  1. Leave me out of it Steve863. I never said anything about the shooting other than I was waiting for factual evidence. I never blamed the Feds for shooting him. But I do find it interesting that some folks take pleasure in the death of a human being, who was provoked by government aggression, and say it makes their day. That has to be some kind of defect. I imagine it will make your day when the Fed eliminates the 2nd Amendment and starts shooting everyone who refuses to comply with complete confiscation. You're on the wrong side in my opinion. That goes for anyone who agrees with you too.
  2. Sure. NJ & PA allow sales of long guns (not handguns) among state residents without using an FFL or getting a NICS check. Private sales are OK in free states.
  3. There's a historical marker on a back road near Bloomsbury, NJ that claims to be the place where Johnson was raised. I used to have a photo of it, but I think it was only on a phone I no longer have. He went west from there as a young man.
  4. It was the coroner, through forensic analysis, that proved Brown's hands were not up when he was shot. I'll wait until the Oregon coroner announces his findings prior to forming an opinion in this case as well. You guys who hate these "wackos", (but not other wackos) should consider doing the same.
  5. I have not seen the film yet, but intend to. I've known the story of Glass for decades. Funny how any movie about him has to be fiction, because there is so little real documented information about him. We do know he was born in Philadelphia and worked as an apprentice for a well known gun maker before he left. As an aside, how many know that Jeremiah "Liver Eating" Johnson was actually born and raised in what is now Hunterdon County, NJ?
  6. A very good article, by people who know history, regarding Hugh Glass, his past and his rifle. He wasn't looking to get revenge. He was looking to get his very rare muzzle loader back. http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2016/1/11/the-revenant-hugh-glass-and-his-rifle/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=insider&utm_campaign=0116
  7. Didn't feel any need to post until you posted that gem. I just couldn't resist. You're too funny!
  8. HaHaHaHa! The Leftists are too brainwashed to see they are the Kamikazi pilots and Obama and his gang are Tojo!! LOL!
  9. So the guy in Oregon was a wacko, but Michael Brown wasn't? Actually Brown was more than a wacko, he was a violent gang affiliated criminal wacko. But he had his hands up when he was shot and the officer, who was vindicated by a grand jury, was a murderer. Some are really seeing the world through leftist media controlled video screens. Divisiveness in America is at an all time high and this administration, and it's lap dog media, is the cause of it. But I'm sure they think that statement from me was predictable. Maybe so, but it's also accurate.
  10. I think if you are only getting one handgun for carry, a small 9 mm is the best choice. If you are getting a primary carry gun and a backup, I like a small .45 acp and a very small .380 for backup. The .380 is quite capable when fired at spitting distance.
  11. Politics is what politicians do to get you to vote for them. Voting is what you do to tell politicians what you want from them. They are two distinctly different things. If you don't vote, elected officials know you don't care what they do and they do what is best for them, not their constituents. This is why we have horrible gun laws. Too many pro 2nd Amendment gun owners don't vote and the politicians feel they don't care about their 2nd Amendment rights. If you do not vote, I have to agree with them.
  12. It's an attempt to buy your vote with your own money. You over paid and they want you to be grateful you're getting some of it back. I would say about 70% of all taxes collected by politicians are taken from people not likely to vote for them and given to those who will.
  13. Because it has nothing to do with violence, safety or security. It has everything to do with control. The government fears the rights granted by the 2nd Amendment give citizens too much power. Therefore, it will do "whatever it takes" to remove them. As much as possible at the least, completely as the best case. You had better believe they are gunning for the best case.
  14. The coyote contest in NY State run out of Sullivan County, gives $25 for every yote brought in, but they keep it. I believe they have someone willing to pay $25 for each pelt. The prizes for the heaviest one per day, per youth, per woman and the heaviest one overall, is where the big money comes in. Plus the dinner and raffles are a perk included in the contest entry fee.
  15. We can't even get half of the people on this site to join the NRA. No wonder NY gun laws keep getting worse. These people have the wrong people pegged as their enemy. There are gun rights groups begging for your participation and you won't join because the public doesn't have a good image of them? You really think they have a good image of you and your guns? Why do they keep attacking you having them then? Oh, I forgot. They want your guns because others are irresponsible with them. So you side with them in order to ingratiate yourself to them, hoping they'll let you keep yours. RIIIIIGGHHTT!!! BTW "you" is not directed at anyone other than people who fit that profile.
  16. This is why the background check system we have now can easily become a tool for abuse by the government. I personally know a few people who have been incorrectly denied, then appealed and won. Imagine if appeals become things of the past. This should concern every firearm owner, regardless of the type of firearm you own, or ever want to own. "As much as the Brady Campaign, Bloomberg’s Everytown, and the Obama administration contend that submitting oneself to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is a fast and simple process that does not significantly burden lawful firearms transferees, the fact is that for many of Americans that simply isn’t true. Each year thousands of Americans are wrongfully denied their Second Amendment rights when NICS incorrectly determines that they are prohibited from firearm ownership. Compounding this grave injustice, this week the FBI made public that they have stopped processing NICS denial appeals. In what was dubbed a “makeshift reorganization” in a January 20 USA Today article, employees tasked with reviewing NICS appeals have been “temporarily” reassigned to assist with the considerable increase in background checks. According to the article, this has created a backlog of 7,100 denial appeals. News of this personnel shift comes on the heels of Barack Obama’s much-publicized executive actions on gun control. Included in these actions was an intent to “hire more than 230 additional examiners and other staff to help process [NICS] checks.” When asked about this action in a January 20 hearing of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies, Attorney General Loretta Lynch made clear that this plan would require some Congressional cooperation for funding, noting, “With respect to the 230, we do hope to begin hiring of that with using this fiscal year's appropriation. And then the 2017 request would allow us to maintain that.” Given the circumstances surrounding the public disclosure of the suspension of processing denial appeals, the personnel maneuver has the appearance of being a cynical bargaining chip in the pursuit of more resources. It is important to understand the severe scope of the problem of erroneous denials, and thus the need for a well-functioning denial appeals process. FBI’s own informational materials provide evidence of the system’s potential for mistakes. The agency’s 2014 NICS operations report, for example, explains that a denial merely “indicates the prospective firearms transferee or another individual with a similar name and/or similar descriptive features was matched with either federally prohibiting criteria or state-prohibiting criteria.” In 2014, 90,895 federal NICS checks resulted in a denial. That same year, 4,411 NICS denials were later overturned through the appeals process, or close to 5 percent of total denials that year. Moreover, there is significant reason to believe that the number of erroneous denials is far greater than those overturned on appeal. Some individuals incorrectly denied may feel intimidated by the appeals process or simply dealing with the federal government in this capacity. In her book, Brady Denial? You CAN Get Your Guns Back!, Attorney Cindy Ellen Hill, who has helped clients navigate the NICS denial appeals process, writes, “people who don’t appeal their Brady denials make that choice based on a lack of information, lack of money to hire a lawyer or investigator to assist them, or out of fear of drawing further unwanted attention from federal and state law enforcement authorities.” Suspending the NICS denial appeal process takes on an even more sinister character when one contemplates the chief gun control measure advocated by the Obama administration. Under a “universal” background check scheme, individuals would be unable to lawfully obtain firearms without subjecting themselves to a NICS check. If such legislation was currently in force, an individual who found themselves erroneously flagged by NICS, no matter how law-abiding, would have no avenue to legally acquire a firearm and no means to challenge their incorrect NICS status, obliterating their ability to exercise their rights in perpetuity, short of judicial intervention. The Constitution guarantees that an individual cannot be deprived of liberty without the due process of law. When the FBI, or any other arm of the state, erroneously deprives a person of their rights without due process it should be the paramount concern of the government to correct the error. While there has been a sizable increase in NICS checks in recent years, resulting from record demand for firearms, suspending the NICS denial appeals process is not an acceptable means of meeting new demand."

  17. If this gets passed, I predict the number of names on the watch list will start to grow very quickly, for all sorts of reasons, none of which you will be entitled to know. You will also not be able to get off the list either. http://www.guns.com/2016/01/22/new-york-moves-to-refuse-gun-licenses-to-those-on-no-fly-list/?utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_content=56a2bdd604d3017ab9d1dea4&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook
  18. Yes, someone did point out you can shoot yotes year round in PA. The question above has obviously be answered already by PA wildlife officials. I would think they hope to entice hunters to go after them when fawns are being dropped, since that is when it would have the most positive impact and currently few hunters go afield for them at that time. It might be a good idea to limit the bounty to just that period of time each year as well.
  19. Is the bounty money coming from taxpayers, or from PA hunting licenses fees? Also, is the amount expected to be paid out yearly less than the amount PA spends every year unsuccessfully handling the yotes? This may not be extra money being "wasted". It may be current funds being redirected.
  20. I have mine cut to 13.75" on a rifle and 14.25 on a shotgun. If I add a recoil pad it's easy to specify what trigger pull I want. If the rifle has a synthetic stock, I won't buy it if it doesn't have a 13.75" pull length. Most shotguns are made with a 14.25" LOP and Kimber Montana rifles have my desired 13.75" LOP. The right LOP really helps the shooter get on target faster as well as lessen felt recoil. It is something that really shouldn't be overlooked.
  21. Nope just pointing out a turd in the punch bowl. Your insignificance amuses me. I'm done now.
  22. Listen .... (language edit: ), (like that name?) I started my comments on this thing saying it was an air gun and not a bow. The instrument belittles itself, as well as anyone who thinks it should be used for archery. We're talking about using an air gun in archery seasons. I really don't give two sheets what you think is loud and what isn't. You seem to spend all of your time on this site trying to start arguments and rarely originally post anything of substance, or that risks anyone challenging you. Your and agitator, nothing more. You seem to be real concerned about "winning". The people I know who are so concerned about it are big losers. Try learning to debate without being a ... you know the rules... easy with the language
  23. Once again a video with a lot of noise covering up the sound of the air gun. The other question I have is what speed was the arrow being fired at? Compared to a compound or a crossbow, it's not quiet. Loud is a relative term regarding archery equipment. Since the Crosman is actually a gun, relative to other guns, it's not loud. But the main objection remains, it's not archery, it's a firearm, and should never be legal for any archery only hunting season.
