If every single firearm was removed from Memphis, it still wouldn’t fix the problem. Same goes for every other city in this country.

It’s just pandering. They’ve pretty much admitted that it would violate state law. These proposals are just playing to the masses.

The AARP started as a marketing device for selling insurance to old people. Today it still sells insurance, but it also is a large lobbying organization that, while officially nonpartisan, spends tens of millions of dollars each year lobbying for programs espoused by the Democratic Party. And of course, more gun control is one of those programs. Cheers, Whisper

This thread keeps popping up, then going back to sleep, then back up................. After watching several videos and talking to some Tisas owners, I bought a 1911A1 and earlier this week took it to the range. I have to say that I am pleasantly pleased.....surprised....maybe even shocked. As I usually do, I first disassembled and cleaned it just to lube it and check it. It was easier to take down and back up than many of my more expensive 1911's. Also, very tight fitting and not the slop that one might expect in a budget weapon. It ate everything I threw at it with zero problems. I found it to be very accurate although the sights are the basic "GI" sights that one finds on the originals. Lately, when I shoot, I do it in "themes." I'll do all .22's, or all revolvers, or all 9mm, etc. so this day was a 1911 theme. I decided to take two additional original WWII Remington Rands as well as a couple of newer "name" brands with me so I switched out magazines and the Tisas accepted all of the mags and ammo flawlessly. In fact, the slide can even be switched out with the originals which I found to be very impressive, indeed! I could wax on and on, but suffice to say it was a very pleasurable experience with no hassles. Not bad for a $350 pistol.

#1. they want to look like they're trying to do something #2. they're looking for federal $$$ to bolster the grossly mismanaged, under-funded, and very Admin top-heavy MPD. They figure to win on both points because JB&Co are so keen on shredding 2A.

Below are pictures of the Tisas 1911A1 that I discussed above. As an aside, I got to thinking about the movie, "The scent of a woman" where Al Pacino's character, who is a blind, ex Army Lt Colonel, disassembles his 1911 and then asks a person to time him assembling it. Did it in 25 seconds. I tried it................... no freakin' way, ha.

So I bought the Macintosh in 1985 (borrowed $4500 at BB&T) because you could immediately create a document on it. (The PCs of the day required multiple steps to create a document.) I purchased the external hard drive to save my work on floppy disks. The reason I spent so much money on this "thing" was to write my doctoral dissertation. I kept each chapter on a separate disk. The longest chapter was Chapter Two. It had lots of tricky writing and documentation and took days to write. Late on a Wednesday night I put the finishing touches on the chapter. And as always, I was careful to save to the disk so I wouldn't lose anything. The Chapter Two icon was on the disk before I removed it from the Mac. Ending around 3 am, I felt a great sense of accomplishment. The longest and most difficult chapter was finished! A day later, I decided to look at chapter two again. I put in the disk, and it was blank. The icon with the title, "Chapter Two" was not on the disk. The disk was labeled "Chapter Two", so I was using the correct disk. In a true panic, I went through every other disk to see if I accidentally Chapter Two on another disk. It was nowhere to be found. Chapter Two totally vanished from the disk. I laid down on the floor and cried. Then I drank a large amount of vodka. And then I went to sleep. The rewrite started the next day and took three days to complete. Chapter Two was saved on 5 different disks. The story is true, but the names were not changed to protect the innocent.

In the early 80’s I used to do real simply programming on a TRS-80. Still have my original Mac I used in college in the late 80’s.

I put the AOL "You've Got Mail" notification on my phone for when it get an email on one of my Gmail accounts.

Old enough to be a member, but I wouldn't join them, if their organization was free to join. To hell with AARP!

oh I go back to commodore experience. That P1 is the first i actually owned

I’d tend to agree - but with a caveat. A lot of the meds these days aren’t the ones we grew up with. I know a couple of people who were so resistant to meds because of bad experiences in the 80s and 90s. They finally got modern meds dialed in and it truly changed their life.

This is a nice JM Marlin model 336 R.C. made in 1967 so no cross bolt safety. It is chambered in .30-30. The wood is in very good shape and the bluing is still strong. The bore is shiny, and the rifling looks sharp. It has had a sling stud added to the stock and there is one on the fore end band. It is missing the front sight hood. It currently has a Williams Peep sight attached. I am asking $800 $750 without the peep sight. If you want the peep sight, $850. $800 $750. I have decided to keep the peep sight for my 44Mag. I can post photos without the peep sight if wanted. Located in Nashville, for sale to folks 21 and older who can legally own a firearm. TN license or HCP flash. More photos upon request.

It’s a slow process. I guess if the new one is better than the old one, you should keep going.

Friend, all I can offer are prayers. You said folks tell you they understand. I can tell you I don’t have a clue what you’re going through, but I’m certain it’s an unimaginable pain.

Is this the one I think it is?

Well I shot today first time since losing my finger. Tryed my rough rider 22 my shield plus and my 1911. I was able to hold them all just fine but was shooting 6-8 inches low with all of them. Just have to re learn how to do a steady grip I could see myself moving around in the sights. To top it off my rock island 1911 factory mag ( KCI) came apart inside the gun. Required a block of wood and a mallet to get the slide stop to move and inbind the gun. I inserted the mag and ran the slide and it stayed in the slide lock position. Kimber mag did fine.

Yes...I left that aspect out. I just got tired of attempting to be humorous on this one. Was pooped after a long day of medical testing.

My first computer was a Commodore 64 with a 1541 floppy drive. I bought a 110 baud acoustic coupler modem for it with money that I made from mowing relatives' lawns. Later I got a 300 baud modem for and it started running a BBS at night on the family phone line. My parents barely tolerated that by unplugging their other phones. My first PC was an 8088XT clone, then an 80286, a 80386, 80486 and finally into the world of Pentiums. Somewhere in there I started another BBS running on a single dedicated phone line and eventually I had four lines on a BBS before the Internet took over. And then... forums! Such a damned nerd.

AARP is nothing more than a left wing shill for insurance and drug companies. No way I'd join.

Sheesh, My last Duty Station in the Army was Ft. Bliss assigned to Range Control in the late 90's. We had the area east of the Franklin Mountains to the Alamogordo hiway, from El Paso north to the White Sands MR perimiter. We did live fire of everything from small arms, ADA, MLRS and such. Since the Army considered it bad form to kill illegals during live fire, we had 2-man teams that would patrol the ranges. We had one M16 between us and one mag full of ammo and every round counted pre and post patrol. Also had case of bottled water, case of MRE's, and GI issue green wool blankets. We would easily pick them up and put them in the back of the Humvee cuz they were usually starving, thirsty, cold or hot, and abandoned by thier coyote. We would drop then off at Border Patrol back in El Paso. I acutally did enjoy that duty. Seems like now, would need a much bigger truck, and I sure would want a bigger team, more arms, and certaily more ammo.

This is the reason we have so many dumb and stupid around today.

What a bunch of younguns... My first modem was 300 baud. It was just slightly better than two dixie cups and a string!

I agree, but it’s hard to argue the fact we are definitely an over medicated population.

The only thing I miss about the old days was when I would turn my computer on I would be greeted with YOU GOT MAIL!!!!

Been in aviation maintenance since the mid 80’s. It’s tuff being in this career field and not have lost a few jobs and had to move around the country. In aircraft maintenance circles a part that you use once and then throw away is an Expendable, I’ve felt that way more than once.

Same for me, but not AOL. I wanted a Star Wars handle back in the early days of the Interwebz, but of course all the common characters were taken and I didn't want to be BobaFett3728 or Vader7561. I landed on monkeylizard as the first obscure SW thing I could find that wasn't already taken. It's what Jabba the Hutt's pet thing is.

When I got my first email on AOL, I tried and tried to find something unique but everything was already used. I finally put my initials and last name in backwards (A)nthony (B)riggs Evans and came up with snaveba.

This pretty much applies to all politicians, IMO.

That may be true, but there are A LOT of folks who regularly take something like Prozac with no negative psychological effects.

I heard someone on YouTube this morning saying New York now has 33,000 illegals and is spending one billion a year on public assistance for them. ( housing assistance, medical care, food assistance, cell phones, etc). With 5 million entering the country since Biden took office and figuring $27,000 per immigrant per year year cost to the government, which is what the governor of New York claims it costs, They are costing American taxpayers 130 Billion per year just for the 5 million that have come in since Biden opened the border. This works out to $407 for every man, woman and child citizen in this country. If you are married and have two children your share of the migrant cost is $1,628 a year. Disclaimer, I have not researched these figures and am just repeating a YouTube poster but have no reason not to believe the figures.

There are some people coming here for a handout, but it's so few of them that it's intellectually dishonest and lazy to lump them together. Similarly, vilifying all illegal immigrants as drug mules and child sex traffickers is just a tool to dehumanize the whole group, so you'll hate them and think of them as the boogeyman. There's tons of good reasons to stop all illegal immigration. I just wish folks would remember that regardless of how people got here, they are human beings and most mean you no harm. They're just trying to make a better life for themselves. Who wouldn't do the same thing if you couldn't feed your family where you live?

European Starlings are a non-native destructive species according to TWRA and can be killed if found to be causing damage and you're the landowner. ... https://www.tn.gov/twra/law-enforcement/wildlife-damage-control.html Being annoying doesn't classify as damage and the OP isn't the landowner. And it'll likely piss off the neighbors.

I had something different from you, but my grip strength was in bad shape for a long time. Flexor-Tendon Grafts on 2 Fingers right hand in 1975 ... the injury was a result of an attempted carjacking. One of the bad guys had a knife. I grabbed it and disarmed him rather than letting him stab and possibly kill me ... but unlike a Hollywood movie knife attacks leave scars. Before this I lifted weights 6 days a week, so I was very depressed and unsure of my future doing things I loved. My hand was frozen with not much movement ...the Doctor was a head of his time. He did a great job and once he gave me the green light to work out again, I took my time. My strength came back and about 90% of the movement in my fingers ... I was able to pull a 600-pound deadlift and bench press 485 pounds 10 years after the surgery. Worked 25 years in Corrections City Jail to Supermax prison had many uses of force incidents using my right hand over the years ... this past Thursday I turned 70 years old and did a 315-pound bench press and pulled a 365-pound deadlift. Don't feel sorry for yourself, fight with everything you have to get back to where you were before this happened to you ... If you need help once they tell you can do stuff to strengthen your hand, I would be glad to share what worked for me.
