Everything here is absolutely correct. The fake news process has become a toxic pollution to our society. So what is the solution? How do we as a country reverse this course? It didn't happen overnight and it can't be fixed overnight, but what is the outline to get back to a media system that presents facts without biased opinions, false claims and edited videos and let's people come to their own conclusion? I know a lot of people who distrust the media and can identify the same faults with the journalism process that were identified in this blog. What is the next step? Is there an organization that supports the 1st amendment like the NRA or ANJRPC supports and advocates for the 2nd amendment?

Yes. I think conceal carry EVERYWHERE, All states, should be priorty #1. Eliminate these stupid mag bans should be priority #2. Work down from there through all the BS redundant background checks, waiting periods and and other feel good restrictions these democrats have dreamed up that don't do a shit bit of good at stopping criminals. Like doctors needing to know if you own guns and these tattle-tale laws where someone can hear through a rumor that you said something mean so then the cops come to take your guns with no due process.

They are going to keep throwing spaghetti at the wall regardless of how much sticks or does not stick.

Wrong house mutha-fuckas!!

I could see if the guns they recovered at crime scenes or in the hands of criminals committing crimes were all traced back to him and that was what led to the investigation, but the article said it was launched based on the number of purchases. They should not be investigating people based simply because they are exercising their 2A rights.

Man, the dude breaking all the gun laws got 18 months. The drug dealer got 12 years. This was after they linked several of these guns to homicides and other crimes. They both should've got more prison time than that. A more subtle fact that is just as interesting in the article is that the ATF launched the investigation because the guy legally purchased 300 firearms in a 2 year period. Part of me wants to know why the number got that high before he was investigated, but then part of me is upset that the number of purchases is something that can trigger an investigation.

Cool. I'll be turning in the paperwork for some pistol purchase permits soon and I'm looking for a pocket gun to fill one of the permits.

I've never seen it this extreme and I'm more concerned that it is the cause of striker tips breaking off. It the primers came out like this and they didn't have a trend of strikers breaking, I wouldn't be nearly as concerned.

Thanks. I'd be interested to see if the primer strikes have changed yet. A lot of people are posting videos and pics like the one below and many are wondering if it's causing the premature striker failures. Its pretty much the only reason keeping me from getting one. I'm waiting for this problem to clear up.

I was thinking about getting one of these but then I saw a lot of reviews where there is a lot of strikers with the tip breaking off. Military Arms Channel did a review that showed extreme striker drag across the primers. It was WAY more severe than other striker fired weapons like glocks or HKs and it was on 2 different P365s. It's dragging through the primer all the way to the edge of the primer pocket and its deep. Seems like it could be related to other reported striker failures. He also had a failure occur on camera due to the trigger bar spring either breaking or coming off due to it portruding into the mag well and hitting the magazine during firing. It would not let the trigger bar reset unless the gun was held upside down. It could only be fired upside down. He also had a number of failure to extract on a variety of ammo, both brass case and steel case ammo. Have any of you guys had problems like this?

Came across this 26min video and found it pretty interesting. Looks like a Russian version of the History Channel. Nothing majorly revealing about the rifle itself that we don't already know, but it is cool to see them made in the factory (apparently all by hand) and the testing they do with them. Has some footage of the man himself talking about the design features and shows their military dudes training with it. Check it out if you have nothing to do while waiting for the snow storm to roll through. On a side note, I picked up a new WASR-10 last week. I spent 10 years on active duty, 7 years as a cop, then another 6 years full time in the National Guard. Trained on M-16/M4 platforms that whole time, but I always respected the hell out of the AK-47's reliability, durability and simplicity. I'm glad to finally have one.

Glocks are like iPhones. No significant changes from 1 model to the next. This should be a model 19 version _____. A lot of the changes from one model to the next are minor. I'm not knocking the brand at all. I own a couple model 19s and carried a model 22 when I was a cop and was in a shooting while on duty with it. I'm here and the suspect is not. But I don't see enough new innovation in this new model to make me want one. If anything, the lack of the front rail is disappointing.

We live in a state where 2A rights have been raped by multiple levels of government for years. A state where children have been suspended from school for participating in legal, sanctioned, shooting sports activities while under the direct supervision of their parent on the weekend. I find it offensive that anyone should dare attempt to suggest that it is beyond the capability of these socialist elitist dictators to violate our 4th amendment rights while pursuing their goal of disarming citizens.

I'm a little disappointed that they only have 15 full auto weapons.

Same here. My wife knows I shoot and hunt but she has no interest in participating. She knows I bought a youth size .22 rifle for my daughter since she likes coming to the range. But I don't let my wife see all my guns (or ammo) at once. I don't want her to start asking questions about how much guns or crates of ammo costs.

Cops do not have a duty to act. The cop that stood outside the door of the school in Parkland, Florida and didn't do jack shit as while listening to children getting murdered is a recent example, but there is case law from the SCOTUS that illustrate this very fact. https://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/justices-rule-police-do-not-have-a-constitutional-duty-to-protect.html Also see Warren Vs District of Columbia. I see absolutely no justifiable basis to create a special class of citizens who get special preference and special privilege with regards to the rights granted by the 2nd Amendment. I'm not trying to bash cops. I was a cop for 7 years (not in this communist state) and I have been in the military, both active duty and national guard, since 1998. I understand what they do. But unlike most of the sheeple out there, I also understand their limitations. Would most cops act in a life and death moment? yeah, most would. But most get to the scene after the moment has passed. When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away. I'm a realist. We need to be able and ready to defend ourselves. The cops have a difficult, often thankless job. It is primarily reactionary and they have to play by a set of rules that the criminals don't play by.

French citizens seem to be good at rescinding their consent to be governed.

Some women get offended when you hold the door because they feel it is a gesture from times when there were not equal rights among the sexes (whether perceived or actual). There used to be a more widely social emphasis that men HAD TO hold the door for women and some are just so uptight and self-absorbed that it bothers them. If they were on a sinking ship and the captain called "man the life boats, women and children first" would the women start protesting and complaining then? I usually hold the door for anyone, just because it's polite. Once in a while I'll be in a hurry and go through a door while not paying as close attention to my surroundings and I've had women comment on me not holding the door for a woman. Since they felt so indignant that they had to say something, I just respond with "Y'all wanted equal rights, holding your own door comes with it." I don't really feel that way, but it shuts them down since they weren't expecting it. I was in Iraq when we did not yet have total control of the major cities. I was there when the Marines went in to take over Fallujah. I saw female soldiers in combat respond with perfect reflexes and instincts while there were male soldiers who panic and got overwhelmed and did not perform as expected. I have no bias against women.

Not sure about the best price, but the info on the page I'm linking to here will answer all your other questions.

I won't shop at Dick's and my daughter doesn't care for them either. We had impressively poor customer service at 2 different stores when looking for a .22 rifle for her. I wouldn't piss on DIck's Sporting Goods if they were on fire.

I thought they had 72 hours to answer or you were presumed good to go?

It's like running a stop sign at 2:30am. It's only illegal if you get caught.

Yeah and we need this immediately or sooner. This state is out of control. Why is there not a process for the Federal Gov to take over the state when the state government decides to blatantly disregard federal laws? They harbor illegal aliens, who can now get state funds to go to college, thanks to the over-taxed tax payers, while citizens have to pay full price (how is that not treason?) They just let the one guy out of jail instead of reporting him to ICE. He promptly took full advantage of his new freedom and opportunity to reform and/or educate himself and started a new career in slaughtering people in Missouri. Now they want to legalize marijuana which is federally illegal, probably in the hopes that everyone gets doped up and doesn't pay attention to them taking away more civil rights, violating more constitutional rights, squandering more tax money and making everyone subjects to the crown. I'm surprised they haven't made it illegal to move out of the state. Look at the law for drivers licenses. When someone gets a license who is under 18, NJ law says it's illegal to drive in another state with that license until they are 18. Excuse me, but who do you think you are to tell someone what they can or can't do in another state? This state keeps trying to dominate any aspect of peoples existence and it must be stopped. End rant.

Serious question: So what exactly is the State Police supposed to do with the information regarding my ammo purchases? They know I have a FID card. They know when I buy guns (4473, NICS checks, etc). They know I hunt since they issue the license and permits. They know I'm a member of the shooting range because current state law mandates ranges must provide a list of members to the State Police. I shoot in matches so I buy bulk ammo. So now they will know when/how much ammo I buy for all my gun activities. I don't see the point in now starting a tracking list of who is legally buying ammo. When I buy ammo, my name will be on that list just like its on their other lists of legal gun activities I already participate in. Then what? Are they gonna make it illegal to buy ammo if you don't have a gun? Are they gonna make you provide a monthly expenditure report on the usage of all your rounds? Is there going to be a purchasing cap on ammo? I mean this is not going to deter me from buying ammo since my name is already on every stupid list they already got going. I say fuck 'em. Keep shootin'.

I haven't tried this yet, but it's at a price point that would make it worth experimenting with how well it could work when wearing clothes like gym shorts/sweat pants that are made of material that won't support the weight of a firearm.
