In case any of y’all have missed the brouhaha surrounding Rob Pincus this past week, he partnered with Dan Gross (former head of the Brady Campaign) and penned an op-ed in Ammoland News calling for expanded background checks and compromise with the anti-2A crowd. https://www.ammoland.com/2021/03/guns-in-america-ending-the-culture-war-starting-a-productive-conversation/ Here is a good rebuttal, also published by Ammoland. https://www.ammoland.com/2021/03/say-no-more-gun-owners-compromised-enough/ —————————- My personal thoughts. I’m not a fan of “cancel culture” but Rob Pincus is a large and well known name in the gun community. He has been vocal in some very important fights in the past, including the recent work to attempt to reform the NRA. He is also grossly in error here. He has a history that deserves the benefit of the doubt with regards to his thinking and motives. so if he were to step back, reflect, reverse course and apologize for this, he could and should be forgiven. I don’t think that is likely for one simple reason. Due to the language being used in the article being almost verbatim from Bloomberg talking points, I strongly suspect that he’s been co-opted and is on the payroll. I have no proof or evidence of that assertion, simply a gut feeling. Regardless, I must walk away and pay no heed to him and strongly be suspicious of those whom continue to work with him on a professional basis. Retracted due to better understanding of what Pincus was attempting to accomplish with this article.

It’s really just too bad that Republicans aren’t as extreme in their efforts to protect our rights as the batsh** crazy Democrats are to destroy them.

Universal background checks are unenforceable and merely provide the logic for establishing databases. And I doubt both sides could come together and compile a list of those “that we all agree should not have them.” I thought Pincus was smarter than this.

Whoops, bought a G40 MOS today

Background checks are low hanging fruit. Nearly every single one of the mass shooters passed a background check. How do you keep these people from buying a gun if they don't have a criminal record that would prohibit them?

I encourage you to do your own research on this question using information available from trusted sources or by speaking with your own physician. There's a LOT of misinformation distributed on-line in forums like this one by people who have an incomplete understanding of the situation. (And virtually any other question, for that matter.)

You may be right but I thought it was a pop gun (cork gun).

I'll wait for the legal eagles to interpret it. Won't go into effect until July 1st anyway. We'll know by then,

I’m currently watching a Instagram live he did with Maj Toure. I firmly believe in letting folks tell their side. Here’s the link. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CNKxIZhAASy/?igshid=1xmgj5gq51u6w

Trying to read the laws of this country makes my head hurt.

There’s a hanger on the right side of the grill that keeps it a few inches off the ground. Webers typically have this sliding gauge with a spring that’ll indicate roughly how full your tank is - or at least that’s the intent. It might work fine if you keep your grill inside. On every grill I’ve ever owned, it indicates full until is flat out empty. YMMV. On the linked model, it looks like they sort of hide it behind that side panel. You can see the tank if you look closely in a few of the pictures.

Yes.

Her ass is too small to be Kim Kardashian.

After installing a Holosun 507k on my 365xL I noticed very soon his dusty it got in my IWB holster. Found these on Amazon and they came today. they work perfectly. Has a retractable brush and a cleaning pad. Love them. Got a 3 pak. Gonna keep one at home. One in the car and one in my go bag. They were around 8 bucks. 3 Pieces Multifunction Lens Cleaning Pen Brush, Lens Brush Camera Screen Cleaning Pen for Camera, SLR, Telescope, Magnifying Glass, Phone

We had a number of Democrats vote yes. When they do right I tell them thank you.

He ain't lyin....

If you have a carry permit in TN, you've always been able to open carry. There is no requirement under TN state law to keep the handgun concealed. The new law once it goes into effect July 1st will allow any non-prohibited adult over 21 (18-20 military or honorably discharged) to carry a handgun both openly and concealed in in public. The language of the current law does pose issues for parks and greenways, so keeping you permit handy wouldn't be a bad idea until we get an AG opinion or a 'fix it' bill comes along to clarify that issue.

Yes. And you are not required by law to show a stamp at a gun range. The operator may kick you out, but that's their business decision just like no shirt, no shoes, no service. I have no idea where that narrative got started but RSOs aren't the ATF.

True constitutional carry would be anyone can carry any gun anywhere. This bill allows people over 21 to carry a handgun in some places.

Whelp. Update time. I got my Holosun in, got it installed on my 365XL ( regular slide) and sold and shipped the SAS ported barrel/slide assembly to a guy on Facebook. Also tried to Dremel the kydex part of my Galco Kingtuk to make the rig fit the gun with optic. The way its made I couldn't get it pared down enough without removing the top rivet. Being unsure how the rig would work without that rivet, i didnt do that. It works as it is now, but i dont really like the fit, not perfect enough for me, so I ordered a new Crossbreed Supertuck.

I was at the range with some buddies about 15 years ago... We all took turns shooting the hcp qualification course blind folded... 4 out of 5 of us passed. Remember that 99+% of people pass the HCP class. Citizens with no training are 5 times less likely that police officers to shoot and kill an innocent person in a justified shooting. I'm not worried about a guy who is legally blind shooting me, but I think he should have any option he feels comfortable with to protect his own life.

Brothers n Sisters... If this stuff didnt work, we would certainly know about it. It simply does work... That said, we all have preferences... The RMRs are tiny n weigh almost nothin. These things are movin very quickly from the relm of the " Play Shooters " and tinkerers to the real world. The problem i wuz havin, wuz exactly how ya use em. Im thinkin ive got that worked out now... Its the " look at the target n let the dot appear " method. Im thinkin more n more that its a real good solution... All that from an Elmer Keith n single action devotee. These guys are, indeed, small enough to carry. leroy...

I have not read the current bill to pass constitutional carry in Tennessee so I am not familiar with what if any stipulations there will be. I believe it the right that we all have under 2A to keep and bear arms. However, I do take a little personal comfort (maybe rightly, maybe ignorantly) that if there are folks around me who are carrying, they have had at least a some instruction in the use of a handgun and at least have been introduced to the laws regarding the legal use of said firearm to defend themselves or others. As responsible gun owners, we all understand that it is incumbent on us to train, learn, and be safe. Unfortunately there are A LOT of irresponsible people out there. With constitutional carry, any yahoo who can legally own a handgun, can carry said handgun even if they have never held one before, shot one before, or have any knowledge or understanding of the laws and regulations pertaining to its use. I think about the lady who took it upon herself to shoot at a fleeing shoplifter, hitting the store employee instead. I don’t know the laws in the state in which that occurred, but in Tennessee she committed several felonies. I’m not saying a 60min online class to get your CCP or an 8 hour class to get your ECP makes us safe. But at least it opens the door to the knowledge needed to carry a handgun responsibly.

And then there is this: https://nationalfile.com/busted-cdc-inflated-covid-numbers-accused-of-violating-federal-law/ BUSTED: CDC Inflated COVID Numbers, Accused of Violating Federal Law by PATRICK HOWLEY February 1, 2021 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stands accused of violating federal law by inflating Coronavirus fatality numbers, according to stunning information obtained by NATIONAL FILE. CDC illegally inflated the COVID fatality number by at least 1,600 percent as the 2020 presidential election played out, according to a study published by the Public Health Initiative of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge. The study, “COVID-19 Data Collection, Comorbidity & Federal Law: A Historical Retrospective,” was authored by Henry Ealy, Michael McEvoy, Daniel Chong, John Nowicki , Monica Sava, Sandeep Gupta, David White, James Jordan , Daniel Simon, and Paul Anderson. The CDC is now legally requiring red-blooded Americans to wear face masks on all public transportation as globalists try to push the concept of “double-masking” on the populace. Since the election, the World Health Organization admits that PCR tests are not totally reliable on the first try and a second test might be needed. This corresponds with CDC’s quiet admission that it blended viral and antibody test results for its case numbers and that people can test positive on an antibody test if they have antibodies from a family of viruses that cause the common cold. Hospitals in Florida had so many accuracy complications that Orlando Health had to admit that its 9.4 percent positivity rate got recorded at 98 percent. “The groundbreaking peer-reviewed research…asserts that the CDC willfully violated multiple federal laws including the Information Quality Act, Paperwork Reduction Act, and Administrative Procedures Act at minimum. (Publishing Journal – Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge / Public Health Policy Initiative) Most notably, the CDC illegally enacted new rules for data collection and reporting exclusively for COVID-19 that resulted in a 1,600% inflation of current COVID-19 fatality totals,” the watchdog group All Concerned Citizens declared in a statement provided to NATIONAL FILE, referring to the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge study. “The research demonstrates that the CDC failed to apply for mandatory federal oversight and failed to open a mandatory period for public scientific comment in both instances as is required by federal law before enacting new rules for data collection and reporting. The CDC is required to be in full compliance with all federal laws even during emergency situations. The research asserts that CDC willfully compromised the accuracy and integrity of all COVID-19 case and fatality data from the onset of this crisis in order to fraudulently inflate case and fatality data,” stated All Concerned Citizens. “On March 24th the CDC published the NVSS COVID-19 Alert No. 2 document instructing medical examiners, coroners and physicians to deemphasize underlying causes of death, also referred to as pre-existing conditions or comorbidities, by recording them in Part II rather than Part I of death certificates as “…the underlying cause of death are expected to result in COVID-19 being the underlying cause of death more often than not.” This was a major rule change for death certificate reporting from the CDC’s 2003 Coroners’ Handbook on Death Registration and Fetal Death Reporting and Physicians’ Handbook on Medical Certification of Death, which have instructed death reporting professionals nationwide to report underlying conditions in Part I for the previous 17 years. This single change resulted in a significant inflation of COVID-19 fatalities by instructing that COVID-19 be listed in Part I of death certificates as a definitive cause of death regardless of confirmatory evidence, rather than listed in Part II as a contributor to death in the presence of pre-existing conditions, as would have been done using the 2003 guidelines. The research draws attention to this key distinction as it has led to a significant inflation in COVID fatality totals. By the researcher’s estimates, COVID-19 recorded fatalities are inflated nationwide by as much as 1600% above what they would be had the CDC used the 2003 handbooks,” stated All Concerned Citizens. “Then on April 14th, the CDC adopted additional rules exclusive for COVID-19 in violation of federal law by outsourcing data collection rule development to the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), a non-profit entity, again without applying for oversight and opening opportunity for public scientific review. On April 5th the CSTE published a position paper Standardized surveillance case definition and national notification for 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) listing 5 CDC employees as subject matter experts. This key document created new rules for counting probable cases as actual cases without definitive proof of infection (section VII.A1 – pages 4 & 5), new rules for contact tracing allowing contact tracers to practice medicine without a license (section VII.A3 – page 5), and yet refused to define new rules for ensuring that the same person could not be counted multiple times as a new case (section VII.B – page 7),” stated All Concerned Citizens. “By enacting these new rules exclusively for COVID-19 in violation of federal law, the research alleges that the CDC significantly inflated data that has been used by elected officials and public health officials, in conjunction with unproven projection models from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), to justify extended closures for schools, places of worship, entertainment, and small businesses leading to unprecedented emotional and economic hardships nationwide. A formal petition has been sent to the Department of Justice as well as all US Attorneys seeking an immediate grand jury investigation into these allegations,” All Concerned Citizens stated. So…do you still trust the globalist oligarchs?
