    So, why is this something only the anti-gun crowd can do?  The NRA's IRS Form 990 filed last September showed $36 million on hand after expenses.  What's stopping them from doing the same thing and getting pro-gun people walking the streets of DC and in swing states with adequate funding to support?  They manage to get an annual convention/trade show organized year after year, so you can't say they don't have the needed resources.

     

     

     

    It is because they want it to look like we are going to loose our gun rights. It creates fear within the gun community and it is that fear that generates income for them. I can guarantee they are sending out mailers demanding even more money to fight. They have plenty of money on hand to put up a strong fight but they refuse to do it so it looks like we are going to loose our gun rights.

    And the liberals do have something right, the NRA throws a lot of money at our representatives in Washington. Why would those in office not also benefit from this turmoil, they themselves have a hand in. I mean if the representatives we elected talk of restricting gun rights in comes the NRA to throw money at them. 

    Perhaps it is time to start following the money and embarrassing those in power who take NRA money but do nothing to help gun owners. What are all these A+ NRA rated legislators doing for gun owners? 

    We have a super majority and our gun rights are being stripped away faster than ever before. Remind me again how our representatives are representing those who elected them. They are only representing their own interests.

    The Clarksville I remember last trip through was anything but beautiful. I mean it was not like a little pig pen or anything and yea you can find something beautiful in any town if you look hard enough but just an over all view Clarksville ain't it................JMHO

    Clarksville is controlled by a democrat. Kim McMillan is a Democratic politician who is mayor of Clarksville, Tennessee, and was the first woman in Tennessee history to be elected Majority Leader of the Tennessee House of Representatives.

    Just another Tennessee town that has fallen to democratic control. Tennessee will be ruled by its democratic, liberal overlords before too much longer. Beauty is long forgotten when the boots of the government thugs are upon your neck. 

  3. To those worried about being called names by a bunch of kids. I would rather be called a racist, gun toting, religious nut than a subject by our government master.

    Seems to me we have a lot of people who are in violation of federal law. Tell me how this would not apply.

    18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights

    If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or

    If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—

    They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

    I have read a bunch of accounts of Trump supporters, gun rights advocates as well as religious people being threatened, intimidated as well as injured by those wishing to silence their 1st amendment right to free speech. Why are those who are committing these crimes not being arrested?

     

    2nd Amendment rallies do not happen very often so no one is going to convince me they cannot take a day off once a month  to attend. It isn't about loss of work because I know a lot of people who take a few days off a month to go fishing, hunting or some other hobby. Most working people can afford to attend a monthly event to save their gun rights, most just don't want to because they would rather sit at home in silent protest. And if you are worried about loosing your job because you took a day off I can promise you that if a civil war does kick off, because we can't come together now, not a single one of us will have a job. The banks will not suspend your house payment because a civil war took away your job.

    It is far easier to make a few phone calls, send a few emails as well as show up to an event or two than it is to survive a civil war. We have ~3 days of food and gas supplies in any given area. If we fall into civil war those supply lines will be cut off almost immediately. Electricity will be gone overnight. And when all that happens millions, according to government studies, will die from starvation. It will affect every single one of us. People of this country are not kind or compassionate any more, there has been a shift in people's thinking and what will happen when LE is no longer patrolling the streets to keep them in check? People no longer value life or property and believe if they CAN take it it they have the right to. 

    We have people who are seemingly aching for a revolution or civil war and it is obvious they have never been to an area of conflict. They have probably never wondered if today is their last or watch a close friend give their final breath for our country. Had they been they would be using every single tool available to prevent the very thing they seem to long for. There is nothing romantic or heroic about dragging our country into a war with itself. They long for a time when they can kill a fellow American under the guise of patriotism but there is nothing less patriotic than killing your fellow countrymen when all other avenues of change have not been exhausted.

    We are foolish to think a civil war will be easy. It wasn't easy 150 years ago and it will be even worse today. If you want to see what a modern civil war looks like go look at Argentina to see what civil war looks like. Go look at how people are now living in Syria, Ukraine or any other country that has a war waging in their streets. We will not be immune to the same conditions and because we are more modernized than any of those we will fair far worse. We will be a third world country inside of 6 months if we fall into a civil war.

  4. I have said for years that the liberals are far better at organizing than we are. They are better at protesting and they ARE the ones winning this battle and will likely win the war that is destroying our country.

    That is why the liberals have us beat and always will as long a we don't do the same. They get out and talk to people, they organize, they donate and they are very vocal. On the other hand Republicans sit in silence as their means of protest. I suggest we all take our angst and become more outspoken. Call your candidate and voice your support. Contact others and let them know who your support. Volunteer or donate to show your support. Heck, a few emails a day will go a long way. This will do more than sitting in silence waiting to vote for a candidate that has ZERO chance of winning against a candidate that is organized much better than we are. Sitting around doing nothing accomplishes nothing.  

    We bitch, gripe and complain then sit home on election day in protest. Our protests are ALWAYS a silent protest. Very few conservatives are willing to stand up to those who want to do us harm. Call me crazy, laugh and snicker all you want but we WILL be disarmed in our lifetimes. Our children will be left defenseless to the abuses by those in power, the same ones who believe we should be killed, because we did nothing when the time to act was upon us. Our time for standing up to be heard has already passed. We have already lost this battle and will likely loose the war because of our inaction. 

    Gun owners think donating $5 to the NRA as part of a "Money bomb" makes them an activist gun owner. They do it only to make themselves feel good and to absolve themselves of any guilt or responsibility for what IS coming. How many here have actually wrote or called their representatives? Very few because we would be hearing a lot more about how our representatives do not respond or want to hear from us. We send off emails in a flurry of emotion then sit idly by until something else affects us personally.

    It is the lulls in between when we should have been most active. Yelling when it is quiet will get your message heard a lot better than yelling when everyone else is yelling.

    I hear people say that they are OK with banning bump stocks. If you are one of these people please take your guns down and get that gift card because you are part of the problem. These are the gun owners who don't care for his fellow gun owners and will only voice their opinion to hurt the rights of other gun owners. 

    We have people, lots of them, who believe members of the NRA have blood on their hands and that those members should be killed. Those same people are the ones organizing these events and they will be the ones in power one day. I read every single day that white people are the problem and that they should be killed. At what point are we willing to open our mouths and actually say something to save ourselves? Perhaps it is only when we are begging for our lives that we will say something.

    It took Hitler less than a decade to forever change the face of history by killing millions. We, in our lifetimes, shall see ourselves disarmed and people will be left defenseless to act against those who want to do harm. And this is because we sit in silence when we want our voices to be heard.

    I actually been looking quite hard at that scope. My question is if the reticle is still visible if the battery goes dead? I not real fond of being dependent on batteries even though I do have a couple of EOTechs. :rolleyes:

    I need to build my pocket money back up anyway. There's a gun show next month and every time there's this one guy who has about 10 tables of optics in all descriptions. I may just wait to see what he has. 

    Yes, the reticle is just a normal, black reticle without the battery.

    I know. I've already gotten the "extras" blues.:rolleyes: Mags and ammo on the way. Locally I picked up a set of flip up sights, front sling swivel and a Magpul pistol grip. I have a sling and a case that'll work. For the time being at least, I'm gonna pull the EOTech 512 off another rifle to put on it. I'm not sure if it'll stay as I'm also thinking along the lines of one of those low power (1-4X) tactical type scopes. Maybe next month when my finances recover a bit. This is getting expensive! :wall:  But I knew that from the start. New rifle & new caliber always means lots of money. :grouchy:

     

    Well, I'm living proof that ya can't prevent getting older, but I've never grown up. :devil:

    Better be careful, that spare grip could lead to another AR. I know I have built an AR just so I don't waste a $25 grip. 

    One of the best 1-4 scopes I have used is the Bushnell 1-4 AR series scope. PSA puts them on sale from time to time for $150 and at that price they are a pretty good deal.

    Get this one:

    http://bushnell.com/all-products/rifle-scopes/ar-optics/1-4x-24mm-throw-down-pcl

    It is a FFP scope so the BDC works at all magnifications. It is also MIL adjustments which I prefer for ARs.

    I showed the other night but alas the crickets were the only thing I found.

     

    I was in there and talked to you but you never responded, just exited a few minutes after I responded. It was like 10 minutes after the last time you said something. 

    Murg and myself had a long conversation last night. 

    I am there most nights now.

  8. It has always been said gun rights will be lost in a single generation. It is happening now. We will see guns outlawed in most of our lifetimes  

    In less that 50 years we have went from a free society to one where we all must ask permission from our masters to do most things. 

    Our leaders tell us we are a free country as they create more laws to make us all criminals, often without a vote and by some bureaucrat. There are few places around the globe that has a government as controlling as this one. Our government is involved in all aspects of our lives. Think about how you cannot do anything without getting permission first and if you do agents of the government will come to your door and force you to ask permission under threat of violence.

    Oh, I figured. I don't think I see you riding around in a black limo. I would expect to see you in multicam in a humvee but that is just a guess.

    I don’t think I’ve ever sat in a limo. We rolled around in up armored Mercedes, Toyotas and Suburbans.

    I think Dolomite might be like me, I hate going  to Wal-Mart, but sometimes the cost savings wins out. 

    Not about the savings, it is the closest store that is a one stop shop.

    Half the time Wal-Mart employees don't even know their policies, let alone law. 

    One told me once that if you irritated him, he would refuse to sell you a gun. He said it like he had godlike power or something.

    Had a Walmart supervisor threaten the same thing for interrupting his lunch break to walk me out. I was just waiting on him to walk me out and stood around for close to an hour. When he showed up we asked him why it took so long and he said he was going to refuse the sale because we were being "hostile" because we asked why it took so long. 

    Had them refuse to sell me a rifle because they said my signature wasn't the correct way to sign. I showed them my DL, a civillian passport as well as a diplomatic passport with all the same signature. He still refused stating my signature must be "printed". 

    Had them refuse to sell 223 as well as 22 ammunition because they said ARs were banned as well as the ammunition used in ARs. They pulled all the ARs off the shelf and said they had been outlawed overnight.

    Walmart and I have had a lot of problems. Had a Tire Lube tech swing from an automatic rear hatch causing $1,000+ in damage. The manager had video from the day before the damage but said they had no cameras in the garage. When I called BS on that they said the camera malfunctioned and no video was available. I finally convinced the Walmart adjuster the mechanic did it when I showed him a video taken when we noticed the damage. The video showed obvious hand prints that were not from us because we always used the key fob. The repair facility said the mechanic had to have swung off the rear hatch door to bend the frame and strip the gears.

    I've had them tell me I am not allowed to carry an item to register because I might steal it. I have had them call me an idiot when THEY could not find an item. Overheard the sporting goods manager recommend a good pellet rifle to kill a neighbors dog. He also said hollow points should be outlawed and that 1911's were designed to maim children. I caught him hiding 5.56 and 7.62x39 and when I asked him why he said it was because they were bullets for "assault weapons".

    Correct. It's take the rest of the G17 mags for the other gens as well as the happy sticks. 

    It is a baseplate issue, nothing more. Swap the Gen 5 baseplate for a previous generation and it is no problem. Or you could just cut off the lip at the front of the grip and be able to use everything.
