NRA been quiet right

This was not a nationwide decision, but it is certainly a good start. We should continue to see this up the judicial tree.

I have been thinking about this for a while to the point of anxiety. Outside of the conclaves of Asheville and Boone we have a lot of people who are MAGA or just don't care to vote. With Chuckie saying he will not run again that leave the GOP to shove another Mark Meadows in here or even worse. Not sure how there can be worse than those tow but I keep getting surprised. Anyway, if you are progressive and anti-gun please watch this to help you understand why there are some of us who feel we need to be armed and prepared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfNeKco5et8&t=3s

Last few weeks I have become increasingly concerned over the political climate in the US. I have been thinking about how better to arm myself. I even traded away a gun that I never use in a weird caliber for something I will carry. A couple years ago I bought an AR and I can't stand those things I bought one just for this. And I'm sure some of you will make a comment about me hating AR's but being ex-military and enjoying guns I just did not enjoy owning an AR it wasn't the type of gun that I wanted to. But here we are.

I have bought plenty of 9 mm and 556 because that's primarily the guns that I own I don't think I need anymore 45/70. I've thought about getting a more inconspicuous rifle to carry. I mean around where I live there's a very big hunting culture and nobody would look sideways at me having a bolt action rifle in my truck but they might look sideways at me if I have a tricked out AR. They probably wouldn't but you know I'm starting to get a certain level of paranoia that I actually hate having.

Anyway long story short I'm just wondering how all of you are feeling and what you're doing to prepare if you're doing anything.

Friday’s appeals court ruling in the New Jersey case goes further than a July 2024 ruling from a federal judge, who said that the state’s ban on AR-15s specifically was unconstitutional but upheld the provision barring larger magazines.

The third US circuit court of appeals said on Friday in its opinion that the state’s ban on all semiautomatic rifles it deems to be “assault firearms” and its restriction on “large capacity ammunition magazines” were unconstitutional.

New Jersey’s attorney general, Jennifer Davenport, a Democrat whose office defended the law, told the Associated Press that the decision is “as unfortunate as it is legally incorrect”.

I mentioned in a previous post that I inherited my father's guns recently. This past weekend I finally brought my favorite home. Dad's 264 Win. Mag. Pretty much none of my IRL friends are into guns so I'm going to brag about it here. This thing was always a nail driver but when I was in highschool, dad finally wore the barrel out of it (or wrecked due to lack of cleaning). For his birthday that year Mom and I bought him a stainless barrel. His best friend at the time was a gunsmith who replaced the barrel and bedded the stock. After that, this thing was unbelievable. Honestly, I'm not a good enough shot to justify it but even still, I'll hang on to this one until I'm dead.

Does anyone else have any experience with a 264? The few gun enthusiasts I've talked to have all been surprised when I tell them about this one.

I know it's a long shot but, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a range in southern MN or northern IA (or SW WI). I recently inherited all of my father's guns and unfortunately, that comes with losing (well, selling) the farm that I have always shot at. All the local ranges I know of are owned by people I really don't want to give money too.

Hey all, if you’re a liberal/leftist located in Washington (Seattle/Olympia/Tacoma or south Washington) or northern Oregon (Portland/Salem), check out the PNWAL.

I’ve been a member for some time and it’s a great group. Regular range days, lots of friendly and knowledgeable people. We’re always looking for new people who like to have fun and shoot some guns.

(Obligatory this is not a militia- just a group of people who advocate for gun rights for all and like to have range days together)
