We need to fight to remove the authority of the BATFE to regulate and ban ammunition (and other stuff) because it's getting ridiculous that they can keep making rulings like this. My letter to them will be, all these stupid rulings on ammo (sig braces, etc.) restricting, revoking and banning things attached to our second amendment rights has made me make the decision to make it a personal goal to push gun owners and gun rights organizations to get congress to remove that authority from the BATFE all together. LETS STOP BEGGING THEM TO NOT TAKE OUR RIGHTS AND START WORKING TO TAKE AWAY THEIR POWER AND AUTHORITY TO DO THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE! :up:

Good tip! This past Wed was HORRIBLE though. Worst morning drive I've had in a while. It was a 1st hear crawl in most areas.

I40 has become awful! It took me over an hour Wednesday to get to Hillsboro Pike off 440 from I40 at the Hermitage exit. I think I left at 7:15am and got there after 8:30am. I left a little earlier today and it was a bit faster, but still took around an hour. For reference, that's normally under a 30 minute drive in normal traffic for me. I hate driving in to town from here.

Strategic Edge Range in Chapel Hill, TN - 1250 Yard Range - Join Now
JohnC replied to shaftbass's topic in General Chat
Indeed! It's set up a bit nicer now. You need to shoot it again soon. :D I have all the APA accessories on there, 20x mil scope, Barrett rings, etc. The only downside is that it tips the scale at 45lbs as it sits now. :rofl: -

Not sure I'd want a canned trust. I'd rather pay one of the local TGO supporting lawyers to make sure everything is covered. :up: -

Home made pasta fagioli with fresh 5 cheese garlic bread and sweet tea. :up: Always nice on a cold day. :) I make it better than olive garden and a 12qt pot at a time. :D

I've been a member ever since they opened. Best range I've been to. Top notch in every way. :up: -
I never liked Win8 much. If they move back closer to 7 I might enjoy windows more. I at least want the option of a real start menu.

This statement kid of pisses me off.... Do baseball bats, hands fists and feet, kitchen knives, bricks, etc., used as murder weapons have SN#'s? Nope! So how do they ever solve all those murders where no SN# is on the weapon? :shake:

I like it! :up: How much you got in the build?

What's the deal with TN Firearms Association?
JohnC replied to ron86654's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I just posted how Healthcare has "something" to do with guns because the politicians want to use Healthcare as another avenue to usher in more gun control, which is why the NRA got involved in the ACA. I also posted how the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution, doesn't stop the anti-2A politicians from trying to restrict or revoke your rights, either. So why do you think you can just keep putting more text in a law to supposedly protect gun owners when the Second Amendment doesn't even stop them? It goes back to the point I made earlier. I'd rather not have the ACA nor the Haslam Medicaid expansion because it just gives Govt more area to control our lives (and guns). They have already shown us they want to use the ACA by inserting language in the law "to treat firearms as a matter of public health." So knowing they wanted to do it from the start, tells us they'll keep trying to use the ACA law, and healthcare in general, to get more "gun control." So I fully support the TFA's efforts to fight the Haslam Medicaid expansion. :) -
Not sure if this has already been posted or not, but I did a search for the title and came up with nothing... ATF issues 80 percent receiver clarification The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issued a 14-point clarification on what does and what does not make an 80 percent lower receiver, and reminds people that they’re legal to buy. The ATF’s clarification re-states its position on 80 percent lowers, highlighting the fact that any blank must not be pre-drilled, cast or dimpled to aid in manufacturing. The “Receiver Blanks Q&A’s” maintains that it is legal to sell 80 percent lowers and machine them into firearms and explains “there are no federal restrictions on an individual making a firearm for personal use, as long as it does not violate the GCA or National Firearms Act.” Recently home gunsmiths found themselves in the spotlight when the practice of manufacturing 80 percent receivers into complete firearms made headlines as “Ghost Guns” as famously described by California Sen. Kevin de Leon. While private manufacture of 80 percent receivers is completely legal, the ATF takes issue with some aspects of the practice. “Because receiver blanks do not have markings or serial numbers, when firearms made from such receiver blanks are found at a crime scene, it is usually not possible to trace the firearm or determine its history, which hinders crime gun investigations jeopardizing public safety,” the statement says. “[F]irearms that began as receiver blanks have been recovered after shooting incidents, from gang members and from prohibited people after they have been used to commit crimes,” the statement continues. Making 80 percent receivers into working firearms is generally legal as long as the person making the guns isn’t a prohibited person and the guns are for personal use. The guns also have to comply with other laws including the NFA. If the guns are being manufactured for a profit then the builder is going to need to get a Federal Firearms License, a process that the agency details as well. Anyone looking to turn a buck making 80 percent receivers into must first “submit ATF Form 7 (5310.12), ‘Application for License’, with the appropriate fee in accordance with the instructions on the form to ATF.” http://www.guns.com/2014/11/11/atf-issues-80-percent-receiver-clarification/

When people go see a doctor, they may be in pain, sick, etc., and say things they normally wouldn't say. :shrug: That said... We can either be pro-active or re-active. Pick your fight. Stop it all now, or fight the constant battles in the future when it gets implemented here.
