But to what extent do CNN, MSNBC, and Fox truly only shill for themselves? Their main goal is to get you outraged about something, which in turn means you come back for more, same bat time, same bat channel. It's not about red vs blue but rather green, green, green baby.

I'm literally open to any suggestions. I've had a bunch of fun, the last few months, bringing a few old rifles back to life. A couple of old 1930s Husqvarnas, a knackered old Remington a cut-down K98 & I'm presently working on the world's (previously) UGLIEST Carcano bubba-job. Turns out, that working on projects like this, along with working on getting my bike how I want it, are really helping my depression. I went from a lifetime of building things, to working a job for the last 14 years that whilst enjoyable, doesn't have the same sense of satisfaction as starting with nothing & finishing with a useful product. So I'm looking for old, disused, manky, rusty old rifles i can, if not restore, then at least refinish & remodel into working, things. Previously "sporterized" are preferable, that way I won't be accidentally devaluing a collectible piece. When I'm done with them, I'll offer them back to the original seller for whatever i pay, plus whatever actual parts I need to source (with receipts). My time will be free. If the original seller doesn't want it back, I'll either keep it or offer it up on the open market for an extra, say, $50? I'm 100% NOT trying to make any money, not trying to be or learn to be a gunsmith, I'm just looking for the sense of satisfacion of making at least a polycotton blend purse from a sow's ear I really don't want to spend tons, probably $300 max & old & rusty would be preferred over modern & just broken.

You might need to turn the camera around and point it at the ones in suits behind the microphones. They certainly don’t listen to the people on a whole lot of other issues.

Was watching Johnny Carson the other he had Walter Cronkite on as a guest he was a good news man also. Loved his timex comercials. Even the local paper is not so local any more most of the stories are AP wire news feeds. Really don't watch much network news, makes my head want to explode, mostly read news

How great would it be to have someone like Walter Cronkite on any news network. Tell us the facts and let us make up our own minds. Unfortunately don't know that we will be able to see that again. (I did participate in the poll!)

DEFINITELY a perishable skill.

That’s pretty much everyone whether the admit it or not.

Spent the first half of the week riding to western Arkansas with my son. Awesome weather and great roads, once we got two Missouri. Spent today heading back in a very cold wet drizzle. Soaked, cold, lots of stops to thaw out, and still smiling! Tomorrow should be better.

That includes a 5 minute commercial break.

In the 1980s, I was active in shooting along with LEOs in my town. I purchased a Colt Trooper from an Officer who was retiring. I guess my inventory is quite outdated but to my eyes, they are beautiful. Although not shown, I added ergonomic competition grips which helped my scores significantly. This is my wife's favorite firearm at the range.

I miss David Brinkley. I watched him "News Hour" for years and years before I finally discovered that he was a conservative. CNN and MSNBC don't even try to hide that they're shilling for the left. Fox shills for the right. I try to read a wide variety of news sources, (though I just can't get through an MSNBC article) but I still have trouble sorting out what's true and not. It's rare these days to read a hard news piece that doesn't have some opinion tossed into it. "Reporters" or more accurately, producers, cherry pick the statistics and quotes that they use to advance their narratives. "Gotcha" politics prevails, and when a politician can't give his honest opinion for fear of having it twisted to fit an opposing agenda then we know that the media doesn't serve us at all. I spent 24 years as a volunteer firefighter and I never read a story that had all the facts straight on any of the incidents I attended. And that was a small, local news outlet covering local events. I can't imagine how a huge organization based in New York can hope to get it right about anything at all.

Have you tried Lego sets? I'm close to 400 sets

I find myself reading all news networks. There isn't "one you can trust", even with local news. The spin is always there so if it's a topic i feel heavily about, i read as many places as i can to decide. Now, that's far and few between because i find that my life and happiness improve SIGNIFICANTLY by not turning on the news at all.

Carlson and Maddow both used this defense and won. They are more alike than they are different. A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News after lawyers for the network argued that no "reasonable viewer" would take the network's primetime star Tucker Carlson seriously. https://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-karen-mcdougal-case-tucker-carlson-2020-9?op=1

Looks Iike the Algimated bank has successfully implemented a new merchant t code singling out firearms dealers. Discover card has announced they will begin tracking purchases and reportedly sending those to a government agency. I have had a Discover card since the late 80s, but I'm ready to cancel my account. Are there any cards that are not going to be implementing this reporting scheme? https://reason.com/2023/03/06/banks-increasingly-back-political-scheme-to-track-gun-purchases-by-credit-card/

Hello to every one, Glad to be in the beautiful, free state of Tennessee. Moved from New York to Murfreesboro. My wife and I are very active in many activities. We love to shoot and meet new people. We are glad to be finally here in the land of the free and away from the whack-job NYS Governor. We are looking forward to all that TN has to offer.

I don't think the Director has read the case... “[The purpose of the Second Amendment is] to secure a well-armed militia .... But a militia would be useless unless the citizens were enabled to exercise themselves in the use of warlike weapons. To preserve this privilege, and to secure to the people the ability to oppose themselves in military force against the usurpations of government, as well as against enemies from without, that government is forbidden by any law or proceeding to invade or destroy the right to keep and bear arms .... The clause is analogous to the one securing the freedom of speech and of the press. Freedom, not license, is secured; the fair use, not the libellous abuse, is protected.” J. Pomeroy, An Introduction to the Constitutional Law of the United States 152–153 (1868) District of Columbia et al. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 618 (2008) Before addressing the verbs “keep” and “bear,” we interpret their object: “Arms.” The 18th-century meaning is no different from the meaning today. The 1773 edition of Samuel Johnson's dictionary defined “arms” as “weapons of offence, or armour of defence.” 1 Dictionary of the English Language 106 (4th ed.) (reprinted 1978) (hereinafter Johnson). Timothy Cunningham's important 1771 legal dictionary defined “arms” as “any thing that a man wears for his defence, or takes into his hands, or useth in wrath to cast at or strike another.” 1 A New and Complete Law Dictionary; see also N. Webster, American Dictionary of the English Language (1828) (reprinted 1989) (hereinafter Webster) (similar). The term was applied, then as now, to weapons that were not specifically designed for military use and were not employed in a military capacity. For instance, Cunningham's legal dictionary gave as an example of usage: “Servants and labourers shall use bows and arrows on Sundays, & c. and not bear other arms.” See also, e.g., An Act for the trial of Negroes, 1797 Del. Laws ch. XLIII, § 6, in 1 First Laws of the State of Delaware 102, 104 (J. Cushing ed.1981 (pt. 1)); see generally State v. Duke, 42 Tex. 455, 458 (1874) (citing decisions of state courts construing “arms”). Although one founding-era thesaurus limited “arms” (as opposed to “weapons”) to “instruments of offence generally made use of in war,” even that source stated that all firearms constituted “arms.” 1 J. Trusler, The Distinction Between Words Esteemed Synonymous in the English Language 37 (3d ed. 1794) (emphasis added). Some have made the argument, bordering on the frivolous, that only those arms in existence in the 18th century are protected by the Second Amendment. We do not interpret constitutional rights that way. Just as the First Amendment protects modern forms of communications, e.g., Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, 521 U.S. 844, 849, 117 S.Ct. 2329, 138 L.Ed.2d 874 (1997), and the Fourth Amendment applies to modern forms of search, e.g., Kyllo v. United States, 533 U.S. 27, 35–36, 121 S.Ct. 2038, 150 L.Ed.2d 94 (2001), the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding. District of Columbia et al. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 581-82 (2008) ““[O]rdinarily when called for [militia] service [able-bodied] men were expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time.” ” District of Columbia et al. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 624 (2008) “In the colonial and revolutionary war era, [small-arms] weapons used by militiamen and weapons used in defense of person and home were one and the same.” State v. Kessler,289 Ore. 359, 368, 614 P.2d 94, 98 (1980) (citing G. Neumann, Swords and Blades of the American Revolution 6–15, 252–254 (1973)) District of Columbia et al. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 624-25 (2008) It may be objected that if weapons that are most useful in military service—M–16 rifles and the like—may be banned, then the Second Amendment right is completely detached from the prefatory clause. But as we have said, the conception of the militia at the time of the Second Amendment's ratification was the body of all citizens capable of military service, who would bring the sorts of lawful weapons that they possessed at home to militia duty. It may well be true today that a militia, to be as effective as militias in the 18th century, would require sophisticated arms that are highly unusual in society at large. District of Columbia et al. v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 627 (2008)

Welcome to TGO

my very favorite gun person tested and reviewed a CZ75. Col. Cooper declared it the second best handgun in the world and wrote that it would be hard to decide number one if it fired .45 ACP. When EAA came out with the Witness clone in .45 I bought the first one I found. Great pistol but one of those regretted sales discussed in another thread. Now they are ridiculously priced and it's hard to find a base, non-race gun. The only fault I found is the grip is too big for my hand. If I'd known then what I know now it would have thinner grip panels and be my favorite pistol. I never have "gun money" when a CZ97 comes up, so sad.

Oh I absolutely understand. But we are talking about 5-20 mph for usually less than a couple miles. I’d take that chance to keep the bike from overheating or myself from getting smashed by inattentive drivers. Tires are cheap. Engines and hospital bills are not.

you ever make it to Nashville area? Also you talking case of 200 or case of 1000?

Reason I say riding on the shoulder is a bad idea is mainly because that’s where all the trash and debris that causes flat tires ends up. You are well aware of how much fun a flat motorcycle tire is I’m sure.

Welcome from Nashville. Thank you for your service to our Country.

A few years ago they had a bill to allow us to use the shoulder on the interstate in cases of traffic Jams. It failed but I liked the bill.

This “jerk” chicken will blow you away, especially if you use it like I did a couple of times years ago. It doesn’t have allspice like most jerk does, so maybe semi-jerk. I also used the whole concoction on 1 lb of chicken breasts, not 3 whole chickens, lol.

Back in the day when I got my first LEO job no one could afford the Pythons so we all went to the 686 since it was affordable and still looked good in a patent leather holster but wish I would have bought a Python sooner. My vote is for the Python in just about any barrel length but I’ve still got an original 686 boxed.

I’m sorry, but it has been all but proven (and I would venture to say proven) that there was not massive voter fraud. Every court case was lost, every recount showed the counts were legitimate. The only things that were done illegally were alternate electors and someone asking for votes to be “found”.

Malcolm Nance and Don Lemon for us.

Nothing but Rachael Maddow is allowed at our house!

Glad it was just them lying. Guess I have to go back to CNN, MSNBC, or one of the trustworthy networks.

I’ll take this
