. You will start stringing shots after about five or six rounds and have to put it down for a bit while it cools off..

Wouldn't it be funny if the seller sold it because it jammed and they thought it was going to be costly to repair. Good to hear it was a simple maintenance issue.

They are open in pretty much all weather conditions. I've shot in light to moderate rain there. Bring targets that wont get ruined if they get wet.

One of the things I love about NJ is we don't take ourselves too seriously. There are other forums where the banhammer would have already dropped.

My town recently solved a major crime using automated electronic surveillance and LPRs. The PD found that one of the cars parked in my driveway had an expired registration. They reminded (warned) me that the car, not ever parked on the street or driven on the road since the reg expired would be towed off of my private property if the reg was not renewed. Yep, big brother is watching you, all the time anywhere they can.

If you go to the purple and cauliflower then hatbands warble my vicoden snotty very.

Now hear this, now hear this. Cats. That is all.

It depends on what you can afford and how deep your interest in shooting sports is. If you love shooting you will try lots of guns, the more you try the more you will want to expand your collection. If you can afford it, buy every gun that you enjoy shooting and shoot the crap out of them. If you cant afford to buy everything you like, then just buy what you like the best and more importantly, what you shoot the best with. I think most folks have two or three guns that they consider their primary SD firearms and all the others are just for play.
