  Is Benchmade sharpening knives on the spot? :hyper:   I'd like my Benchmade Auto Triage 9170 freshened up. :up:   http://www.benchmade.com/products/9170

So they are selling gun parts there?   Any knives there?

Looks like I'm off work and will be there Saturday with my dad and wife.  :usa:   If this ever happens again, I hope we can get some way to identify TGO members, like T-Shirts, hats, etc., before the show so we can all meet and shake hands. :up:   David, say you have a booth? TGO swag on sale?  :love:

I've been super busy and not able to follow this. Can you summarize what we gained or lost here?

Nice score! :up:

Survival Ops for 50bmg, until I met you and then I tried Freedom. Freedom was good (bought 50bmg API and 5.56x45 in bulk) until the panic during the ban threat. I just felt it was crappy and shady to cancel my order after waiting that long only to find it back up for sale at panic prices.

I wrote them off after I ordered 480 rounds of .308, waited months, and then they canceled my order. I immediately went back on the site to see what was going on, and they had raised their prices and had some ammo back up for sale (that sold out quickly). That happened during the gun ban panic fwiw. With business practices like that, I'm done with them. :down: Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm not defending Comcast because I dislike a lot of things they do, but why are you mad at them and not Govt for the increase in taxes? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Brady Campaign Case Targeting Online Ammo Dismissed By Judge An absurd attempt by the anti-gun Brady Campaign to hold online ammunition and shooting sport accessory companies responsible for the actions of a madman has been dismissed. The lawsuit filed by the parents of a woman killed in the Colorado theater shootings, accusing four online retailers of improperly selling ammunition, tear gas, a high-capacity magazine and body armor used in the attack, has been dismissed. According to court documents obtained by CBS4 Friday afternoon, Judge Richard P. Matsch dismissed the lawsuit filed against the defendants in the case: Lucky Gunner of Knoxville, Tennessee, Bullet Proof Body Armor of Tempe, Arizona, BTP Arms of New Oxford, Pennsylvania, and the Sportsman’s Guide of South St. Paul, Minnesota. The lawsuit alleged it was illegal and negligent to sell the gear to James Holmes, who is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 20, 2012, attack. It stated the companies had no safeguards to keep dangerous people from buying their goods. Brady’s attorneys simply had no viable case against the legal protections under federal law as provided by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which prevents harassment and frivolous lawsuits from gun control cultists. In addition to dismissing the case, the judge found that the plaintiffs owe the companies they attempted to harass an award of “reasonable attorney fees.” This suit seems very similar to the case filed by the surviving family members and a survivor of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting against Bushmaster. That case is using a slightly different by still very similar “negligent entrustment” argument, attempting to argue that there is a loophole in the PLCAA, and that AR-15s—and virtually every other modern firearm—are too dangerous for civilians to own. The Sandy Hook case is incredibly weak, and it should hopefully be dismisses soon as well. http://bearingarms.com/brady-campaign-case-targeting-online-ammo-dismissed-judge/

The Heller Foundation joined up on the lawsuit! There is also a new donation link at the bottom of the page.   :up:   The Heller Foundation is pleased to announce that it has teamed with Jay Hollis and attorneys Stephen Stamboulieh and Alan Beck to fight the federal restrictions on machine gun ownership. Complying with the onerous registration requirements for automatic firearms and paying the $200 tax to exercise his right, Mr. Hollis filed a Form 1 with the BATFE to manufacture an M16 machine gun. The BATFE then approved that Form 1, giving Mr. Hollis permission to manufacture the M16. Shortly afterward the BATFE erroneously and without due process revoked Mr. Hollis’ approval.   On October 30, 2014 Mr. Hollis filed his complaint against Eric Holder and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“BATFE”) seeking to overturn both the National Firearms Act and the ban on private ownership of machine guns manufactured after May 19, 1986. The case, Hollis v. Holder, et al, Civil Action No.3:14-cv-03872-M, is being led by attorneys Stephen Stamboulieh and Alan Beck. It is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. “The M16 is the quintessential militia arm and is thus protected under any reading of Miller or Heller,” said attorney Stephen Stamboulieh.   “Winning this case is critical to the security of the nation’s citizens,” added Dick Heller, Chairman of the Heller Foundation. “We think it’s important enough that donors to the Heller Foundation can now make a directed contribution on our web site, HellerFoundation.org, for the support of this case.”   Almost seven years ago the Supreme Court ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. The Heller Foundation, a non-profit exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, was founded shortly after the landmark ruling by plaintiff Dick Heller to continue to expand gun owner rights through the judicial system.   District of Columbia v. Heller became the cornerstone for gun owners nationwide to push other important wins through the federal court system. Jay Hollis, Stephen Stamboulieh, Alan Beck, and the Heller Foundation intend to build on those wins in the ongoing battle for the Second Amendment by targeting the National Firearms Act and the machine gun ban.   https://hellerfoundation.org/hvh/   Donate here: https://hellerfoundation.org/product/donation-2-2/

Cos, you have one? How do you both like it so far?

Unreal! With a republican majority, you'd thought expanding gun rights would have been a simple task. :shake:

AWESOME! :up: 

Why do they suck IYHO? I only own one Armalite and that is my AR50-A1B. It's heavy as hell and not very portable, but it's accurate and built like a tank.

Nice shape. I like it! :up:

This contest is over if you read the rules: http://www.sigsauer.com/TeamSig/OfficialRules.aspx

So what can be done to motivate these fools? Do we need to get TGO in mass protest up there to pay them all a visit? 

It's just them trying to deflect attention. He'll go work someplace else for Govt or some Crony-connected job just outside Govt while the next anti-Second-Amendment BATFE directer takes over. Trust me, they have got plenty of anti-2A'ers ready to replace the last one.

You're welcome! :up:

Yup. What David said. Use GMail and it'll work fine. :up:

I understand you because we all feel similar on all sides of this issue. But this is a total lost right as far as I'm concerned because we can no longer buy new post-86's MG's. Only the old and very expensive pre-ban pre-86 MG's, so if this were to open the door to being able to buy and own new MG's post 1986, I'd consider it a HUGE win for gun rights and by far, a MUCH BIGGER win than removing suppressors or SBR's from the NFA because that is not a lost right and you can still buy them new. The only thing in my mind that would be bigger is all NFA items being legal (full repeal and close down BATFE regulatory arm for NFA items) and easy as walking in and buying a new S&W revolver at the LGS, no NFA, no tax stamp, nadda.

This is too cool! :up: Is that a home built suppressor?

Trust me, I cant contain my excitement! :hyper: This is HUGE and I belive it will kickstart the restoration of the second amendment! :up: Which has me shocked more people aren't chiming in on the topic. :confused:
