I know another small local builder in Monroe losing his home. He owes the bank $600k. House has a pool house you could live in also on 5 acres. That one is almost 4,500 sq ft. Guaranteed it doesn't go for over what the bank is owed and taxes on that one are $18k. Some towns just can't command the prices and Monroe is right between Rt 9 and the Turnpike. Also homes outside developments don't seem to command as much money in many towns. Yet you couldn't build a 4,500 sq ft home with in ground pool and pool house for $600k if you got the land for free.

There aren't too many million dollar homes in East Brunswick. It gets to a point of diminishing returns. Just recently 3,400 sq ft house with finished walkout basement (not included in SQ footage) with horse barn and pen, in ground pool with huge paver patio, pond, on 5 acres in Monroe sold for $540,000. For the record in ground pool adds no value to the property. House was built by builder for his family. Taxes $25k a year. Not many people want to pony up that kind of money every year after you pay off your mortgage. Thus why the price tag was so low. Here is the listing from the house sold in Monroe. The taxes are a killer. Builder owed almost $900k on the house and lost it to the bank at Sheriff Sale. Bank took home back and then sold for $540k eating the $350k. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/134-N-Bergen-Mills-Rd-Monroe-Township-NJ-08831/61835115_zpid/

It also probably doesn't help home prices when the population is lower today than it was in 1970. It doesn't seem there is much demand to live there. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

You answered your own question $30k taxes. Also distance from NYC. Look at Manalapan, Monroe, and Jamesburg. Houses in Manalapan are more expensive than Monroe because Monroe taxes are higher and it is off RT 9 Corridor. Houses in Jamesburg are much cheaper than either Manalapan or Monroe because taxes are even higher. If taxes were lower and area was as close to major city and prices were much lower then I would think something else is going on.

In California they will the firearms to a gun trust. I imagine the same thing would have to happen here. Taking it a step further the trust could be required to store the firearms at a firearms storage facility til the child comes of age. There could be monies earmarked from the estate to pay for the storage fees. That I imagine would be the safest legal way to handle things. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Probably like most small towns they have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to send their kids to school elsewhere. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

We basically posted the same thing at the same time. Maybe we are on to something. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Wow I can't believe what I just read. I am the first to enjoy a good deabate, but to see people's opinions don't matter because they didn't go to one rally that had a couple hundred people? Seriously??? I'm going on record now. I am not going to attend another rally anytime soon, because I feel it is a waste of my time and the crowds will not be large enough to make a difference. Unless we have real money behind the rally. With massive advertising, busing in firearms owners from other states, and even paid protestors. A truly successful rally needs 100,000 IMO. A rally with a crowd of a few hundred makes the other side say see it's only the hardcore gun nuts who care. Personally I don't believe there are 1 Million firearms owners in NJ. I believe the number is half of that. Of that half how many are law enforcement and former law enforcement? There are some law enforcement that are strong Pro 2A, and there are many that really don't care because their rights are protected. Then you have the FUDDS and those who own a single shotgun or revovler. So maybe there are 250,000 firearms owners who are actually affected and care. We don't have nearly that many on the forum or as members of State 2A groups. There are maybe 10,000 that are active members of the variousbgroups, forums, and Facebook pages combined. My point of the numbers is even if every single one of those who are active show up it isn't enough. It is 10% of what we need. Somehow we need to reach the other 90%. This will take money. So what we really need to do is focus on fund raising and big fund raising. My couple hundred dollars and everyone else's couple hundred dollars is a drop in the bucket. We need people that will cut $100k and $1M checks. Once we have the funds it is a lot easier to do anything else. I will not mock anyone for going to rallies. At the same time I would expect those that go to rallies to not attack those that don't. Everyone has ideas and sharing of ideas is the point of a forum. Not everyone has to like everyone's ideas and that's ok. It's even fine to talk out flaws in the ideas. It is not fine to tell people their ideas don't matter.

Thank you. I will check out the videos and Try and make it next meeting. This one I am already committed to something else. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

After being at last rally in person and seeing the numbers of this rally you are right. I change my previous statement. Forget the rallies. Waste of money and resources. Unless we can guarantee 100,000+ no one is going to give a damn and it isn't going to change any law makers mind. Rallies with a couple hundred is self defeating. Let's forget the rallies and focus on the big money donors. Once all the lawsuits are filed and all the politicians that can be bought are; then we can have a rally and hire protesters if need be to increase the numbers. My offer still stands to any 2A group to solicit donations from possible big money donors. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Not sure if they are archived. Usually links are posted to the ads. Then after jobs are filled the posts are deleted. Try a Google search and you should find ads in regards to Charlottesville. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It happens all the time. They post the "jobs" on Craigslist and Leftist Facebook Groups. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

They have money to hire paid protestors. That's the kind of money we need on our side. They also had everything pre planned and ready to go for whenever the mass shooting happened. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

How many people are usually at the meetings and what do most collect? Are most people U.S. and English Collectors? Civil War, WWI, WWII? Or is there a large variation? I collect mostly Finnish Rifles, Pistols, Bayonets and Tools, as well as South American and K98k Mausers, French MAS rifles, and FN-49. I have a little bit of everything else as well except Russian Arms and American Rifles other than one Garand. Trying to see if this would be a fit for me. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Both kids had soccer games in opposite directions and the lack of Organization didn't exactly excite me. However I would have gone over sitting home or going to park or Movies. Tough to preach commitment to a team to my kids and then have them not go to game. Low turnout will backfire. I think rallies need to be planned 9 months in advance. 3 months to finalize permits and everything else and then 6 months to promote that date. Also should be on Saturday or Sunday morning. Throwing together quick rallies is counter productive. The other side will say see no one really cares. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

That literally had me laughing out loud and was all true, except he left out I drank a large Macchiato and 3 litres of Smart Water. I drink minimum 8 litres of water a day. I piss clear, so it's healthy (I think), but annoying for trying to make time. I also introduced[mention=3597]Remixer[/mention] to the fact Taco Bell has breakfast. Bacon Crunch Wraps are awesome. I grabbed us each one since I had to piss at that time too. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Just wanted to thank the best FFL in NJ[mention=3597]Remixer[/mention] from Monmouth Arms for taking the ride with me to Maryland to pick up my rifles. I don't know if there is another FFL in America that would leave 4:45am Sunday morning to pick up his customers rifles with him.

If I was an FFL and I wanted to increase business I would try it as a marketing ploy. A loss leader. I'm not really concerned with it, because there are very few on this forum and NJ in general that buy what I would sell, and rarely have I found anything in NJ to buy. I also see@Remixer's point those coming in for just transfers may not be the customer an FFL wants to attract. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
