He isn't too far off, Memphis is very crime infested on a day-to-day basis, so maybe it just wasn't noticed. https://www.areavibes.com/memphis-tn/crime/

Until the Libertarian Party gets more support, at least more toward the 33% of the vote they cannot compete in the General Election. in 2016 they only got 3.3% of the vote, which is the higher than in 2012 with just 1%, with all previous years at less than 1%. If during the Primaries, an alternate party gets a high percent of the vote, it would then let the winner at least know that some of their supporters are not happy with how things are working. In the Primaries, it may be a good idea to implement a Ranked Choice type of election, that way your vote goes to the party more closer aligned to your view of things. But in the General election, it is my opinion that votes get wasted if not given toward one the two leading parties. https://www.fairvote.org/a_history_of_independent_presidential_candidates https://www.fairvote.org/rcv#where_is_ranked_choice_voting_used

The fact that a vote for any party not an R or a D in the general election is a lost vote (actually goes against the side closer to your side of issues) fails to register on some folks. I would love to get some libertarian folks into office, but the best time to vote for them is in the primaries, once you get to the general election, they just bleed off votes from the Dem or Repub and may cause them to lose the election. I feel that is what happened when Perot ran, he caused the loss of Bush to Clinton.

Yea, little by little I am sliding into the non vaccinated camp. I will let the vaccine work it's thing for a few seasons before I get it, I am no longer active duty, so being a guinea pig is behind me.

Nah, sounds more like the SJWs in management decided to let the crowds arm themselves after the election.

Nice press, it will be a fine replacement for a standard single stage press. You shouldn't need anything extra right off the bat, it doesn't need special adapters for the dies or any shell holders either, but there are a few upgrades that will make it better. I'd use it as is for a bit before buying upgrades though, unless you're just into spending money.

It takes events like what have been happening lately to make some aware just how vulnerable they can be.

Dang, must of been a heck of a spot. Seems like bacon is on the menu.

Sounds like it would be a good case for the SC to rule on, once and for all.

I suspect they would have to call in the Navy Seals to recover all those guns from all the boating accidents that would surely follow.

You don't have another caliber? If not, or you just want to use your AR, then I would probably go with the heavier bullet, but make sure you have a fast twist, like 1:7 or maybe 1:8, anything slower may not stabilize the bullet enough.

I used to plant a bunch of cayennes, but would get so many that I gave most away. One thing I did was dry a bunch out by laying out on a newspaper, turning them now and then. Once dry, I ground them up and use them to sprinkle on food like pizza, steaks etc. Takes very little to spice things up. Tried the same with ghost peppers once, almost choked to death grinding them though. Gave that away, way too hot for my uses. Now, I'll do just a few, along with other peppers, depends on what strikes my fancy at the time I look for seed or seedlings.

Disagree with your assertion that the bump stock turns an AR into a machine gun, by that interpretation so does a stick, shoestring, or belt loop. Call it a loophole if you wish, but unless congress changes the definition of a machine gun, none of these devices make it one.

Commercial .223 vs surplus 5.56 ammo in the same weight. Any POI or POA changes vs the two.

Ok, I agree with you, but it is already illegal for them to possess guns. The only people that new laws affect, are those already following the law, simple as that. What we need is stiffer penalties for those that break existing laws, not more laws that criminals will ignore.

While I understand there is a difference, I haven't noticed any practical difference between the two, I sometimes suspect there is none, just packaging.

I picked what I thought was my last jalapenos, but I have flowers still and a few green tomatoes which may still have time to grow if this weather keeps up. I planted late, real late but still got a decent crop of peppers, the matters went to the squirrels as usual, hopefully the black walnuts will keep them busy so I can have this last batch.

Please explain the gun show loophole? All FFLs are required to do a BG check at a show or their establishment, private sellers are not, if at a gunshow or not. So are you saying you support having BG checks for private sales?

The thing about Trump, is that he will do what he says. It's up to us to persuade him to see things as we do, so when things like this come up he will act according to our side of things, and the Constitution. We will win some, and lose some, and like with the bumpstocks you will have some gun owners support the loses because they didn't like them.

Scroll to the bottom; Stats are from the CDC, as of Feb 2020. Assuming those deaths are correctly attributed to the China Virus (big assumption), that makes it the 6th leading cause of death so far, right above hypertension (high blood pressure), and under Alzheimer's.

Highly doubt it. https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/tennessee-cause-of-death-by-age-and-gender

Check your PMs, I sent the number for the Clarksville guys. You could stop by their shop and they will use your gun to mold the kydex.

There were some guys in Clarksville doing hybrid kydex/leather holsters a bit back, let me see if I still have their contact info. They used my Glock 23 to mold the kydex for a holster I got from them years ago, still holding up pretty well. I'll check to see if they still operate and PM you their info. https://www.gunlistings.org/tennessee-gun-classifieds/clarksville/accessories/221713/handmade_iwb_conceal_carry_holster

We were exposed to the military attack dogs and the tracking dogs in SERE, to give you the experience and possibly reduce the shock during the real thing. That is an experience that will not be forgotten. Even with a suit you can feel the pressure on your arm, and when they hit you full tilt, it is enough to easily get you off balance, so the ground portion is a definite possibility. I would sure hate to have one of them latch on to me without a suit, I am sure there would be blood and broken bones with some of these dogs.
