I respect your opinion. I posted it thinking that it might bring forth some discussion, although I did not want to write what I was thinking at the time. I didn't post it for the likes, only as information to discuss. I know I don't see everything that happens in the news and I don't mind seeing information posted that I may miss. If I don't want to see it, I just move on to the next post. Thank you for the perspective though. I will keep that in mind.

Maybe I have a misunderstanding of the word "General". When I see Forum headings of "General" Chat or "General" Politics, I thought that meant exactly what it said, or as Meriam Webster defines it "not confined by specialization or careful limitation". In other words, any subject. You won't get news stories like this on most liberal media because it does not fit their narrative of open borders. I thought some members on here might like to see it. I know I don't see everything that is happening in the world and it is good to see that members post articles of "General" Interest that help me keep informed. If this had happened to some of the open border advocates children, I wonder if they would continue to feel the same way about open borders. As far as politicians that advocate open borders, it is Alinsky rules "the ends justify the means" - collateral damage. More illegals, means more Democrat votes, which means more power and more control. Whatever it takes to get there. I was going to make the point that if beasts (MS-13) such as this were kept out of the country, we would have a safer country. I'm calmer today and can make that point more rationally than I could have when I posted the article.

I'll just make the post and refrain from comment. https://www.theblaze.com/news/ms13-stabbing-virginia-trump-dc

I would say you are probably right. His record is going to dig him a deep hole. It will probably be an easy way for the city to get rid of someone that has been reprimanded 10 times. If it had been anyone else with a good personnel record, they might not have had any problems.

You were right. https://www.theblaze.com/news/hallmark-drops-lori-loughlin-over-college-bribery-scandal-and-her-daughter-loses-deal-with-sephora

I would say that little town is going to have a lot of traffic that day. Looks like a few really nice one's in there.

Devastating rounds. Wonder how long these will last before they get outlawed by the government? https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/g9-bullets-review/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=20190311_BlogDigest_320&utm_campaign=/digest/g9-bullets-review/ http://www.g9bullets.com/

All I ever ask is that a purchaser have any one of the following: (1) A valid Tennessee HCP. (2) A Tennessee Armed Security License. (3) Be Law Enforcement. That tells me that a background check has already been done. I don't take pictures, I just want to see it and see that it is valid. I won't remember anyone's address, DOB, etc. I can't even remember my own much less anyone else's. Now what were we talking about again????

They are in trouble, too, and the common link of all of these far left organizations - George Soros. https://www.dailywire.com/news/44222/bombshell-ocasio-cortezs-top-aide-funneled-1-ryan-saavedra?utm_medium=email&utm_content=030519-news&utm_campaign=position1 https://www.theblaze.com/video/deep-pockets-ocasio-cortezs-primary-win-backed-by-young-turks-george-soros

That is great service. Wonder if they realize how many people they have affected in their next weapon buying decision, just on this forum alone.

John Wick 1 & 2 And I forgot to post what is coming in #3. https://www.sigsauer.com/john-wick-chapter-3-parabellum-and-recent-movies-featuring-sig/

A quote from Marsha Blackburn re: HR 8: DEFENDING THE SECOND AMENDEMENT On Wednesday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi rammed a radical, unconstitutional bill (H.R. through the House of Representatives to mandate universal background checks for every firearm sale. Protection of our cherished Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is a top priority for me. As such, I am 100% opposed to this bill. I will continue to oppose any restrictions on firearms that could unfairly target hunters, homeowners, and law-abiding citizens. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I will fight to ensure H.R. 8 is dead on arrival in the Senate.

I think you are right. 3% did the job the first time.

10-4 on that. I would like to know the story behind that one. I know HK specifically says in the User's Manual to only use brass. Anything else and HK's don't like it. You have to really work hard to break an HK.

No wall equals new Democratic voters. More Democratic votes equals more power. The rest is collateral damage. The Democrats using their Alinsky playbook, "The ends justify the means".

That would be good, but it is not in this bill. Just my opinion, but it probably won't happen. Dems will never agree, and again in my opinion, some Republicans are more worried about the next election than doing the right thing. Although the summary says the bill does include the following: (8) An enhanced handgun carry permit holder who is within or on a public park, natural area, historic park, nature trail, campground, forest, greenway, waterway, or other similar public place is generally exempt from the present law prohibition against carrying weapons on any property owned, operated, or while in use by any board of education, school, college or university board of trustees, regents or directors for the administration of any public or private educational institution. Such exemption will not apply to concealed handgun carry permit holders; and (9) A local government may not prohibit an enhanced handgun carry permit holder from possessing a handgun on public property unless the local government provides a security system consisting of metal detectors and inspection by trained personnel for such property. A local government will not be required to provide metal detectors and security inspections in order to prohibit concealed handgun carry permit holders from possessing firearms on public property. These would be improvements, but in #8 I would want to know more about what "generally exempt" means.

Wonder if any were using reloads in those photos????

If he literally stuck the weapon in the guy's face, he's lucky he didn't end up eating the barrel of his own weapon. A person can be disarmed in a split second if they are too close.

You may want to discuss these with your local State Rep and State Senator as you believe appropriate. February 15, 2019 Pending Bill Report. Please understand and note that some of the bills, like SB95/HB41, have already been amended to delete the entire body of the original bill and substitute entirely new language. This is a common practice, sometimes deceiving, as bills are filed to suggest one purpose and then amended to do something entirely different (as was the case a few years ago with a bill that originally would have held property owners that "post" liable for injuries occurring on their gun free zones but was amended to grant immunity to property owners who don't post). Therefore, it is important to read the text of the bills and not just these captions. You can look up the bills based on the HBxxxx or SBxxxx numbers on the Legislative website. If you are aware of a bill that you think TFA should be tracking but its not on the list, please let us know. There are a few bills of special note. SB446/HB187 by Sen. Mike Bell and Rep. Jay Reedy. This is a bill that TFA strongly supports. It prohibits local governments from discriminating against individuals and entities that promote 2nd Amendment issues, gun shows, outdoor shows, hunting events, with respect to the rental of publicly available facilities such as meeting rooms or venues at fairgrounds, parks, and public buildings. This is a high priority bill. SB1275/HB409 by Sen. Bell and Rep. Griffey. This bill would impose specific duties on law enforcement and district attorneys to investigate whether a civilian use of force was credibly self defense (many other states like Florida already require this). It also prohibits civil claims until the criminal case, if any is over, and provides civil immunity if it is determined that the use of force was self defense. This is a high priority bill. SB594/HB712 by Sen. Roberts and Rep. Faison. This is a technical bill to eliminate multiple inconsistent definitions of a firearm in Tennessee statutes by adopting the same definition of a firearm as contained in the 1968 Gun Control Act. SB705/HB1264 by Sen. Stevens and Rep. Holt. This is a curious bill because various House leaders including Casada and Lamberth are co-sponsors already. The bill would create a 2nd type of permit in Tennessee - a concealed weapons only permit and would reclassify the existing permits as "enhanced permits". The proposed "concealed permit" would under the bill's initial language be issued by the Department of Safety with no fee charged. It would also not require the completion of the Department of Safety's handgun training program but would accept training such as third party courses including hunter safety courses. The bill could potentially be amended to be constitutional carry if enough pressure was applied and amendments were made to strip out certain provisions and add others. The bill should be carefully assessed. SB943/HB1049 by Sen. Kyle and Rep. Johnson would enact the "Families Know First Act" which is a "Red Flag" law that provides a means for "extreme risk protection orders" and should be defeated. Tennessee already has laws on involuntary committals and dealing with people who pose an imminent risk of harm to themselves or others as a result of mental or emotional problems. This bill is just a "weapons grab" like most Red Flag laws. SB1178/HB1446 by Sen. Dickerson and Rep. Deberry. This is the expected "Red Flag" bill from Sen. Dickerson and should be defeated. SB1312/HB1476 by Sen. Kyle and Rep. Hardaway - another bill to hold people liable if guns are not unloaded and securely stored even if no one is harmed. Diverts funds to the domestic violence fund. SB258/HB260 - this is a rewrite of the previously defeated bill by Sen. Kyle (D.) to hold parents and adults liable if their guns are not securely stored, even locked and unloaded, and as a result someone is injured. This is a dangerous bill that sets a dangerous precedent and should be defeated. There is a similar bill under SB813/HB801 which pertains to leaving a firearm unattended in a car if there are minors in the car. SB403/HB167 - this bill does various things under a broad caption that makes it a dangerous bill for purposes of amendments. It covers everything from minimum sentences for firearms thefts, to carrying weapons and drugs into prisons, to reinstating drivers licenses for habitual offenders. This bill should be carefully watched and defeated in its current form. SB1010/HB1427 by Sen. Gilmore and Rep. Stewart - this bill would eliminate the "casual sale exception" and require that all gun transfers, even between individuals, be conducted through FFLs. SB1402/HB754 by Sen. Bell and Rep. Smith. This bill would create long term firearms prohibitions for those individuals who have been evaluated for involuntary committals but instead voluntarily agree to inpatient treatment. This bill could discourage people from getting evaluations and voluntarily agreeing to be assessed or treated. It is important that you read and study these bills that may be of interest to you and that you encourage your friends, families, employees and social media "contacts" to contact these legislators to support or oppose these bills as appropriate. Whatever contacts you have always remember to demand that they enact "full constitutional carry" and that they eliminate the "gun free zones". Calendar Report. The calendar for next week of bills is attached.

Absolutely amazing that she did not hit her head really hard on that roof. She obviously has missions in life that are yet to be completed.

They act like they are going through confirmation hearings on him and he's outta there in a couple of days. Wasted time at the public's expense.
