10-Ring

Though I don't like the idea of gouging people your father did not gouge anyone.  He took something that he had no use for and sold it, nothing wrong with that.  The price was commanded by the buyer, not the seller.  I too believe that .22LR will return to normal after the panic buying subsides and the manufacturers have time to catch back up. 

Interesting piece, please tell us more about it.

No loss here, I haven't used PayPal because of their anti gun stance in about 8 years.

Something seems fishy though I can't put my finger on it.  Something is just not right about a government official attempting to stop what is a legal and legitimate business practice.  You know that if he was sending letters to Ford Motor Co.s creditors (if they even have creditors) that junk wouldn't fly.

So what's holding him up?  Does he need help packing his bags?  Money for a plane ticket?  I will help him GTFO of this country anyway I can.

This idea is so lousy even the majority of the Huffington Post readers are talking about how silly it is.

Man I hate those things, spill more gas than you get into the tank.  I could fill up without spilling a drop with the old cans but these things are a mess.  A friend of mine calls them Obama cans, though I don't know if he had anything to do with them or not but since they don't work it seems fitting.  I see the OP is in Knoxville, check out Salvage Building Materials in Clinton, they had a few cheap good metal cans last time I was in there.  

I'm glad you were able to learn so much about me as a person and my ideals from one thread on the internet.  If you actually knew me you would know that I would not bow down to anything NEW that I didn't want to.  The whole motive of this idea was that the gun grabbers could be appeased (although that will never happen) and not worry about what we own because it is "safely locked away."  I know the whole thing is unrealistic, just wanted to throw something out there to kick around and give us something to talk about, that goes a lot better if we can leave personal attacks out of the conversation, let's not forget that all of us here are like minded and pretty much have the same goals in mind.

Points taken, just had an idea and thought that I would throw it out there.  I did forget for a minute that all of this legislation has nothing to do with guns, it's all about controlling the people.  I agree 100% that we should not budge and give anything up. 

I'm probably more against gun control than anyone I know.  I think we should be able to own whatever kinds of guns we want and whatever kinds of magazines we want.  Maybe I'm missing something here but as a compromise to current legislation how about a law that you can own any guns that are currently legal but you are also required to own a gun safe.  Yes, I realize that like any other gun law this one is unenforceable.  And, in reality, if any such measure was adopted it would be in addition to other absurd measures.  I'm just thinking in the case of Sandy Hook, Adam Lanza stole his mothers guns, had they been locked away at least those guns would have been inaccessible to him.  What about all of the stolen guns that get in the wrong hands, this would cut it down at least, maybe.  In reality I think I'm pissing in the wind here, common sense would never fly in the midst of all of the tomfoolery out there.   Note:  Before I had a safe I never appreciated the risks that I was taking by not having one.  I think there is a lot to be said to be able to know where your guns are at all times and that they are secure.  I had a safe before I had a kid but I can not imagine having guns in the house with a kid and without a safe.

It says that this aired December 15, I've been looking for a piece of media admitting that the AR was in the car the whole time.  Where has this been hiding for the last month?

And the nanny states will probably make some kind of exception for it stating that it is for the good of public safety or some other garbage.  I really do not understand what the great benefit of this is.  I would think that even in "gun free zones" such as government buildings and airports a traditional metal detector would be more effective as it would pick up other "weapons" that this would not.  The only use I see of this device is to violate the rights of people that are not currently causing any problems.  

I just got a notice from Amazon via email informing me of how much money I had spent with them in 2012 so that I could pay taxes on it.  I like using Amazon because it is convenient and often cheaper than going to the store anyway so I certainly don't mind paying taxes on the items that I purchased.    I am a little confused though.  I understand by law that if a retailer has a brick and mortar store in your state then you have to pay taxes on mail order purchases.  How does this apply to Amazon purchases?  I am aware that they have fulfillment centers in TN but it isn't like you can walk into one and purchase items.  

Could this possibly be a 4th Amendment violation? 

That's awesome that all of the vendors came together to essentially ruin this show.  Surprised the show promoters have not changed their minds yet.

Got the same...

I've personally boycotted the term for years.  Well said Sir.

I've seen several times reading this legislation, the term "bullet buttons."  I've never heard this term before.  After doing a little research it sounds as if a bullet button something that is used in commie states like Kalifornia?  If I understand correctly they can not use a conventional mag release, instead you have to have a special tool to release and magazine.  Under the proposed legislation bullet buttons would be illegal and magazine would be fixed completely.  Am I understanding this correctly?

Went by East Town Walmart today, they had a few random boxes, maybe a half dozen total.  None in popular calibers.

Here is an article   http://www.kltv.com/story/20649805/reported-shooting-at-lone-star-college-north-campus

I believe that they already have a no firearms policy, they did last time I was there but that was about 3 years ago.  I would have a hard time believing that they condoned hunting on their property anyway considering they have their own security force that patrols the property looking for trespassers.  From the sound of it anyone hunting there previously was trespassing anyway.  This is a privately owned facility is it not?   EDIT:  After looking at their website it looks like they have changed their policy to "Firing of weapons is strictly prohibited. NO TARGET PRACTICE!" I read this as "feel free to bring your carry weapon, please do not target practice at our facility."

Man if I had a dime for every time I've heard about false information being provided in a carry class...  It's pretty ridiculous, seems that these people who are required to get certification to teach these classes would at least have to provide accurate information to their students.  My wife has argued with me about where I can carry, duty to inform, etc, I can't remember where she took her class, it was before she met me.  It's sad really that these instructors are misinforming so many people.  I guess a lot of times they are the exact same people that dispense their knowledge from behind the counter of a gun store and we all know how unreliable those guys can be.

That is a great idea.  For the less tech savvy hook it up to an audible alarm.  That should get the thieves running quick!

While we are on the topic, I have been meaning to engrave my name and TDL# somewhere on the underside of my trailer.  I figure do it somewhere a thief would not look, on the slim chance it gets recovered you will be able to prove that it is yours.  From what I understand telling the PD "I know that's my trailer there because it has that scratch on it that looks like the scar on my mommas forehead" doesn't quite cut it.

Honestly, I saw this picture before having enough coffee this morning and it just rubbed me the wrong way.  I posted it as a knee jerk reaction, but that's okay because that is how this country operates now, right?  Seriously though, it just seems like they are getting in the face of gun owners and trying to stir something up.
