Not NJ either, at least for hollow points. The hollow point part of the law wasn't changed. There is a blanket prohibition, but there are certain exceptions. It's so confusing that the NJSP has had this on its website for years: http://www.njsp.org/firearms/transport-hollowpoint.shtml I've...

According to the link, Rep Donna Bullock is not an [R], she is a [D]. Of the 5 bill sponsors, 3 don't even have any opposition on the ballot for the November election. PA, I've read, has the 2nd highest per capita NRA membership and 2nd highest per capita CCW, both after Texas (correct...

High-capacity semi-automatic handguns arrived long before NATO... John Moses Browning's other great design is the Browning Hi-Power (aka the M1935) which was issued by both the allies and the Nazis during WW2, with 13-round double-stack magazines. I'm also pretty sure that homicide rates have...

The doctor isn't necessarily a hospital employee, he could be a self-employed staff physician in private practice leasing an office in the "wellness center" -- which seems to be the doctor's office building across the street form the hospital itself. If he's not employed by the hospital, he...

If you do click on the link -- the comments on this fine example of Rolling Stone "journalism" are hilarious!

http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/07/christie_vetoes_gun-contol_bill_to_reduce_size_of_ammunition_magazines.html I think he did this very well. The problem isn't guns -- the problem is crazy people and criminals. Focusing on the guns allows politicians to pretend to their voters...

I love the way he vetoed it, too! http://www.northjersey.com/news/christie-vetoes-bill-limiting-capacity-of-gun-magazines-1.1044897

He has several other crazy bills the legislature has passed to veto, too. My guess is he vetoes the whole pile of bills at once, at the end of this week. The faux outrage over his vetoing the mag bill gets lost in the faux outrage about vetoing all the other bills.

If you have enough money -- like Bloomberg, you can have more than one residence -- like Bloomberg, whose "real" home isn't even in the US, it's in Bermuda. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/26/nyregion/26bermuda.html?pagewanted=all There are plenty of excellent reasons to stay away...

I'm a resident of an essentially no-issue state, where the only civilians who carry are mostly convicted and unconvicted felons -- and retired LEOs, who are outnumbered by convicted felons... Arithmetically, and on average I think I'd be safer in a state where more of the people who carry...

Does anyone else remember the mandatory 1974 automobile seat belt ignition switch interlocks? Most of the circuits were probably disabled before most of the cars so equipped were even delivered to customers. IIRC, this lasted a few months before congress did away with the requirement. I...

75% of US lead ore was already exported for smelting. Lead is 98% recycled, mostly from batteries. Lead is the #1 recycled material. The price of car batteries might go up a little, and only by the cost of shipping the lead ore to the offshore smelter and then back to the US battery...

What was voter turnout in the western Virginia counties in 2012? I thought this was interesting: http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/socdemo/voting/ Did western Virginia voters have a similar voting pattern to West Virginia voters (ie. stayed home) in 2012? If McAuliffe is running an ad...

I wanted a pistol that had readily available parts, readily available service , decent ammo availability and decent accuracy. It's a "classic" John Moses Browning design -- but so is a Ma Deuce. Some designs are difficult to improve on.

I can't answer most of that, but it looks to me like there are cuts through the receiver. As to why anyone might do this to a perfectly legal rifle of a type that has never been used in a crime is something I can't understand. Mr. Miller must have money to burn. (Or certainly the people...
