  1. The way I see it, ammo makers already can sell all they can make to the private market. I wouldn't sell them a single round.

     

    It's not like they have warehouses full of the stuff they need to move to stay afloat. If they were on hard times I could see them making a deal with DHS but there is really no reason to unless they could sell to them a greatly inflated prices.

  2. I thought the pres, vice pres, and speaker were not suposed to be at the state of the union. Maybe I'm wrong and haven't noticed it from the other state of unions but it seems like I was told it was so if somebody set off a bomb or something it wouldn't kill them all.

     

    To be honest if Beohner wasn't there I wouldn't loose any sleep over the others on stage. I could probably let him go as colateral damage though.

  3. I'm sure all the ammo and gun makers are running full blast. People are just buying it up faster than they can make it.

     

    I wonder (especially the AR makers) if they are investing in much new equipment though. I'm sure they are running full blast what they have but you can understand them being reluctant to invest in more production when the guns they make could be banned in the near future.

  4. Does anybody really care that he cut up his AK? He managed to garner a crowd of all of about 2 dozen.

     

    It actually kind of looks like he turned a perfectly legal AK into a illegal SBR from where he cut it. I can't really tell from the pic but it looks like he just cut the barrel and gas piston and not the reciever. Maybe we should press to get him charged.

  5. I have to admit that I don't do as good a job of keeping up with the voting record of congressional members in Washington as I do the members of The General Assembly in Tennessee.  With that said, I too agree that we need to keep pro Second Amendment people in Washington, regardless of whether they are Democrat of Republican.  A good example from Tennessee would be Eddie Bass.  I for one am really sorry Eddie Bass is no longer in the General Assembly.  While a Democrat, we could be hard pressed to find a stronger supporter of our conservative values and Second Amendment rights. 

    So, yes I would not want to see the GOP loose the House, the REAL message is to hold ANY member accountable for infringing on our Second Amendment rights. 

     

    I think the same way about Doug Jackson. He was the main one that got the parking lot bill going the first time and submited several pro gun bills. His distric used to be very democratic and I think the just ran as a Democrat to get elected but was pretty conservitave.

  6. "He does not foresee the day that sheriffs would be taking guns away from anyone who legally has the right to possess them."

     

    Kind of sounds like a way out if you ask me. If they pass a law to make a firearm illegal, we won't have the legal right to possess them. So to me that means they could be coming to get our guns.

  7. There is not much TN can do about blocking the feds.  About all TN can do is ask the local and state police not to enforce certain federal laws.  The state of TN can't block ATF from enforcing fed laws.

     

    True but law enforcement can make it hard on the feds by not cooperating. I venture to say that the majority of fed firearm crimes are orginally brought about by local and state police and then turned over to the feds. Without the orginal local arrest, the arrest never would have happened.

  8. I've recently wondered if the government would just start denying all beckground checks for guns. Or just start dragging their feet and make it take days (if not weeks) to get a background check passed. They could blame it on the huge surge in firearm sales for the delay. They could just lay off about half of the people that do the checks (blame in on republican budget cuts) so it would take a long time to get a background check passed.

     

    I'd make a good liberal. I can think of all kinds of ways to screw us gun owners. Most of witch I won't post in public for fear one of them may take one of my ideas. I'm sure it's nothing they haven't already thought of though.

  9. You don't have to ship them all home. You get tough on the employers that hire them and they will take care of themselves. When the jobs dry up they will go back home.

     

    If they don't seal the boarder before they do anything the problem is going to be many times worse in a few years. When the illegals get a pass that will only make more come for the hope that they will also get a pass.

     

    Here is the real deal- Dems see more votes if they can turn more of them into voting citizens. The reps. think that they can steal some of the hispanic votes if they go along with this mess. Personally, I don't think the reps. will gain very many votes because the illegals also want handouts that the dems like to hand out.

     

     

    Unless BHO really screws things up ( He's going to really screw things up but I'm takling about something that screws the "free cheese" people), I don't see us winning a president election in the forseeable future. There's just too many "free cheese" people out there and BHO is going to appeal to more and more in his second term. I do think we still have a chance to hold good numbers in congress though

  10. I know what you say is true, however, I'm not going to willingly offer my information directly to the White House. They can work for it. The way I see it is I'm a job creator. 

     

    True.

     

    Sure, the government is able to collect all kinds of info on us. They could surely see me sitting in my house while I type this if they wanted. We are still hidden though inside the massive amount of info they have. No need to bring yourself to the top of the list if you don't have to.

  11. I think it will be a plus for us if more guns are added to the ban list. I say add handguns also to the list, add them all.

     

    The fact is the more guns that are on the ban list, the more people it pisses off. There's a bunch of gunowners that are ok with just sitting on the sidelines as far as "AWs" are concerned. You go to talking about taking away their personal firearms, they may move to action. The more guns that are added also makes the grabbers look more crazy.

  12. When I'm teaching kids how to shoot and it's time for them to move up from a .22, I move to the AR. A adjustable stock fits them better, it's light, and there is almost no added recoil over a .22.

     

    Dispite what the MSM tells us, a .223 AR15 is a pretty low powered firearm compared to most "deer" rifles. Until recently it was deemed too small to deer hunt with in the state of TN.

     

    The next time I hear some blowhard spouting about how powerful a AR15 round is, I wish somebody at the table would pull a .223 round and a 30-06 round (or any popular deer hunting round) out of their pocket. That should shut them up real fast or if it don't maybe some of these "hunters" will realize that they will soon be coming after their guns too.

  13. He should be fired. There's nothing wrong with him voicing his concerns behind closed doors with NRA senior management. What is unacceptable is him doing it publicly. It would be grounds for termination in just about any organization.

     

    I'm starting to wonder who's side he's on.

  14. The list is just to make the gun grabbers feel good so they can brag about specific gun models they will ban. It really doesn't matter and is a non-issue. The other parts of the proposed ban already bans most guns on the list and many others will be banned that aren't on the list.

     

    If the list was all there was to it, all the makers would have to do is change the model number of their gun. The problem lies in the other parts of the bill where they ban guns by features and not model numbers.

  15. The NRA sends me "polls" all the time. I think they are just fundraisers that are made to look like polls. They ask a series of questions about your stance on gun regs and then at the end they ask for money.

     

    That's ok because right now they need all the money they can get but I've always had the feeling that they take the check out of the envelope and throw the rest of it in the trash when they get it.

  16. I know people (myself included) have had problems with the NRA in the past. I'll have to say I think they've seen the light and they are standing their ground firm this go around.

     

    I can say I'm proud to be a NRA life member and have been actively signing other people up. Let the MSM keep trying to run them into the ground, every time they do membership spikes.

  17. I don't wanna insult any teachers but it'd be easier to train an SRO to teach than to train a teacher to engage a hostile enemy.  

    Now I'm not saying an SRO could teach physics or anatomy and physiology but hell, anyone can be a gym teacher.  If your SRO isn't in good enough shape to teach gym, then that person shouldn't be an SRO!  Pay them to mop up hurl and lung butter.  Empty the trash.  Have them teach some lame subject like Agriculture or equally low tech subject.  Teacher's aid, hall monitor, whatever. Double duty would enable the budget to pay them MORE and the more you pay an SRO the more that person will stick with the job.  

     

    That would be fine too. The end result would still be a armed teacher.

     

    I don't care how they get there but a certain amount of teachers at each school need to be armed. I'm not saying they would replace the SRO but compliment them.
