  1. I don't think Kim is crazy. I think it served him well to convince our dickless leader (Obama) that he was crazy. If he plays ball with us, it will be because Trump offers him a deal that's better than his current crazy dictator deal. Trump made it clear... If you point that nuke at me, I'm gonna kill you. In the meantime, I'm gonna starve you half to death. Obama never had the nads to confront him. I'm just not all that worried about Kim. Trump is offering to make his life better, and only has to throw him a few bones to do it.

  7. We Tar Heels are under attack! We have been infiltrated by Moral Busy Bodies! We are digging in our heels but I thought you Ridge Runners should know what's going on, on your right flank. The House Rep from Hippie Hill and the Bull City have joined up. They have introduced a bill that will restrict handguns like New Jersey or Maryland. This is from North Carolina Gun Owners. Verla Insko is from Chapel Hill and introduces a "Common Sense" gun law every year. Now she has Ms. Morey from Durham to play with. These two foaming at the mouth moral busybodies are perfectly willing to sell our rights while they live safely in their gated communities. I have been keeping an eye on Ms. Insko for a few years now and until now she has just been a harmless busy body but she is starting to show her fangs so beware! You can thank the good people of Chapel Hill for this insult to liberty. C.S. Lewis warned us about these moral busybodies in the following quote: "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals." The article below is from the Daily Tar Heel. Ms. Insko's babbling is in red. Insko said she signed the bill because of N.C. House Bill 588 — which she believes makes guns and ammunition more available to citizens in North Carolina. “We don’t have to have people armed to fight a war by themselves,” she said. There is more than one gun per person in the United States, making it the most heavily armed nation in the world, Insko said. “The ‘stand your ground’ law is not needed,” she said. Insko said this first revision of the bill will repeal the “stand your ground” laws, which permit the use of deadly force if you are presumed to be in danger when someone enters your house, vehicle or workplace uninvited. “That’s giving an individual the right to be the judge, jury and executioner all at once,” she said. When there are professionals who are trained in crowd control and know when or when not to use deadly force, Insko said citizens do not need to protect themselves. “Most of the people breaking and entering don’t do damage and harm anybody,” she said. N.C. Rep. Larry Pittman, R-Cabarrus, said in an email the bill would limit self-defense to inside one’s home. “Currently, it is recognized that citizens have a right to defend themselves outside the home, as well,” Pittman said. Pittman said he thinks House Bill 723 violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. “If it were to pass, what it would mean for the State is the reduction of freedom for our law-abiding citizens,” he said in the email. Pittman said the bill presents an unjust requirement for legal gun owners. “I am adamantly opposed to this or any legislation that makes our law-abiding citizens more vulnerable to attack,” Pittman said. Current law already provides restrictions and limitations on those who possess of firearms should only be restricted in limited situations as current law provides, he said. “Every honest citizen has a God-given right to self-defense, wherever they may be,” Pittman said. Paul Valone, president of gun rights organization Grass Roots North Carolina, said the N.C. House continues to introduce similar bills to keep their constituents happy — when it knows they will never get to a committee hearing. “(We) shouldn’t be wasting time on it because the bill is dead on arrival,” Valone said. Valone said while “stand your ground” laws are necessary, the “Castle Doctrine” is key. “The (“Castle Doctrine”) creates a rebuttable legal presumption that if somebody forcibly and unlawfully enters your home, your motor vehicle or your workplace, then you are presumed to have a reasonable fear of eminent death or great bodily harm,” Valone said. He said he thinks the new bill is no more effective than current law, which already restricts the contexts under which an individual can use force to defend themselves. And Valone said the motivation for the bill is wrong. “(Verla Insko is) utterly wrong and demonstrating the ignorance that gun control advocates generally profess,” he said. Current law was crafted to add protections and allow for judicial discretion, he said. “The idea that someone is going to be wrongfully killed is absurd,” he said. I contacted Verla Insko and very respectably asked her if the Daily Tarheel had misquoted her. She kindly replied that they had not and she meant everything she said. When you e-mail these people, don't be ugly. Be respectful and state your point and thank them for their time.

  8. I bet it is an attempt to garner goodwill and head off getting named in the lawsuit. Especially since the fbi won’t be paying dick.

  18. I've held one. It's a great gun for people that have trouble racking a slide or have trouble with recoil, I think that is who the gun is aimed at. Otherwise, it's a .380, the size of a 9mm. The gun fills a need, but not really appealing to most shooters. I went the .380 route one time, thinking I wanted a pocket pistol. Realized that I can't hit squat with one of those micro .380s, and not very pleasant to shoot. The M&P .380 should be a good shooter, just a little on the light side when it comes to caliber.

  19. I've lived in St. Louis and Houston. Nashville isn't all that big IMO. It has just outgrown its infrastructure in a way that won't be fixed in my lifetime. I don't want to spend a huge portion of my life waiting to get where I am going. I HATE traffic, especially when they are all on the damn phone. Like I said... been here for 25 years.
