The rear sight ears have been ground (grinded ?) off so you can’t put a Garand rear site on it.

This is my concern as well...liquidity. I bought gold eagles and silver eagles a few years ago just to get into the precious metals game and to have an investment to hold in my hand. I bought them through Apmex.com and they ship them directly to your house. They will repurchase them at any time at a slight discount from the spot price that changes daily, and people buy/sell them on eBay as well, but in both of those cases you have to put the coins in the mail and arrange for payment. Local “gold buyer” shops will also buy them but, like you said, that would be a negotiation and I expect it would be about like selling something to a pawn shop...not a good price for the seller. In a SHTF situation I think the smaller weight coins or bars like 1/10 oz and 1/4 oz would be more practical than the 1 oz or larger sizes.

Thanks for the info. And I agree 100% with that last statement as we all know that gun laws don’t stop those intent on murder.

Media is talking about a “loophole” in the gun laws that allowed this non-citizen to legally purchase a firearm, but they aren’t actually explaining it (no surprise). Is this true? What are they talking about?

ORSA rocks!

Why would it ever be a problem which of those boxes were checked when you bought it? Since it was an in-state purchase it had absolutely no bearing on whether you could legally purchase it. If authorities show up at your door asking you to prove that you built it into the configuration checked in a box on a 4473 then there’s a lot more going on...like a registration process.

Its all about the demonizing of guns. They’re teaching the younger generation to recoil at the mere sight of a gun and to associate guns with evil.

They're reporting now that shooter failed a background check when trying to buy a gun so he went and bought one through a private transaction which, of course, does not require a background check. Exactly the situation that the media and anti-gunners have been waiting for. Media is already sticking microphones in Republican politicians faces and asking when they are going to do something and institute MBCs.

Like so many of these innocent-sounding good-idea efforts, the expanded interpretation and execution are where the problems arise. I’ve seen some proposed “safe storage” laws that came with some pretty onerous requirements including defacto registration of all firearms with local authorities, allowing unannounced inspections of your home to ensure compliance, separate storage of firearms from ammo, etc. Any law that tells you what you can or can’t do with your property is never as innocuous as the name they give it when trying to pass it.

The reason that wildlife management came about.

So they drove through the show on their forklifts and hoisted the displays out of the building right in front of everybody? Obviously I’m joking...the fact that they were forklift operators doesn’t at all explain the logistics of how they managed to remove the items from the show undetected. The point I’m trying to make is that I wish the newspaper article explained how they actually stole them.

I didn’t see an explanation of how they stole them...or did I just miss it? How’d they get that much stuff out of the building? Since they worked there maybe they had afterhours access, or took them from crates as they they were being delivered. I hate stories that are short on factual details.

Great idea. The Uber drivers I’ve used all love it. Good luck.

I’d say so...now that you mention it the short-barrel does appear to have a hammer. Good eye!

What the hell is the “House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force”?

Exactly. It was definitely laying harmlessly on the floor until he grabbed it. Yet every time the news shows it they say it fired when it hit the floor...because everyone knows that what guns do. Edit: I stand corrected...ABC News just showed, in slow motion, how it didn't discharge until he grabbed it.

Universal background checks is the Trojan Horse...the end game is a gun registry to facilitate eventual confiscation. The only way to implement and enforce UBC (ensure nobody is selling without a UBC) is for the Gubment to know what everybpdy owns.

Seems like quite a stretch to say that the right to assemble/gather or free speech means that a child can walk out of school whenever they want to “express themselves”. Your citatations deal with forms of expression while attending school or school-related events...nothing about a “right” to leave school whenever, which essentially means they’re excused from school.

+1 Those numbers are exact opposite of what I would have expected. Very surprising.

The Fix is in.

Every politician, Repub and Democrat, is just looking for an excuse to take away our 2nd amendment rights.

I stopped shopping there when the Dicks in W. Knoxville stopped selling guns a few years ago.

I saw him in Neyland Stadium when I was a kid back in the early 70’s (I think)...was pretty bored with it...just too young to appreciate it.

Hopefully the “out” is that they will conclude that a bump stock does not turn a legal weapon into a machine gun...it still requires a pull of the trigger for each shot fired. This would also go a long way towards educating the public in the difference between semi-auto and full auto...although the media would ignore it.

I really like Scott and the crew at SIA. I may pay a little more for a transfer there but they are friendly and convenient for me.
