There is another discussion and a half going on about this but I’m not going looking for them. Now that this week old news is going mainstream expect the media to have a field day over their victory. I’ve seen it on Fox online and the ABC evening news tonight. Here is Colt’s poorly worded statement: https://www.colt.com/news/2630 Published 09/19/2019 Company Response to Questions about Colt Participation in Consumer Markets WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (September 19th, 2019) – There have been numerous articles recently published about Colt’s participation in the commercial rifle market. Some of these articles have incorrectly stated or implied that Colt is not committed to the consumer market. We want to assure you that Colt is committed to the Second Amendment, highly values its customers and continues to manufacture the world’s finest quality firearms for the consumer market. The fact of the matter is that over the last few years, the market for modern sporting rifles has experienced significant excess manufacturing capacity. Given this level of manufacturing capacity, we believe there is adequate supply for modern sporting rifles for the foreseeable future. On the other hand, our warfighters and law enforcement personnel continue to demand Colt rifles and we are fortunate enough to have been awarded significant military and law enforcement contracts. Currently, these high-volume contracts are absorbing all of Colt’s manufacturing capacity for rifles. Colt’s commitment to the consumer markets, however, is unwavering. We continue to expand our network of dealers across the country and to supply them with expanding lines of the finest quality 1911s and revolvers. At the end of the day, we believe it is good sense to follow consumer demand and to adjust as market dynamics change. Colt has been a stout supporter of the Second Amendment for over 180 years, remains so, and will continue to provide its customers with the finest quality firearms in the world. Very respectfully, Dennis Veilleux, President and Chief Executive Officer

That’s a man, man.

She’s a step up from the real one.

A first taste of what is being thought by Trump regarding changes to background checks. The actual document is in the article. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-possible-gun-background-check-proposal-capitol-hill

Politics has taken over everything.

“They” are not stupid contrary to some people’s beliefs. Frankly, I’m astounded that what OS referred to has not already happened.

“NASCAR rejected advertisements for its souvenir programs from multiple firearms companies earlier this summer as part of what is being seen as a "gradual shift" in its position on guns. The move may be another example of how major companies are adjusting as the nation grapples with guns in America....” https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/13/politics/nascar-bans-gun-ads-souvenir-program/index.html

It’s tomorrow evening.

Surprise, surprise. Y’all go ahead and get the tired dick jokes out of the way.

That was the day I stopped paying attention to CNN...or was it the day they had endless helicopter coverage of a van carrying a tree stump to FBI HQ that the DC shooters might have used for target practice.

True, but they can shutdown gun shows at Chilhowee “Park” at their whim. Just like when they decided it is not actually a park.

There’s no question about that. Sadly, far too many don’t realize it. Local governments have far more control over our daily lives than the feds. Something along the lines of less than 20% of registered voters bothered to participate in the primaries. That was a massive turnout for Knoxville.

I’ll tolerate that from all the yankee transplants and other fans of schools they didn’t go to around here but not from an alum. Get your head right. Go Vols.

That’s a Winchester 67 type rifle.

Let this be a reminder to everyone in all municipalities. The City of Knoxville is by no means some republican stronghold, it is actually fairly liberal government-wise as are ALL metro areas in the country. Even though Knoxville city elections are “non-partisan”, it is clear where most of the candidates stand. The lesson is that democrats are turning out in droves. Liberal activists are out in force and are running for office. This is all a direct result of Trump being elected. Democrats are more organized and driven now than they every have been. Keep an eye out on what’s happening in your local governments and go out and vote.

$8950 sounds like a great price for a nice Beetle Convertible, not that I’d know, but I know they aren’t cheap. That’s also about a third of what two of my dream cars are: a ‘67 Cadillac convertible or a ‘67 Lincoln convertible.

I reckon Greg is old enough to appreciate the fun in the simplicity and basicness of a VW. The only complaint I ever had with them is the stick shift is a bit on the short side. A couple of more inches taller would be nice. I drove a ‘70 Type III (Squareback) in college. Would love to have it back. Was a great car that didn’t leak oil. Dave, I had a deadhead sticker on it.

I imagine if it's still on the road after all these years it probably a good one. Many were not. You'll want a copy of this if you get it. https://www.amazon.com/Keep-Volkswagen-Alive-Step-Step/dp/1566913101

We’ll worry about that after Thanksgiving.

After two decades of uncertainty, I’m pretty sure about that.

Big whoop. The UT VOLS could beat Martin.

Mayonnaise no place on Bar-B-Q, much less anything else, lol. Man, I need to get back down to Memphis so I can eat right.

Kroger did that very thing after WM’s announcement. There is no doubt a wave is building.

“Kroger is reportedly removing certain gun magazines from its in-store racks...” Like I said, they still carry gun magazines...just not all of them.

The paper kind? No, at least not the ones around here.
