Due to the recent stupidity of our stupid leaders in this state, I picked up 1/2 of the parts I need to build an AR 15. I need to get an upper and a few places have some sales going on, so these items are for sale on a pretty time sensitive slot. Local pick up preferred. First is another knife I built (I made this for me to actually keep this one, but I guess if I want to finish my build, it has to go). This is a Condor Woodlaw blank in 1075 HCS that I put ask black micatra scales, hunter orange G10 liners and pins on. I do not have a sheath for this, as I never got around to picking one up. I'm letting this go below what it cost me to build. $65 FIRM! Next is a Joker Campero made in Spain using Sandvik 14C28N steel with walnut scales, black G10 liners, and a leather sheath. The knife is brand new and unused. Price is $95 FIRM! I really would prefer local pick up, and again this is time sensitive as the uppers I'm looking at are on a flash sale right now and won't last long. Please post a message in this thread if interested and then send me a PM. Thank you.

It's never going to be about safety, or stopping crime, it never was/is. Let's not forget the clean slate bill, let's let the bad guys out of jail and prison, clear their record, and let them start over again. Then we have all this foolishness about turn in your illegal gun no questions asked, and sometimes they pay the stains on society for those guns. One thing that's hurting us the past few years is the ass jockeys are actually using legal firearms they bought in these shootings. That in itself is paving the way for the anti gun movement.

Not a fan of that shop, but I may check this out to see what other vendors are there. I might still be int the market for an AR upper, I hope I find something before then, but you never know at this point.

The AR15 license is going to be separate. What we don't know is the cost of this stupidity. I was in three different gun shops over the weekend, and even they don't know the cost, or the full details on what's going to be required for the license. All they know is they made buckets of money over the weekend, from myself included. At 10AM it will all become official as the turncoat is making a spectacle of signing this. Brandon is watching and making his own schemes. I was watching the news yesterday morning, and they went from talking about this sweep, calling it "Save The Children", and in the next breath saying how a new bill will allow females from other states that don't allow abortion to come here and get one, for free. I was speechless, how does one go from save the children to come here to abort them? This state's a nightmare. Ever since she took office, I've had more of a pit in my stomach than I did with the king.

That last part on the licenses was what I thought I read the other day, it's for those purchasing new semi-auto rifles. I knew I should have bought that complete lower this morning when I had the chance, because as I said already, this is just going to empty shelves of the scary black guns and the ammo again.

The only issue I have with those articles and stats are is not accurate information. They take the amount of licenses and then calculate it by rural areas where hunting is possible. If you go north, you can spend the entire season hunting miles and miles of land and never see another person. The SZ has the largest percentage of hunters, due to success rate, in a fairly big way. The majority of deer hunters are going to hunt the percentage, and many hunt private land over food plots VS heading into the true wilds of this state. Nothing wrong with hunting the percentage, nothing at all, that's not my point. Hit the Albany Pine Bush on a given day and odds are you'll see more hunters than you will in the same area size wise in Benson. Go a little further north on some back roads, and you won't see a car for miles.

I think we're ahead of CA at this point with stupid laws. Or at least even with them. My wife wasn't thrilled this morning when I said I think I'm finally sick of NY and want to be someplace else. We have some awesome country here with great fishing and some pretty darn good hunting, but man this crap is getting old fast with slamming our gun rights. I'll never get to leave this place, though, so I'll just have to swallow every bite of the shit sandwich that comes my way.

I'd have to agree, the owner should be around at least once a week. Owning a forum comes with responsibility, if you cannot meet those responsibilities then sell it or take down.

Heck, just give it a few weeks to cool down. Throw out some feed and be good to go for July.

With the exception of the age restriction, those laws are already on the books. Many cities already require firearms to be in a safe, we haven't been able to own anything over 10round mags for a long time. You can't buy a firearm for your cousin or outside immediate family for a long time. So in reality, that article is about as informative as a will written on a piece of TP with no notary signature. I understand what it is, and I'd have to agree that this will stop ammo from being sold here because manufacturers aren't going to make special lots just for any state requiring it. I'm still curious about this license thing and how that going to play out if passed. Are us current owners going to have to jump through even more hoops to keep our rifles? Cost of this license? Is it for only those who buy AR's going forward? I was in a shop a little while ago to pick up some ammo, there were already a few guys in there to buy AR's. Two of the sales people explaining to the customers what's good to go and what isn't stated they expect to sell probably 100 AR's today. Get ready for a lot more shortages again. Thank goes out to the left once again to create chaos and drive prices way up again.

On Wednesday?

Looks like the age limit restriction made it to the turncoats' desk, and we all know she'll sign it faster than lightning. What isn't clear is the microstamping and license requirement for semi auto rifles. If the license crap passes, what does that mean for existing owners?

My post wasn't set in your direction, not at all. It was set at the members we have here who don't seem to ever go outdoors, and I get a feeling do not hunt. Some are more than willing to post up pictures of vacations and at work, outdoors doing anything is a different story. Those member numbers seem to be growing, while those of us who do actually leave the house are coming here less and less. I'm not in any way saying there isn't need for some concern, but it just seems some folks live to be angry or riled up over something all the time. It\s not a healthy way to live life. I spent last week up north with my wife getting my butt kicked by fish, a little bushcrafting, and just having a blast being in a cabin on a 14 mile lake. I put my phone on airplane mode and only used it to take pictures and shoot video. I wasn't up there to hunt, but saw the only turkey I put eyes on for the month of May. Then I came home and spent three days messing with friction fire.

I don't like all the BS the uneducated Left wing anti-gun jackasses keep trying to pass, nor do I fool myself into thinking there's not a chance some might actually go through. I just refuse to get my sphincter all tightened up every time there's a whisper in the wind. I refuse to let this stuff consume me 24/7 365, life's too short to spend all day and night worrying, and emailing or calling local reps does about as much good as using a piece of paper to chop down a tree. Then there's the mental illness factor, but who decides what that mental illness is? As I have said in the past, and others have also stated recently, a part of that decision would come down to medications people take. So someone who has to take antianxiety medication would be treaded as someone suffering from depression, the medications for both are the same. There's really no such thing as common sense gun laws or control. Because that term can be so loosely interpreted, it can be twisted into opinions, which is all gun laws are to begin with, just a bunch of uneducated dipshits telling others what they can and cannot do/have. Even Biden hasn't been very successful on his promises to ban certain firearms, or at least put massive restrictions on them. Even many on the left are getting sick of all this, and seeing far more Dem’s are now gun owners since the pandemic started, they don't want a lot of these restrictions either. I would bet dollars to donuts, a lot of new gun owners on the left who bought AR style rifles for home defense now see the stupidity of the SAFE Act. I would also bet a lot of them are now rebel outlaws, with those AR’s set up the way they are supposed to be set up. If downstate would be separated from upstate and have two NY's, upstate gun owners most likely wouldn't be dealing with any of this crap. No one wants to point the finger where it belongs on anything, and the NYC area, and it's close surrounding liberals get to tell the rest of NY what they can do and have. Then we have to examine the NRA, who's one job is to protect the 2ND Amendment, and now do nothing. If they want to cry about needing more funds, maybe the guys in that organization making 6-figure salaries should take a pay cut to uphold our rights as gun owners.

I'll just leave this here: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/31/house-democrats-aim-to-pass-gun-control-legislation-by-early-june.html

I think I might need to start carrying a bigger knife when I have to go to Ravena for quick stop shopping, and maybe carry a backup.

That's not exactly what I meant. I meant with gas prices how they are driving and dropping that money was getting beyond frustrating for a little bird. I enjoy deer hunting more, so I'm a bit more willing to spend more for gas. During the Fall I really only have hunting going on, so it's easier to justify the added cost. During the Spring, I like to get out hiking more and fishing, so it came down to giving things up I didn't want to for the month of May. I don't drink anymore, so my new vice is being outdoors as much as possible. I don't plan to go north and spend touristy prices for gas to hunt a turkey.

Been a little nuts. For a deer that I'd get a decent amount of meat is one thing, a bird I'll only get maybe two meals out of is crazy.

I'm done chasing these birds for the season. Me 0 / Birds 7. Gas $110. I'm going north next week, and I think I'll only be taking the fishing gear.

Lick its butt. If it turns into a busty princess, you win. If it turns into a prince, you loose. If you start tripping out, trap a bunch and sell 'em. If nothing happens, don't tell anyone you licked a froads ass.

@blackbeltbill, a bunch of us have tried to help you with taking pictures to post, so maybe a visual aide is in order. Top good, bottom bad.

I contradicted nothing. At 18 years old, that guy knew exactly what he was doing, and he could have come from a rich family with great parents and still committed this. Have a look around, not all the dimwits who commit these mass shootings had bad parenting. So again, I ask at what age do the parents stop being blamed for their children's atrocities? Everyone gets ticked off when a gun company gets blamed when a criminal uses a gun to commit murder, but it's OK to blame a parent when things go south with their adult aged kid?? C'mon man! If you go to the doctor for gall bladder removal, and he removes your penis, you don't blame the medical school, you blame the DR. I get so tired of repeating myself around here, this comes across as a retaliation crime. If groups A&B want to do bad things, other groups who are getting tired of it are going to start doing bad things too. In real life, if you kick a hornet's nest long enough, eventually those hornets are going to do something about it. I don't agree with it, or like it, but I have enough smarts to see a duck for what it is. You want to blame someone, blame the asshat that committed the crime.

^^^^ This! Not only is he looking good on paper for lowering taxes and holding dirty politicians liable for their actions, he comes from a pretty pro gun area.

If I kill a turkey, I'm going full moon with the bird for the picture. Then every time you call me an ass in the future, I'm going to post that pic over and over.

Look, I feel bad for the families of the lives that were lost. That said, here's the bottom line, that kid was old enough to know right from wrong no matter who influenced him. The mental health finger is just another blame sometimes, just like mommy and daddy issues. I'm not saying this isn't the case sometimes, but it's being used as a crutch as much as blaming the gun for the shooter's crime. Mommy didn't let me breastfeed till I was 40, so I'm going to go insane and commit an atrocity, or, daddy made me sit on his lap till I was 50, so I'm going to build a pipe bomb. The issue is this word is too soft and lenient about things like this. Yes, parenting should be the #1 source of preventing these crimes, but at what age is a kid supposed to start acting like an adult and assuming responsibility for their own actions? 16, 18, 20, 30, 50, 100?
