Just as much of a waste of time as anything else. The specific wording makes it simultaneously unenforceable and impotent. Might I also point out the irony that there is already a law on the books that directs officials at all levels of government not to do such a thing?(The Second Amendment)

Cons: Get mistaken for an actual suppressor, resulting in anything from dirty looks or just being "that guy", to being kicked off the range, to having to explain to the NJSP and a Superior Court Judge that "it's just a prank, bro" after $30,000 in legal fees and the worst weekend you'll ever spend in Rahway. Pros: It looks like something from a video game?

BPA (Bisphenol-A) maybe I spelled it wrong. The body thinks it's estrogen, in large enough quantities can lead to "feminine" symptoms such as man breasts, crankiness, lower testosterone which makes it harder to build and maintain muscle, puts you at risk of prostate and testicular cancers too. Same reason I personally avoid all soy products (phytoestrogen) and anything with high-fructose corn syrup (stimulates hunger and blood sugar spikes, aka the perfect storm for fat gain). Yes this means I don't eat half the food in the grocery store.

I have to say I am also disgusted and appalled that removing recess is even a consideration. Pediatricians say childhood obesity is a national health crisis. Psychologists now warn that children spending excessive time on social media hinders mental development and causes all sorts of other mental health issues. Seems only logical to take away the only time outdoors running around that this kids might have...wow this makes me angry...

When they refer to LEO devices they mean ones owned personally by people who are cops, not ones owned by the police department for use on duty.

Is this really an anti gun move though? Or is PA just sick of what they perceive NJ/NY fools coming to town and carrying? Kind of like how people that live down the Jersey shore don't like Bennie's?

I'm sorry but when did they ever even sell "assault style" guns? I've never seen an AR there, and the only pistol grips I ever saw in Dick's were on turkey guns or those new Ruger bolt action rifles. Unless they do sell AR-15 and WASR in other regions? Anyone know? Seems to me like a publicity stunt more than anything, I'd be curious to know how many guns are being destroyed. I don't think it's many.

I think I've lost count at this point of how many Eastern European and/or Jewish people I have met that are strong supporters of not just gun ownership, but personal freedom and independence in general. Wow what a surprise, people with a background of being persecuted by Nazis and communists are not a fan of left wing bullshit. Go figure! I agree we need to make inroads with these demographics. If I could travel back in time thirty years, I'd tell pro-gun lobbyists to being their message to African American and Hispanic communities as well. People with a history of opression and dysfunctional communities would be quite receptive to the overall message of personal freedom and safety. I feel it may be a bit late for this now but still think it's better than nothing, we need these demographics as well.

Yeah how's that working out for them in NY? I recently heard they've got a guy facing 15 years over a pistol grip...

I just want to point out that for people like us, all of that "emergency food" or whatever you see in buckets, vacuum bags, and MREs is purely a waste of money IMO. Just look at your pantry on a regular day. Right now I've got cereal, oatmeal, nuts, tuna, canned tomatoes, beans, corn, pasta, whey protein (GTL baby), canned chicken and I'm not even prepping, I'm just grocery shopping. Not including the vegetables and meat in the fridge, sauces and spices, etc...No idea how much you eat or how many people in the house but it would take us a couple weeks to plow through all that food...Some dude's going to be home during Sandy 2.0 trying to stomach some freeze dried meatloaf bullshit out of a vaccuum pack. I'll be eating some bomb ass homemade tacos or a nice spaghetti dinner. Hey I better not gloat, I don't want the zombies to come and take my Barilla! Also a funny anecdote, when my wife and I moved into our house we didn't have a fridge for the first few days. BUT we had a foot of snow on the ground outside. We made a big pile and stashed our pizza rolls and frozen ravioli in there for those first couple nights, we still laugh about it to this day. It worked!

Family? Friends? Career? I'd list all the reasons, but I'd be here all night.

And communist writers wrote that the revolution is constant, it is always ongoing and an inevitable part of human progress. If not today, tomorrow, if not tomorrow, the day after. After each goal is realized, a new one is immediately set. Mankind exists in a state of constant revolution. This is the mindset of our political opponents. They don't take a day off, let alone worry about what a 250 year old piece of paper says.

Sad to say, but you're 100% correct. At this point, the only thing left for us is civil disobedience. I wonder, just how cheaply can someone fabricate an AR-15 magazine? I know you can get cheapo ones for like $10. But how about just an even crappier made, basically folded sheet metal with junk springs, capable of holding 11 rounds and slapped into an AR (actual reliability be damned), could it be made for $1-2 each? And handed out by the dozen as a form of protest?

Like I said, I meant no offense and as to your most recent post, we are actually in agreement. I'm more referring to the fact that many people who run our world are simply ignorant not only of this issue, but that it's an issue at all.

See, this right here is half the problem. I don't know if you're just kidding or what, but I'm going to assume you're probably middle aged or a little older. No offense and please correct me if I'm wrong. It seems to me like a HUGE part of how companies like Facebook get away with murder is that people in the Boomer generation sort of having this "I'm too cool for technology" attitude or "I'm too cool to learn that geek stuff" they're the only group who hold not knowing how to log into your email as a badge of honor, rather than an indication of incompetence. They're often just as hooked as anyone though, I've seen plenty of them melt down when they break their phone, lose all the photos of their grandkids, and realize that stupid iCloud thingamajig they've been making fun of for the last 3 years would have their photos back in an hour. Folks like this and their apathetic attitude is a big part of what allow these companies to what AVB-AMG describes so well.

"stand your ground" home is your home, if you feel like you need to up and leave to somewhere else, that's a bad plan. Your plan is to drive through several of the most populated areas and busiest highways in the country in the middle of a catastrophe to go to a rural spot? Sounds like an awful plan. While you're "bugging out" you're literally driving past grocery stores and hardware stores that open during or immediately after a disaster. Last time we had a noreaster you know what the local home Depot did? They put out a huge display of hoses, sump pumps flashlights etc. For sale. There's probably one a mile from your house. Here's a suburban bugout plan, set the alarm clock an hour earlier and beat the crowds to the home Depot. This is NJ. You live in Essex County. You're probably reading posts on gun forums written by guys that normally have to drive an hour and a half through swamps to get to the Piggly Wiggly. Don't do that. Some "milspec" advice - you don't wear forest camo in the desert. Familiarize where you live and how things in your area are. Don't make a bug out plan that doesn't fit your reality.

You know how this is going to go. He can win this fight and get his FID. Buy whatever guns he wants to. But next thing you know, he's gonna get a visit. Maybe he "pointed it at someone" or another tenant "feels unsafe because they hear gun noises" or god knows what else who ever else decides to make up to make his life a living hell. Maybe a call to the local PD about how they saw a AK-15 with extended high capacity 5,000 round clip. You wanna see real, omnipotent, godlike power, deal with local officials in a suburban town. Move out IMO

Cabela's has an AR for sale at $475 right now. Seems perfect for a beginner.

Unfortunately this argument should be left in the 18th century where it belongs. The reality is that Facebook encompasses multiple Industries and tens of billions of dollars. They control nearly half of all ad Revenue in the United States this alone means that their policies have a broad and gigantic effect on companies in every industry Across the Nation and even the world. They are the primary source of news which means that they are people hiding behind an algorithm from an office in California dictating what topics get to be important and what does not. The vast majority of the population is both unaware of what Facebook does or what Facebook's business really even is. You can't vote with your feet if you don't even know that there's a problem and your primary source of information is capable of hiding anything from you that they don't want you to know. Oh and they can just buy any place you go to instead. You can't vote with your wallet for something you don't even pay for. You're not the customer you're the product. This is a nightmare situation beyond what even science fiction authors predicted. Not to mention the fact that with their gigantic assets Facebook simply buys out its competitors before they ever get big enough to challenge it. When Instagram started taking views away they bought Instagram. When WhatsApp was getting people to stop using Messenger they bought WhatsApp. Facebook buys dozens of companies every month that you never even hear of they buy them straight out of the Cradle sometimes before they even come into existence. A strategy for many startups and Venture capitalists in Silicon Valley is not to make a successful business but instead just to make something that Facebook or Google or Amazon will buy out. Facebook needs to go and the only people who can do that or the government sorry to say

Not really a good comparison, at least not an honest one. Cartridges like the .30-06 went into bolt action or 8-rd semi auto rifles meant for long distance shooting. After WW2 rifles like the M14 or FAL were designed but militaries saw a way to reduce recoil, and more importantly increase volume of fire because each soldier can now carry much more ammunition.The 5.56 is designed for full auto usage in urban or more close quarters situations and/or as suppressive fire. With the versatility of accurate semi auto shooting at a more moderate distance. So yeah the individual 5.56 is smaller but when 3-4 of them are coming at you at once, doesn't really matter. This is why I prefer .30 and up, with the restriction of semi auto and only 15 (10) rounds, may as well make them count.

No no, you see it's some form of 3-D chess. They're gonna "tie it up in court" any day now! The liberal overplayed their hand!

We don't need only 2,000 gun owners to show up and get free magazines, that won't do anything. We need a coordinated, statewide handout of 15 rd mags to not just gun owners but anyone who supports the cause. Here, take this plastic thing today and be a felon tomorrow. See the ridiculousness?

"Hollywood" is controlled by idealogues but at the end of the day, the entertainment industry is a business. Everyone is toeing the line, but quietly, everyone from ABC to ESPN to major motion picture studios and Netflix, are seeing declining ratings as viewers tune out. They know what's up and are probably doing some much needed course correction. Besides, the old Roseanne audience isn't the Frasier audience.
