Meaning that unless they know you had it, they won't know you sold it. That's the problem with these laws, they won't be able to enforce them without a database.

I'm leaning against mandatory BG checks for private sales. What I would support, is free, voluntary, access to the BG system for those that chose to use it. No paperwork, no records, just a go or no-go. And I'm not willing to give up anything, to get back a right that was taken away, illegally IMO, in the past.

How about a battery operated shooting glove that assists in pulling the trigger at 700-970 rounds per minute

I think there would be a shortage of maglights if this were to happen.

All my 9mms seem light, but the best shooting one IMO is my Browning Hi Power. It just rocks in my hand and comes back down on target. It's just a single action but I've actually carried it a few times, locked and loaded of course.

Don't think that will matter, like finding an old machingun in the attic and welding the barrel shut to keep it. Inop yes, legal...I don't think so.

Say you weld the end of a silencer shut, would that make being in possession legal?

Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission Makes Regulatory Changes in Regard to CWD Confirmation Action Taken at Special Called Meeting Thursday, December 20, 2018 | 02:32pm NASHVILLE --- The Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission (TFWC) has made regulatory changes in response to the confirmation of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in deer in Fayette and Hardeman counties. The changes came at a special called meeting of the TFWC on Thursday (Dec. 20) at the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency headquarters. The commission voted to establish a CWD management zone which currently includes Fayette, Hardeman, and McNairy counties. The commission took action to create deer carcass exportation restrictions and a restriction on feeding wildlife within the high risk area of the CWD management zone, exceptions apply. The high risk area of the CWD management zone includes counties within a 10-mile radius of the location of a confirmed CWD positive deer. Another regulation change for the CWD management zone, is the creation of a new deer hunting season. An archery/muzzleloader/gun deer season was established there for Jan. 7-31, 2019. The bag limit for the season is one antlered deer and unlimited for antlerless deer. All wildlife management areas and other public land on which deer hunting activities are permitted within the three counties will be open during this newly-established season. On or after Dec. 29, 2018, all hunters harvesting deer on weekends (Saturday-Sunday) are required to check the deer in at a physical check station. The TWRA will publish the locations of these stations on its website. The TWRA is continuing its efforts of targeted sampling for CWD outside of the CWD management zone. Emphasis will be placed on those counties surrounding the CWD management zone. With the positive confirmation, Tennessee became the 26th state to have documented CWD. There have also been three Canadian provinces to have CWD. The TWRA enacted the CWD Response Plan last week following the preliminary positive detection. The response involves a coordinated effort between TWRA, Tennessee Department of Agriculture, and other partners. Although CWD has no known risk to the health of humans or livestock, it is a contagious and deadly neurological disorder that affects members of the deer family. It is transmitted through animal-to-animal contact, animal contact with a contaminated environment, and with contaminated feed or water sources. It is the most significant threat to the deer population nationwide, as it is 100 percent fatal to deer and elk. Wildlife agencies across the country are working to inform the public about CWD, its deadly results and possible impacts to economies. More information about CWD, including cervid import restrictions, and videos that explain how to properly dress an animal before transporting it, can be found on TWRA’s website at www.tnwildlife.org.

Mayhaps, but if I were to follow the law, my preference would be to burn it in front of the federal courthouse.

They might, but if it doesn't function then why bother, it's just a crappy stock then.

Maybe, but I must say on this I agree with him. With all the deer harvested over the years in CWD areas, you'd think there would have been at least one person infected if it were possible. With common sense handling of your harvest, you should be ok.

While I do NOT support this, and have voiced my concern to my Reps, it's not as bad as you make it out to be. While he may have initiated this, and arguably it maybe was the lesser of two evils, this is not quite over, lawsuits have been filed, and more are in the wings. And though he may not be as much a supporter of the 2A as he should be, I don't think Obama can be held as the standard bearer for the 2A.

You guys underestimate some people, many have been caught because they posted known illegal harvests. For some it's their own personal knowledge that they harvested one, who knows why.

That is cool, but I think she made a mistake posting it. Now there will be some out there trying to illegally harvest him.

KY reaction: https://kentucky.gov/Pages/Activity-stream.aspx?n=FishandWildlife&prId=342 FRANKFORT, Ky. (Dec. 15, 2018) — To further safeguard Kentucky’s deer and elk from chronic wasting disease, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources announced new restrictions Saturday on the importation of deer from Tennessee. Effective immediately, hunters are prohibited from bringing any deer from Tennessee into Kentucky unless the brain and spinal column have been removed first. The move comes in response to a preliminary positive detection of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in 10 white-tailed deer in Tennessee. Chronic wasting disease has not been detected in Kentucky. Chronic wasting disease is an infectious neurological disease that affects white-tailed deer, elk and other members of the deer family. It invariably leads to the death of affected animals. There is no known treatment or vaccine for the disease, which has been found in more than two dozen states and three Canadian provinces. Deer parts that are allowed under this new restriction include quarters or other portions of meat with no part of the spinal column or head attached, boned-out meat, antlers, antlers attached to a clean skull plate, a clean skull, clean teeth, hides and finished taxidermy works. Chronic wasting disease can be spread across the landscape, either directly through the natural movement of infected deer, elk or other members of the deer family, or through the interstate movement of infected captive deer, elk or other members of the deer family. It also can be transmitted indirectly through the movement of infected carcasses and parts from hunter-harvested deer, elk or other members of the deer family, as well as contaminated soil and water sources. There is no evidence that suggests CWD is transmissible to people or livestock.

I love the line: ‘I want to look like a special ops guy.’ It's not a terrible article, but you get a definite left lean. I noticed no gun mfg or banks suporting them responded to their inquiries, had to get their quotes from unsuspecting gun shops and antis.

No, but my Google-fu is strong

Seems you Memphis boys may need to do some culling of the herd to keep this under control. https://www.wkrn.com/amp/top-news/tennessee/preliminary-detection-of-chronic-wasting-disease-in-tennessee-deer/1661471123

Sadly, I did not recall her name but instantly knew her face. R.I.P.

I agree, to a point. At least it will stop all those individuals from asking, over and over again, about a certain accessory, such as the brace, when it had already been ruled legal. But it does stop many from trying to come up with legal accessories that may be in question.

I'm in the woods by Cumberland City, nothing but ice here, practically every surface is covered. It's melting pretty quickly though, which makes for some loud woods with all that ice falling, so I'll likely not see anything. I was hoping for a bit of snow, but no such luck.

I think it's disingenuous of the TWRA to make a distinction between a sole or breeding pair and a resident population when people just want to know if their pets and kids are in danger. I've seen way too many pics, vids, and stories of sightings to discount the posibility of large black cats out in the woods. Personal collections, sanctuaries, zoos and the occasional migrant cat can all contribute to possible sightings. Heck, I didn't know Florida had a troop of monkeys in the wild until I seen a YouTube on it.

Oh, IDK, I've run steel out to 100 easily, and a few at 300 yards, with my 10.5 300Blk. And my .277 Wlv should reach out to the same distance with less drop and more energy at the target.
