Well the local news, Channel 3, made this there 2nd story at 10:00pm. Only a shooting beat it for top place. They're presenting it as if its a real thing that politicians want to make happen. https://wreg.com/news/local/memphis-city-council-members-propose-gun-reform-measures/ “We’re passing this ordinance understanding that we will be sued by the state of Tennessee,” Smiley said. “But we will stand our ground and make sure that people in the city of Memphis will be safe.” Just when you thought politicians couldn't get more stupid, one comes along to prove you wrong.

Very likely. But look at how stupid it makes them look. Then again, in Memphis, stupid is a way of life.

There have been rumors of this for a couple of weeks now. It appears that next Tuesday it will be presented to the Memphis City Council. Local news tonight reports that a couple of Memphis City Councilmen are fed up with crime and intend to introduce city legislation on gun control. The proposed law will: 1. Outlaw permitless carry within Memphis city limits. 2. Make it a violation to store a gun in a vehicle. 3. Outlaw owning an "assault weapon" inside the city limits. Never mind that this would be in violation of State law. They intend to try it. Hopefully smarter members of the city council will kill this stupidity quickly. But I wouldn't be one bit surprised if they tried it.

AARP is nothing more than a left wing shill for insurance and drug companies. No way I'd join.

Not really. But I do remember when Rowlf the dog played piano on the Jimmy Dean Show.

I grew up on Country Music and loved it. But then I was listening to the likes of Johnny, Merle, George and Tammy and such. But I gave up on it somewhere around the turn of the century. What they call Country these days sounds more like bad 80s pop to me. It seems that somewhere along the way Country Music lost its soul. So I really don't care what the CMA or its members do. These ain't my people anymore. As for being woke? I'm gettin' old and I'm set in my ways. I ain't woke and never will be. If you don't like it, tuff.

Mine are 42 and 38. I don't see 'em all that much anymore. But when I do, its hugs and I love yous all around. And for those of you who are fortunate enough to still have your parents, do the same when you see them.

My hair went gray in my mid 30s. Its a family trait. When my son's were young, I spent 12 years as a Boy Scout Leader. During that time I took an advanced Scoutmaster training course called Wood Badge where I was assigned to the Fox Patrol. It took my fellow scouters all of about 30 seconds to dub me "The Gray Fox". The nickname just sorta stuck.

That's the symbol for Hiltler's Waffen SS. A real bad sign.

Interesting. I could be wrong. I really hope that you're right. But the democrats do believe the migrants will vote for them. That's why they want them here. Especially the ones that flock to blue states.

Information or misinformation? You seem to be suggesting that this story is being manipulated for devious reasons. Please explain for us dummies that ain't gettin' it.

My Dad loved chicken livers and gizzards. I've had 'em, never really been much of a fan. Let's not even discuss beef liver. Can we just get back to normal junk food?

The Democrats want the illegals here. They want open borders and to fast track the road to citizenship. The reason is simple. The vast majority of these people vote Democrat. I have no problem with legal immigration or work visas. The problem is that there are thousands of illegals crossing our borders daily without any papers at all, They're scattering all over the country to take advantage of government programs that they don't pay one cent for. Migrant workers may be a necessary evil in regard to farming and food processing. But what about the thousands of them in New York, Chicago or even Memphis and other large cities? There ain't a whole lot of farm work there.

We ate at Jack Pirtle's quite a bit when I was a kid. It was good. But I think there's only one left in Memphis and its no where close to me. I haven't eaten there in years.

I have worked with a lot of illegals over the years. The city I worked for used a lot of illegals for menial manual labor. They got them through one of those temporary worker agencies. But you ask How can a city (government) hire and use illegals? Simple, the contractor they were hired through absolutely swears they're legal and the City just takes their word for it. The city just plays dumb in order to get cheap labor. I've talked with lots of them over the years. They freely admit to being here illegally. What's more is that most of them have absolutely no desire to become U.S. citizens. The general plan is to work in the U.S. for 10 -15 years. Save their money and go home to mexico or wherever and retire in comfort. Meanwhile they take advantage of everything our government gives them. Their kids go to our schools for free, they get food stamps and health care. But never pay any medical bills that this care might leave. They don't pay taxes. I've been told by them that as many as a dozen of them share the same fake social security number. Simply put, these people come here to make a lot more money than they can at home and use us for all they can get without giving us anything in return. One guy in particular worked with us in the city shop for about 8 years. Nice guy, good worker. We all liked him, but we hated what he represented. He started out as a clean up guy. Just pushing a broom. He finally talked the boss into letting him do simple stuff like oil changes. The guy had a knack for it and over the years, with our teaching, he became a pretty good mechanic. But then he started doing side work at home for his illegal friends. Before long, when he could make more money at home than working for us, he didn't bother to come in. Didn't even bother to call in. BTW: He got caught a deported 3 times while he worked for us. He was usually back in about 3 weeks. Some of you may recall his story from the news. One day the cops were serving a warrant. By mistake, they went to his house when they should have been across the street. He answered the door drunk and had a gun in his hand. Police shot him dead on the spot. His wife ended up with a million dollar+ settlement and went back home to mexico. So don't tell me they're harmless and not to worry. I know better.

This is an Astra Cub. Made for and imported by Colt in the pre-GCA '68 days. Its actually a well made little gun. I had one once many years ago in .22 Short.

Hell, the Guard is there to welcome and help take care of them. They aren't allowed to confront the illegals, so they get to be their keepers.

What I'm hoping for is the session to be called to order, the subject addressed and a huge overwhelming "NOPE!" and everybody goes back home.

I'm thinking that gun is in the hands of a cartel down in Mexico.

Yeah, Wendy's Baconator is pretty good. I'm right fond of Sonic's Super Sonic Bacon Double Cheeseburger. Bacon makes everything better.

The original What-A-Burger from the 60s-70s was famous because they were huge! The thing would take up an entire plate. Plus they were very tasty. Grilled just right. This new version ain't no bigger than any other fast food burger and doesn't taste any better. And the service was slow to boot. I was very disappointed. I won't bother going back.

Ain't that the truth. We had What-A-Burgers in Memphis when I was a kid. I loved 'em! So when they came back just recently, I got all excited. I've eaten at the new one once. I won't be going back.

A woman in Texas went to a local range. First she rented and handgun and shot it. Then she returned to the counter, rented a full auto MP5, walked out the door with it and drove away. https://www.kens5.com/article/news/crime/surveillance-videos-show-woman-stealing-machine-gun-from-shooting-range/273-5d63c2e1-1c87-43cc-b1c2-7e05f8b8a69b She has been arrested. But no word on the sub-machine gun. It seems to be gone. https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/woman-accused-of-stealing-machine-gun-from-shooting-range-arrested-converse-texas-bexar-county-sheriff-deputies-evidence-jail-charges-handgun#

As I understand it, Garcia never finished Basic Training. He was cut pretty quickly.

Holy Crap! That guy was one sick SOB!. He needed killin'. Wasn't there a fuss a few years ago after some guy shot up a church and it was discovered that he had been dishonorably discharged from the military? Air Force I think it was? Anyway FBI was supposed to be informed and this guy banned from ever buying any guns, but it didn't happen. Has anybody heard where Garcia got his guns? Did he buy them legally and how was he able to?
