Why don't we give Memphis away? Seems that might help the stats.

BTW, Dolomite, I do strongly agree that the young parent-raised/enabled monster should be the one actually accountable.   But as it is playing out, the only person paying for the crime is the victims, especially the man who lost his family.

I would but I'd rather give them to a member such as yourselves. Someone who actually contributes not just someone who only uses the classifieds and never reads posts like this.

He will probably still be in jail when the kid that got probation for killing four people while DUI gets his second DUI.

If anybody near me needs to borrow one, I have an aluminum upper receiver block that pins in just like the nylon ones shown previously in the thread.  It rents at very low rates in the Franklin, TN area for beer, brass, or good company.  If you're now asking yourself whether or not you're good company, I prefer Guiness in the 16 oz. pub cans and shoot 9mm, 5.56, and .30-06.

Careful, if you get one that's too powerful, all your porn will be in fast forward!

Being from NJ most of you have no idea of crime.TN is heaven compared to cities in NJ. One example is Camden, NJ which is/was the crime capitol of the country. I still believe NJ's biggest problem is gun control. Only the criminals have guns, not the law abiding citizen, that sucks.

  Dont drag Chattanooga in on this. My city is perfect in every way.The whole state is going to hell in a hand basket and you all are dragging Chattanooga down with you...  :stir:

After reading and thinking on it a little more.... hog lot for all of 'em. 

Who cares about his rehabilitation? He killed four people in a premeditated attack. He should be doing life in prison. The lack of punishment will only embolden this POS to do this again since there aren't consequences to his actions. That is evident by the crap he pulled prior to killing four human beings and wasnt punished for. This judge was clearly paid off. There is no other excuse for why he got away with this punishment free.

If you're also looking online, check into the "refurbished" cameras from Adorama.com. I bought a refurb Nikon from there last year that was as good as new...and much cheaper.

May his next victim be a large tree.

If you zoom into the pic of that cast anthill you'll see millions of these guys:

Mine is waiting for me at home right now. Full report tonight. Edit: just awesome! I got some polymer flip up sights that are super light weight. Perfect for a light weight build I'm planning out in my mind. I also got an extended latch for a charging handle, once again perfect as I just don't like the mil spec ones after spoiling myself with a BCM. I already have a charging handle to instal it on also so that's one more part for a build. I got an AR receiver "plate". Not sure of the proper term but its the plate that holds the spring that holds the rearward takedown pin. The one I got has ambidextrous slots for a sling on either side of the receiver. Possibly best of all (for me anyway) is the lower receiver vise block. I've been putting off buying one for awhile, looks like that strategy paid off in the end. ;) A sincere and heartfelt thank you to my secret Santa. The gifts you gave are absolutely perfect and I will surely use and enjoy them. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Additional thanks go out to all those that make TGO what it is. Between the staff and the members, this IMO is THE best place to be on the web, period.

Well my definition of a NeoCon is a conservative that promotes "democracy" and "national interest" by means of military force.  You often see similar views on domestic issues as well, support for law enforcement violations of the 5th Amendment, support for the War on Drugs, support for a big standing Army, and support for using the government to interfere in American's daily lives to 'protect' us...  While wanting to limit the Federal government, they believe the state governments have unlimited authority to regulate everything.   Mark Levin has in the past supported ideas that I would describe as NeoCon in nature...  Hannity on a regular basis supports the NeoCon ideology...  And the Weekly Standard is run by a bunch of NeoCons (who are big supporters of Mark Levins book), so anything they put their stamp of approval on concerns me a little bit.   I'm not saying that some of his proposed Amendments aren't good ideas...  Or if we could manage to get some ratified it would be a bad thing...  I'm saying that most of his amendments don't cover the real tyranny we see in our day to day lives...  It doesn't reduce the size of the Federal government to historic levels...  It doesn't re-establish many of the protections of rights we've lost over the years...   He's calling for a cap of federal spending at 17.5%, which is high, very high, the average since WWII has been 18%...  Historically our government lived off of 2-3% of GDP before FDR...  By leaving the spending so high, you doom Americans into paying 30-35% of their income in taxes forever....  The cap should be much lower.   The amendments don't require a balanced budget or prevent deficit spending...  which are the real problems that will soon ruin us as a nation....   You notice it doesn't deal with monetary policy at all either, like getting rid of the Federal Reserve?   Gun Sane, if you knew me, you'd know I'm not watching MSNBC ever ;)  FoxNEWS is a little too progressive for my tastes ;)   BTW, none of this really addresses the fact that once a Article 5 convention is called by the states, we loose complete control over what happens...  We can go in with these 11 Amendments and come out with 20 new ones that have nothing to do with these...   And in the Hannity interview he (Mark Levin) glosses over that part...  He asserts that we have nothing to fear because the state legislatures have to approve the Amendments...  but that isn't the case...  in the case of a convention Congress can hold ratifying convention(s) that bypass the legislatures entirely.    This isn't the way to fix the issues in Washington...  This road is a much quicker way to slide into tyranny.    

Memphis isn't the only problem. Take our once little quite town of Clarksville. Crime in general, gang crime and crime from some of our military (those here from Chicago, Memphis, New York and LA for example), has increased here ten fold since 1980 when I got here. Parts of Clarksville are getting very bad! And so are many cities in the state.   Dave

If the cops could figure out a way of shooting these little bastards from a handgun, think how many tazer batteries could be saved. I got my first taste this summer in central Florida. Made me dance like a 3 year old at a hillbilly wedding.

What Dave & Chris said! :)

Y'all got the truck tire parked on top of his hoof so he doesn't get up and run off? ;) Nice buck lil' brother!

This is just another step closer to replicators and holodecks.

Ever year is the year of the AK, brah.

My FN 5.7 in FDE, my PS90 in OD Green, my fathers FN 5.7 in FDE, + my best friends FN 5.7 in black, SCAR 17 black, + 45T FDE. Our trio of FN 5.7's. Latest addition my friends. My FN SLP 18" x AimPoint Micro T-1 2 MOA x Larue LT661 QD Mount Pardon the lackluster photographs my friend, but these were taken with my mobile device. I fault my best friend for the FN addiction! Now my father has the bug. :shake: Awaiting the call from my local shop for a 45T in FDE!

I got my two SS packages today. I got two names so I also got 2 in return. Such awesome stuff. Thanks a ton to both contributors.

My little brother took this high rack 10 pointer this morning. It's his biggest buck to date, congrats little brother!

I have been using the same rcbs press for over 40 years it still works great I have other presses but always go back to this one imo it is one of the best lee makes great dies their presses however lack a little in the quality dept I liken it to buying tools a reloading set up is just a tool anyway buy the best you can and you will never look back I got my rockchucker when I was 13 or 14  still use same scales and powder measure as well just my 2 cents worth

Devils Cut isn't the only thing on the menu.....but it's been a good start. Tomorrow night the 'Shine will make an appearance. And it's not the crap you buy in Gatlinburg. This stuff was born in the beautiful mountains of WV. (Man, this batch is so good it'll make you cry)   My brother-in-law owns a bar and swears hes been talking to some guy who just goes by the name of Pappy. He better not be lying..............   And I've earned the right to be this old dammit!!! Thanks for the BDay wishes npgunnre. Yea, I didn't spell your name wrong on purpiss.... :P

Hopefully not just on the Devil's Cut ... you've got some other things to help out also correct?  Happy Birthday by the way ... old guy! bahaha  :rofl:   Edit:  not to say Devil's Cut isn't great or that it is "below me" (it's not, I enjoy it also); but surely you don't have enough of this one particular type to last all weekend?!

I still don't feel any better after the smackdown Raul gave me. Yea, I spelled your name wrong. So what :slapfight:   Sorry Mr Raoul Sir.

I've got a PEPR with QD on an AR. Just make sure the tension adjusting doobers are in correct position as Peace mentions. Has been rock steady, and quite good at keeping zero when unmounted/remounted. I've since changed scope to a nice Nikon and some other stuff too, but still use the PEPR. - OS

Don't know about the PEPR specifically, but I have a GG&G that is very similar that leaves plenty of room for my backup iron sights. Most mfgs. can tell you if your backups will fit and what height mount to buy based on the scope you're using. From what I've seen, the Magpul flip-up rear sight is most commonly the one that has fit issues as it's a bit larger. The eyepiece on my scope (Leupold 1.5-5 x 30mm) is 1.70 inches if that helps; there is no front bell so the eyepiece is the largest diameter portion of the scope. Here's a photo to give you an idea of what's working for me: ETA: I'm using the Midwest Industries low-profile flip-up rear sight. There's more clearance (4-5mm) than there appears to be in the pic.

I love to read the Memphis comments whenever one of these threads comes up. Lets get rid of Memphis so that you can dispose of all of those silly old guns since you would now be in a crime free state. Why does anyone outside of Shelby County need a gun for anything but hunting?

Have the Canon D60 and love it.  I do wish I had a better lense.  It is all, always about the glass.  Features are nice, but as far as cameras go, the quality matters in this order: 1) glass 2) sensor   As far as Images go: 1) Eye and "working knowledge" of the photographer (exposure, DOF, framing) 2) glass 3) sensor   I know a guy who has a D300 and does great work with it.   - what a fun, fun endeavor.  Good luck, and congrats to her once she gets it!!

If they're empty, they're not on standby.

Full, empty is useless.

You better contact Alcoa for a bulk purchase.

    Something hot.

  I do not like the Honey either.  It is to sweet for me.  And yes, they are a very good client.

Also, you might want to look at shot placement... it's a little lower and farther forward than on deer.

Probably not...of all the things Zimmerman appears to not be guilty of, the one thing he does seem to be guilty of is lousy choices in women.

    My gun is a tool.   Weapon is defined as "a tool used with malicious intent."  If the intent isn't malicious, its just a tool. 

Thought it might happen again last spring when Burn All Toddlers First and the Federal Bureau of Incineration were looking for the brothers Tsarnaev (on the anniversary of Concord and Lexington no less).  It set a bad precedent to have armored vehicles rolling through neighborhoods and people forced out of their home at gunpoint.    But honestly, though, the only patriots in Boston anymore are the ones who play football.  Like most large Eastern cities, the citizens have willingly accepted less personal freedom and more statism. 

Nothing at all wrong with YOU carrying that if that's what YOU want to carry. I'll foolishly carry what I want to carry.

He is a train wreck but nothing is going to change until there are enough true conservatives (of any, either or no party) to effect change.   There is still hope for the 2014 elections; but it's a slim one.

If a SDB is possibly in your future... just buy a 550 now.  You'll never need anything else, really.  (Keep in mind, I have a 550, SDB, and 3 single stage.)   Mac

Just put a hot wire up and be done. Stray dogs this time, cats or coons next, it will always be something. Better to reinforce your pen/yard than to seek revenge. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

According to both the Federal District Court for Western Tennessee and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, Tennessee's misdemeanor domestic assault statute "is not categorically a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence" that rises to the level of violence necessary to prohibit gun possession. There is another Sixth Circuit case, United States v. McMurray, that found that Tennessee's aggravated assault statute also did not rise to the level of violence necessary, either. In essence, the Courts are saying that these Tennessee statutes criminalize very low level "physical force" that was not intended to be a gun prohibition conviction under Federal law. Tennessee allows conviction for simple touching that causes injury, without using "strong physical force." Basically, there appears to be a difference between what the federal law calls "violent" and what Tennessee calls "violent." Here's the Sixth Circuit opinion: http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/12a0344p-06.pdf
