So, that's why they argued every 2A case that came across the bench the last decade or so, right? oh, wait... Supreme Court agrees to hear gun rights case after nearly a decade of inaction on Second Amendment https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/01/22/supreme-court-will-hear-gun-rights-case/2482910002/

Remember, it only takes 3% to produce "change".. What could 3,000,000 "focused" individuals accomplish in the country? Averaged out, that would be 60,000 per state. Could 60,000 pissed off gun owners take over control of NJ? How about half that number?

I'll be really surprised if anything positive comes of this in the SC. Any case that's 2A related is a EXTREME hot potato in the country today. I think the last thing the judges want is HALF the electorate pissed off at them, and will probably just punt on arguing these cases. All you need to do is remember how a certain segment of the population tried to DESTROY Kavanaugh's life. Why would any other judge want to risk their personal lives like that by stepping into a BIG hornets nest of a 2A case?

That would be the first thing I would check too, when a fob stops working. Batteries don't last forever.

And did you know that only like 5% of gun owners are NRA members? I think we know where the problem lies.

I saw that video but didn't watch it. One interesting point, where do Tesla's get their batteries? Maybe from the Gigafactory? Who owns the Gigafactory? Oops...

It's really nice how you make crap up and fabricate a story to fit your own, incorrect narrative. More information since the original story. Seems like the dog escaped from the chain link enclosure he built to keep the dogs contained, then was shot by the neighbor when loose. ..."Thom said he built a chain link fence on his property last spring, but it's possible that a snow drift helped the dog escape sometime that day while he was in Minneapolis. Thom said he learned of his dog’s death by calling dispatch based on a “bad feeling.” When he found his dog in a field around midnight its body was still warm, he said. He claims there were no footprints in the snow that showed anyone checked to see that the dog was actually dead, leading him to believe the dog suffered before eventually succumbing to the gunshot wounds. https://www.dglobe.com/news/4572000-new-version-death-lakefield-mans-dog-makes-international-headlines

Try reading comprehension, you might like it: I didn't disagree that he had the right to shoot the dog. It was the WAY he did it. There's a difference.

Nice target... Let's hope she never gets pissed off at him and knows the combo to the safe.

I'm smelling a new business opportunity here. Design a hunting robot with a iPhone app. The Millennials can sit on their back deck and control the robot from their phone so they can shoot fresh meat while updating their Facebook status... You'll be RICH!!!

Right after the Sandy Hook shooting happened, and it became tough to find ammo, they were cheaper and in stock. Now, since many manufacturers caught up, that's not a benefit anymore. Plus, their quality seems to have dropped off.

We rented one like 10+ years ago when the kids were still home. Then, when we got serious about it this time, we rented one for a quick 4 day trip last Fall as a trial run and zero in on what we wanted. I was going to buy at the end of the year, but figured wait until now, as I knew we wouldn't use it over the Winter. Plus with the RV shows going on now, I knew I could wheel and deal better.

True, while SC picks are important, they only hear/argue like 70 - 80 cases a year out of the 7000 - 8000 thrown to them. What they decide has very little affect on most peoples daily life. The Constitution has turned into a floor mat in this country. On the other hand, trade deals, economic deals, healthcare rulings, etc. HAVE an affect on most people's daily lives, so getting meaningful legislation that helps the "little people" is more beneficial. This is where he's going to be a potted plant the next two years. Don't expect anything meaningful to be passed in the near future.

In this area, it's really wide and deep enough across most of it, so it gets water skiing, sailing, etc. Plus there are tons of lagoon houses that feed into the bay, plus the Forked River. Then you have Tices Shoal, which is a popular hang out next to Island Beach State Park. And lastly, the Barnegat Inlet, where all boats get access to the ocean. Couple that all together, along with the beer drinking by the weekend warriors, and you'll know why there's so many issues out there. The few times we went out on the weekends, it was like a parade of boats going out the river, and later on, coming back in. This was at times when you'd see 70% of the boats on the river still sitting in their slips.

I agree, it's always good to be mentally prepared for any situation.

There's more to what's going on in the country, economy, etc. than just the few cases the SC hears.

In reality, he's a potted plant NOW for the next two years. He won't get anything meaningful done or passed through the House.

New or reman? I have a bunch I bought years ago that was new, and as time went on, had issues with it. Glad I'm not the only one with that bad experience.

I agree. When I bought my last boat, I told wifey he had to go out during the week, cause the weekends were crazy. Then, a bunch of times we tried to go out during the week, the weather was crappy or really windy, so it was a no go. You guys know what the bay gets like inside of the lighthouse on a windy day. Not fun, and that's before all the wakes from the boat traffic. We'd try to fish and drift the oyster creek channel. It was like taking your life in your hands. Although it was a great boat, not missing the "adventures" in the bay. Actually, we just bought a new motorhome yesterday, so we're going to find out if the land adventures are more fun than the water ones.

That's your Democrat controlled state in all it's finest.

In a marina on the Forked River, we spent a lot of time out in the Barnegat Bay.

It gets even better, and I bet they'll find a way to penalize us for the failures of local LEOs and the court system. AURORA, Ill. — An angry worker who opened fire inside a suburban Chicago factory where he had worked for years was barred from having the handgun he was carrying, officials said on Saturday. Gary Martin, 45, who died in an exchange of fire with the police after a rampage on Friday that left five co-workers dead and at least six other people wounded, had already had his state weapons permit revoked because of a felony assault conviction from years earlier, the police in Aurora, Ill., said. Still, they said, his gun was never taken away. “Some disgruntled person walked in and had access to a firearm that he shouldn’t have had access to,” said Kristen L. Ziman, the chief of police in Aurora, where the shooting took place. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/16/us/aurora-illinois-shooting.html

Be careful, I had my boat in a slip in the bay. It was bigger and built for rough water. I finally got tired of getting beat up in the roughness of the bay, just wait on how much fun it is out there on a weekend with all the weekend warriors.

The two most happiest days in the life of a boat owner. The day you bring it home and the day you sell it. Usually the day you sell it is the happiest!!
