  1. You are incorrect. The constitution does not apply to private individuals making restrictions on their private property. There are plenty of restrictions on free speech, just none (few) originating with the government. This afternoon, see if you have a right to protest or hold church service on your neighbor's front lawn. All the constitution protects you from is government infringement of your rights.

    Try banning Korans or restrict women from wearing veils at an apartment complex and see how fast the ACLU slaps a lawsuit on them.

  2. Restricting a Constitutional right? Could they also restrict Time or Newsweek magizine, the Bible? Restrict conservative talk radio programs from being aired etc?

    I know many people don't see gun rights as the same as speech, religion, or privacy like we do but according to the Bill of Rights, it is illegal to restrict possession of firearms. If a tenant has the time or money it would be worth a law suit. Apartments are dwellings for people to live in, I just don't see how they can legally restrict a Constitutional right.

  3. You don't need to be convicted of a felony, or any other crime, to be ineligible to purchase a handgun. Simply having a protective order, or pleading to certain misdemeanors makes you ineligible. Check out 18USC922. This isn't new.

    I've always thought that was a constitutional infringment, being denied a firearm on hearsay only. My sister was beaten and hospitalized by her ex 20+ years ago when she had a protection order on him so what do those do anyway to a psycho who is determined and doesn't care about the consequences? He could have easily obtained a firearm and shot her weather he had the PO or not. Also I have known, thank God never been involved with, some vindictive women who would file a protection order just simply for revenge knowing their husband/boyfriend would be denied his rights. As a matter of fact I know of a case where that happened to a friends son. There was no proof, witness, or evidence of abuse, just her word against his and he was told he couldn't posess firearms. He may have hit her or not but I do know there was no evidense of it.

  4. No,but I do like reduced loads in my .44 Mag which is about the same thing.:rolleyes:

    Yea, I thought of a .44 magnum lite. I keep my Glock loaded with Hornaday Tap 230gr. +p, they are supposed to give 900 to 1000 fps. I guess I'm still in the mindset back in the early 90's when they compared everything with the Fuller index of stopping power. Back then the .45 and .357 were the top dogs. I don't think they considered the .44 mag as a defense round.

  5. True. Any Tennessee governor can do that (so can the President)...it is a way for them to signal their disapproval without overturning the will of the people as expressed through their elected representatives. Doing so will, they hope, not cost them or their party any votes in the next election--while still giving them an "I told you so" if the legislation results in ill effects.

    I believe they call that being chicken feces.:rolleyes:

    I would rather him not sign it than vetoing it since it's his last term.

  6. I really like that. Mind if I borrow it?

    Sure, go ahead. :P

    I hadn't paid attention to my sig line lately, wonder what HS would think about that?

    Question:

    I heard, or possibly read here that some time ago at one of the Goodman shows at the Fairgrounds that there were people walking around the parking lot writing down plate numbers. Is that true?

  7. I've always wanted a big bore carry revolver with up to a 3" barrel and a load that will push a 200+ grain HP at around 900 to 1000 fps. Is there a .44 spec +p load like that?

    Right now that's just one on my wish list, can't afford anything right now.

  8. I'd love to have it, check your PM box please.

    Sent you a reply. I figured if it would handle .454 Cassull then it will handle any charge you load it with for .45 Colt.

    I used to have a Raging Bull, mostly for a novility fun gun but it was expensive to shoot. I took it deer hunting a few times, never got a deer with it besides being a bright stainless revolver it was like taking a mirror hunting with you.

  9. I have a coffee can full of .454 brass I found yesterday, I don't reload but I hate to waste it. Wondering if anyone in the Kingston Springs/ Dickson, Bellvue area wants it. Of course I don't want anything for it. I wondered if someone who loads .45 Colt could cut them down a mm. I assume they could be loaded to +p. I also have about 100 .45ACP brass, I know it's not a lot, maybe not worth the trouble but like I said I hate to waste it.

  10. It still has to be signed by the Governor..and the house and senate has to work out the details before they can send it to the Gov because the senate modified the version that the house passed. If the Gov signs it, then it becomes law on July 1st. If he veto's it, then the house and senate must override the veto for it to become law.

    My understanding is that he doesn't have to sign it or veto at all and it will automatically become law after a period of time. That's his way of playing both sides of the fence.

  11. This is an old artical I found while searching age restrictions in bars in Tennessee. I like what my state rep had to say, Phillip Johnson. I have written him before and recieved a personal, not generic response. I'll have to write him again and thank him. I also like some of the readers comments at the bottom.

    Tennessee House passes bill to allow guns where alcohol is served - Kingsport Times-News Online

    But Rep. Phillip Johnson, R-Pegram, said critics of the bill were losing sight of the possibility that criminals could already be carrying their weapons in bars and restaurants regardless of current laws.

    “The folks that are breaking the law are there,” said Johnson. “The only people abiding to the law are the gun carry permit holders.”

  12. I think those of us here in Tennessee, need not worry about being a minority if we a bit right of center. Looks like I qualify. Sadly I don't see myself as a threat to the Government. Lou Dobbs had a segment about this tonight. I watched it and just shook my head.

    To my mind Homeland Security looks like it is turning into what I feared it would be all along. Believe it or not, I don't blame Obama for this. I thought it was a stupid and dangerous idea to begin with. "W" is the one that must take responsiblity for unleashing what looks to be turning into a monster, on us. :screwy:

    I argued with some republican friends years ago about my concern with the patriot act and the development of the homeland security dept. Even though I voted republican the last 20 years I saw the danger in the creation of a new government agency because they tend to have an agenda of their own that never considers individual rights and the constitution.

    Well, this is just going to make me more vocal as it will with many others. I will not remove my NRA sticker from my window and may add some "anti-government" sticker to my bumper. If they wish to label us as right wing radicals for our traditional patriotic American attitudes then lets just give them about 80 million right wing radicals to investicate or watch. Lets see how they handle that.

  13. I have no idea what a moonbat :screwy: is, but I do know what a Campfield is.

    He may make some sense here but otherwise is an ineffectual joke of a rep.

    <!-- start content -->Moonbat is a term used in United States politics as a political epithet referring to liberals or leftists. Wingnut is often used as the analogous epithet aimed at the political right.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-safire_0-0>[1]</SUP>

  14. Well, just keep up the letters to your Congressman/woman and Senator reminding them not to endorse any irrational emotionally charged legislation against our 2nd Amendment rights, I guess it's my turn to fire a letter or two off again. Remind them in a polite way that we are the ones who hire and fire them every election, some you do not have to warn but encourage them to speak out and be a voice for all the decent law abiding gun owners.

    As far as arguing with the public, there are some it's worth debating with, maybe you can calm them down some but there are others, and we all know how they are, that debating with them is pointless. There are some who I just don't acknowledge their existance anymore, like trying to argue with a yapping Chihuahuau, just say shoo, git, go away.

  15. From the article:

    EXCLUSIVE: You've heard this shocking "fact" before -- on TV and radio, in newspapers, on the Internet and from the highest politicians in the land: 90 percent of the weapons used to commit crimes in Mexico come from the United States.

    -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it to reporters on a flight to Mexico City.

    -- CBS newsman Bob Schieffer referred to it while interviewing President Obama.

    -- California Sen. Dianne Feinstein said at a Senate hearing: "It is unacceptable to have 90 percent of the guns that are picked up in Mexico and used to shoot judges, police officers and mayors ... come from the United States."

    It's the usual anti-gun rights perpetraters manufacturing this lie, we all know their anti-gun agenda in the past will show itself again. Look for gun control legislation to come before congress in the near future. A leopard can't change it's spots.

  16. I know, there are way more pressing issues in these ridiculous times to b*&tch about, but I am really tired of being referred to as, and hearing my fellow countrymen being referred to as "Bubba", "Average Joe", "Joe the Plumber and so on. I feel these are insulting slurs, designed as propaganda by the Govt/Media complex to create a negative public image of white, American, middle aged males.

    Does anybody else agree? How is this different from using the "N" word to describe African Americans?

    It's a term used by the sanctimonious elite most often of the liberal persuasion often followed by redneck or hillbilly etc. Especially directed towards gun owners on some other forums I have read. It's the only bigotery that's acceptable to them but it's bigotery never the less no different than racism.

  17. The administration is simply manufacturing excuses to attack the 2nd Amendment in the future with gun control legislation. No common sense solutions are required like securing the border. The best way for them to futher their real agenda is to use the media to play on the emotions of the naive.
