Ok, my views are pretty much as stated by the op's post. One thing most of this country cannot seem to grasp is the the doctrine of Muhammad states that all's fair, and I mean ALL, in dealing with the infidels. The infidel is one not of the Muslim followers. And we, as the Great Satan, are #1 on the long term list of to-be conquered lands.   This allows, no says and commands. that lying, cheating, deception, killing, and enslavement is the method to deal with all infidels. Meaning us. Anyone who does not accept the will of allah. (I will not capitalize it, because allah is not our God.)   The end goal of the muslim faith is the enslavement or destruction of all that does not conform and submit to Muhammad and Shariah law and government.   It is that simple. You can twist it around anyway you wish. You can take your touchy-feely liberal thoughts and suggestions and scream them to the high heavens and it will not change a thing.   The goal of Muhammadism is the enslavement and destruction of all that is not muslim.   Done. That's my opinion, and some will not agree. That is your prerogative.

They'll be in Nashville next month.

A Prius requires gas, this does not.  Apples and oranges really.  I never understood why people care so much about what other people want to spend their own money on.  It comes across as jealousy even if it isn't intended.  If you don't want one, don't buy one.

Finale sucked!!!!!!

Except the base tenants of Old and New Testament teachings completely disagree with you. The Bible teaches to give to Caesar what it's Caesar's, to submit to the governing authorities, regardless of who they are while maintaining your faith, and to live at peace with everyone if possible. Diametrically at odds with the base tenants of Islam. Your apologist morally equivalency is more than just a little wrong.

If I had $100K to spend on a car, I'd consider a Tesla.  I think they're a cool concept.  This biggest issue with the electric car concept is performance, Telsa proved it can be done.  Innovation has to start somewhere.  20 years from now these things may go 2K miles, or not, who knows.   They're still powered by fossil fuels, just indirectly.  

Of course, the very same thing could be said for Christians.    Theologically, No. Their allegiance is to Jesus and not the Constitution.   Religiously, No. No other religion is accepted. Jesus said "I am -the- way, -the- truth and -the- light. As pastors love to point out, he didn't say one of many.    Scripturally, No. His allegiance is to Christianity, God's laws and church doctrine. I remember hearing numerous pastors preach about following God's law, even when it conflicts with the laws of the world. Kim Davis was an example of this, breaking the law because of what she believed.   Geographically*, No.  His allegiance is to Israel, for Yahweh is the God of Israel. Many Christians make a pilgrimage to the holy land every year, and a large portion of Christianity takes it's marching orders directly from The Vatican.    Socially, No. Christianity teaches to be in the world, but not of the world. That's a fairly clear directive that Christians should 'maintain their distance' so to speak.    Politically, No. Again, Christians are instructed to follow God's law above all others. When they vote to enact legislation based of the Bible, they are forcing their religious beliefs and morals onto everyone. While they haven't yet required people to pray the sinner's prayer or go to jail, forcing others to behave in accordance with your interpretation of religious right and wrong by making it law is conversion by force, no different than forcing someone to convert at gunpoint.    Domestically, No. Christians are instructed that adulterous wives, heretics, blasphemers, etc should be stoned to death. They are also allowed to keep slaves, but instructed to be good masters.    Intellectually, No. Christians cannot accept the Constitution because it does not follow God's laws. It is based on principles that can be found in the Bible, but can also be found in the texts used by a wide variety of religions and societies all the way back to Hammurabi's Code. Christians feel they must control the country by limiting everything not specifically spelled out in the Constitution in accordance with their religion.    Philosophically, No. Christianity does not allow freedom of religion, as it says it is the only way. Christians have fought numerous battles to have their religious symbols placed in government buildings.    Spiritually, No. The Pledge of Allegiance was originally written to say "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". Christians were not okay with such a secular pledge and in 1954 managed to have the words "Under God" added to it.        *Geographically? How can anyone be a geographically good anything?  :bowrofl:

I know plenty of people that obey the laws, they are Americans; I wouldn’t call them “good” Americans. I’m sure there are Muslims in this country that mean us no harm. I am also sure there are Muslims that want to kill us for no reason other than religious beliefs. It’s just a warning sign. But then we continually ignore warning signs from home grown American non-Muslims that want to kill us.

The Islamic boogeyman is the only one that hates you and what you stand for enough to kill you....the other boogeymen...not so much.

Can a Muslim be a good American?   This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:   Theologically - no, because his allegiance is to Allah.   Religiously - no, because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam (Qur'an 2:256).   Scripturally - no, because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Qur'an.   Geographically - no, because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.   Socially - no, because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.   Politically - no, because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders) who teach the annihilation of Israel and the destruction of America, the great Satan.   Domestically - no, because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat his wife when she disobeys him (Qur'an 4:34).   Intellectually - no, because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.   Philosophically - no, because Islam, Muhammad, and the Qur'an does not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist! Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.   Spiritually - no, because when we declare 'one nation under God,' we are referring to the Christian's God and not Allah.   Therefore, after much study and deliberation, perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both 'good' Muslims and good Americans/Canadians; they cannot and will not integrate into the great melting pot of America. .The religious war is bigger than we know or understand. Muslims everywhere have said they will destroy us from within."

I've got a buddy that is in town before his next deployment. He mentioned he wanted to get his HCP while here and asked where he could get in a class on short notice. I let him know that i thought he would be exempt from the class due to military training. I also told him there is some sort of discounted rate but i couldn't remember the exact amount.   He went to the DMV on WEDNESDAY, March 30th. They took a look at his credentials and certification letter from his commanding officer and then charged him $60 for processing. They did not really tell him when to expect the permit or if the certification letter would exempt him from the class.   In the mail TODAY--APRIL 4th-- he received his HCP. 4 BUSINESS DAYS!! Seems like it takes longer than 4 days to get a letter to Knoxville from NE TN.   Anyway, hats off to the state. I'm impressed. :hat:    

Several charging stations in west knoxville. Although I think they call them Testacle's :) :)

Honestly I think Abraham is the one who bought it.  *shrug*

The wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the episode.   I love how they showed Rick all cocky and feeling tough early. He'd just whooped some Saviour a$$, got out unscathed, and showed them who was boss. He drove away from the first roadblock feeling all magnanimous, like he'd just spared their lives. Each subsequent roadblock he felt more scared, less in control, and more blocked in. They abandoned the RV STILL thinking they'd out-smarted Negan only to find out they'd been played the whole time and had been herded like sheep straight to the wolves.   When he was captured by the Terminus cannibals, he was all righteous and tough, but he's finally met a vastly superior foe. Rick was broken by the end and helpless.

Not sure what you're paying for the scrap, but by the time you smelt it (counting time and propane) the add the cost of tin and/or any other add-ons to make a good usable alloy, you can get it from Rotometals for very little (if any) more and have a KNOWN alloy of superior quality.  

If you want to get really upset do a GOOGLE and ask how many mosques have been built in the U.S. the last 10 years then check the figure on how many are in Tennessee.   Its not Isis Christians are worried about its the so called friendly Muslims that will take over.  Most people have no idea what their intent is. Most have their head in the sand.  Do you have any idea how many are working in our Government?  After Hillary gets in she will get 2 or maybe 3 supreme court  judges and then the parties over.   She WILL get our guns take my word.  The Constitution will be down the drain. 

I'm tired of the stupid look on Rick's face when he's thrust into these situations. It's starting to wear on me that he's just always got a look like he's bewildered that these things are happening to his group. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good post Ron, that's why I carry a 1911. I'm not worried about thugs, I try to stay out of their territory. Islam has proclaimed death to America and Israel all of my lifetime. Muslims have invaded America and my territory. I recognize my enemy, I'm proud to be an Infidel. I think it's clear that WW III is going to be about islam, it'll be based around the Euphrates River, that's 100% muslims.

A wolf remains a wolf even if it has not eaten your sheep.

Funny, I thought to be a good American, all you had to do was follow our laws.  Guess all that goes out the window when the Islamic boogeyman is involved.

I have the opportunity to buy several older guns,Walthers mod ppk 765 and a mauser mod hsc 765 are the one's that interest me the most. They both have the original leather holsters but are far from mint. Best I can tell they run 200 to 800. Does that sound right to you guys? Are they worth messing with? I could probably get them for 200 or 300.

That is one of several options to qualify. You do not necessarily have to operate a business and certainly you can be in the start up stage where you have no income but anticipate future income. https://www.tn.gov/assets/entities/revenue/attachments/f1308401.pdf I strongly recommend bringing the form i person to the TN Dept of revenue as there will be a guarantee that some stupid thing wont be to their liking and you can solve the issue on the spot vs mailing back and forth.

I have also thought that maybe it's not even written who dies yet. Could the cliffhanger have bought some time for them? Unlikely though possible.

Don't let it get you down to much. The first bird I ever shot at, I pulled to the right and hit him but, never found him. I was kinda upset for a while too. It happens.

http://coolfiretrainer.com/AWSCategories/p/9/Kits   anyone played with these?  It looks like a good tool for training, safe/no blowing through $$$ ammo and you can do it in your house.

Within the US, only one major religious following has any significance in affecting policy through the chief executives and legislatures at the local, state, and federal level, and it surely isn't Islam.   I'll worry about their political aspirations inside America when I have to, until then...meh.

My first inclination is to think Glenn as he's been living on borrowed time since the dumpster incident.  Abraham, on the other hand didn't show nearly the fear that the rest of the bunch did.  That could have worked for him or against him during the selection. 

  I agree 100%...but, I still feel the same way about people who buy Glocks.

If you want thermite just let me know got pallets of it at work in 5lbs bags all i request is you video it so i can show it in safety class

Ok Gents, Wicked edge emailed me my Gen 3 Pro set and all the goodies I ordered are being shipped later next week, this means it should be waiting for me when I get home around the middle of the month, I figure after 2 weeks of practice on my own knives I will be ready to set prices and start accepting knives to sharpen, Look for me to do this around the first week of May if all goes as planned!

No, because our Constitution and sharia law are incompatible. Also, the muslim goal is to establish a world caliphate.

Speaking of his new motorcycle show, on talking dead last night, when they plugged it Hardawick ask if amc was giving out free vibrators for the show.

Very cool.  Thanks for the heads up.

I'm talking about physical seeing with your eyes in the dark. Any patch of woods were the tree tops touch is virtually impossible to navigate without artificial light and a compass. The premise is more retarded than actual zombies

If you can smell it you are getting harmful fumes. Even outside may not be enough if there is little or no wind or if it is blowing in your face. I thought I was doing enough to protect myself and poisoned myself. After that I started becoming anal about anything to do with lead. I wear a mask, a real mask, anytime I turn a pot on or handle them up until they are powder coated. After casting I strip naked before coming in then go straight to a shower. I no longer cast unless it is something I cannot buy.

https://practiscore.com/results/18226 Thanks everyone!

  Heh I was about to say buy it now until I realized the 765 was a pistol :( Gunbroker has the hsc @ 300-500 depending on its condition and such.  At the worst 300 is a break-even point it looks like; you might turn a profit. There are too many walthers for me to be sure what you are talking about here.  If its 300 each, youll need to figure out the value.  If its 300 for both, go for it.

This is so worth it! Monkey and I would love to come but he's having surgery the day before so we won't be able to attend! I hope you guys all have an amazing and safe time! I remember my first FA. Exhilarating.

In my area, most all of us are gun enthusiasts, or as some may say, right wing nut jobs. The libs think if students/staff have guns, it will be a wild west shoot out when grades are posted. The "gun in bars" legislation didnt result in druken ok corral, but this is different.....eyeroll

There is a thread already on this with no definitive answer (I think). The entrance is a construction site right now still also so there might not be anywhere to post something anyways.

My thought would be trade it for a Browning

I DO NOT support selective legislation regarding who can carry where. This being said, as a college professor I have to welcome any legislation that allows me to help protect the children under my care. I have felt hamstrung for years by stupid liberal head in the sand policies that are nothing but feel good garbage. ffr1910

Why sure! If they are in good working condition and pique your interests, go for it!

  I try not to, but I can't write all of them off.   I wish it were that easy.  

Any sign that was conforming (pretty much any sign), will still be conforming until 2018. My rule of thumb is any sign I see is legal because I understand the property owner’s intent. If I don’t see it; it probably isn’t legal under any version of the law.

OK. I went with the Springfield Loaded. I felt the quality was better as was the fit and finish. Also has a nicer trigger. Thanks for all the good information. Helped a lot and I'm a happy camper now!

THIS WILL BE MY MOST VALUABLE FIXED BLADE KNIFE I WILL EVER OWN. I asked if we could show the progress of the manufacture process and he agreed. Get ready for a slow but very concise view of a custom high quality knife in progress from stage one. The steel : The Template : The Trace : The Rough Cut Out : MORE TO COME .......... :cheers:

Sig Mosquito has a terrible double action trigger and there is little you can do about it.  The Mosquito, at best, is a soda can plinker that can prove to be very picky ammo wise.  The only guy I know who knows how to get the Mosquito trigger decent is some dude known as Mississippi Dave on rimfirecentral.com.  I have worked on 2 Mosquitos just for the education and I will never do that again.     It is a clamshell design and whoever sold Sig that bill of goods sure pulled the wool over a company that typically produces true Tier 1 guns.  I wouldn't buy a Mosquito with other peoples' money, I consider it that bad.   The Ruger MK series has been out since 1949 with relatively minor changes over the decades.  The MK series is a Tier 1 pistol that when you replace the sear, trigger and extractor and install an ergonomic grip and maybe kiss the crown will give you a pistol that can win you matches against pistols costing 3 times as much or don't replace those parts and run about a million rounds through that pistol.     The Sig Mosquito is not in the same class as the Ruger.  Now are there have been good Sig .22s? Sure, the Hammerli made Trailside, which I used to own, was so underrated that it is now sold for 2.5x it sold for as the Sig Trailside, now as the Hammerli Xesse.  The GSG made, Sig 1911, is a nice beer can plinker.  I had a Sig 220 Single Action Target Elite in .22lr and it was an OK pistol.   But if you want to spend your hard earned money on a Mosquito....
