Doesn't surprise me a bit. SCOTUS is just following the law. GCA 68 requires a serial number on all firearm receivers. An 80% receiver is still a receiver and is sold as such. Even if it isn't completely finished, there was never any doubt as to what it is. I've often wondered how they got away with selling them. You can still build your own gun. You just have to transfer the serial numbered receiver through a FFL.

I haven't heard much out of the rest of the state. Were the other protests just as much of a bust?

Down here if you FA you will FO.

That's a great movie!

I'd ask them why they object to the Constitution? I wouldn't take them off either.

I spent much of my career fixing all types of earth moving equipment. My advice is to buy used and then only buy a brand that has a dealership near you. Saving a few bucks in price is worthless if you can't get parts when you need them. Avoid anything with electronics in it. Older is simple and simple is better. There are still 30-40 year old backhoes out there working all day, every day. When I started finding computers in backhoes, I knew it was time to retire. Personally, I'd lean toward Ford/New Holland or Kubota. But most any name brand will probably be just fine.

I recorded the channel 13 news. They had the story and gave it an entire 1minute 23 seconds. Channel 3 at 10:00 didn't even report it. So pretty much a non-event.

The protest in Bartlett did happen. Channel 5 did all of about 2-3 minutes on it. A crowd of maybe 40 protesters. But there were also pro-Trump counter protesters there as well. Anyway, all went peacefully and nothing changed. I would post a link but, Channel 5 hasn't even bothered to post the story on their website as of yet.

And for all these years the liberals have claimed we were the dangerous people.

What most people don't know is that a Tesla has 7 built in cameras that cover every angle. Turning them on/off is an owner option. Unless the car is burnt to the ground, the video can be recovered and vandals can be identified. I'm guessing that these days any smart owner has them turned on.

I figure its either going to be a major event or a total flop. I'm leaning toward flop. A makeshift internet protest from some group nobody ever heard of? I'm thinking they'll be lucky if a couple of people show up. But then Memphis is plumb full of liberal idiots. I guess we shall see.

Interesting. I never heard of this particular group before. Sincere or wackos? The Tesla dealer in Bartlett is very close to a major intersection. It may cause some serious traffic problems. While I'm proud of Bartlett PD. I don't recall them ever having to deal with a large protest before. Should be interesting.

AI seems to be advancing natural stupidity.

I remember when Burt opened the original Guns & Ammo on Avon many years ago. Great guy, cared about his customers and offered fair prices. Back then it was one of those shops where you could stand around, visit and just BS for a while. Business boomed and he moved to the current place. It grew steadily for years and was a favorite place in Memphis. But Burt passed away some years back and his wife took over the business. From what I've heard, her sole motivation is money. She ran off the long time manager and I believe assistant manager as well. Prices went up and employee attitude and service went down. And as mentioned, the neighborhood has gone down quite a bit as well. I have no doubt that the current owner is a millionaire, maybe multi. I can easily see them just pulling the plug and retiring. Kind of a shame, but once you blow your reputation, there's no coming back.

I didn't know about the McIvor Shooting Range in Sardis and looked it up. Looks like a really nice place. But I'm guessing that, like MSSA, it will be crowded on weekends. Plus its about a 1.5 hour drive for me. I'm just not sure if I wanna do that. Will also depend a lot on when. I have things going on right now and its not a good time for me to take a full day away from home. I'd really prefer something in the Memphis area. Just a meet and greet for a few hours. I don't really care if we shoot or not. But see if you can work something out. I'm open to suggestions.
