The two things bolded in the last paragraph seem to contradict each other. The White House School Safety Commission’s report recommends gun confiscation orders as part of an overarching response to mass shootings in gun-free schools. Such orders, often referred to as Red Flag Laws, already exist in California, where a gunman shot and killed 11 innocents at Borderline Bar & Grill on November 7. The laws also exist in Florida, where a gunman shot and killed three at a gun-free Jacksonville mall on August 26, 2018. On March 2, 2018, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) noted the push for red flag laws post-Parkland, saying, “Anti-gun interest groups and politicians have used the Parkland shooting to launch what, until recently, they regarded as a distant dream — a wave of state legislation authorizing the confiscation of firearms.” The White House School Safety Commission’s report will be released this week, and it will include calls for such confiscatory laws. On December 18, 2018, Breitbart News quoted Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’s preview of the report, saying, “Our report endorses states adoption of extreme risk protection orders, which temporarily restrict access to firearms to individuals found to be a danger to themselves or others.” DeVos stressed that the White House wants the confiscatory orders structured in a way that is “cognizant of due process protections and respectful of Second Amendment liberties.” https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/12/18/white-house-school-safety-report-recommends-gun-confiscation-orders/

We haven't even met and already have two things in common..................being retired and guns . My number is heading out to both of you.

You, bigun and I should have our own little meet and greet someday

Glad you're ok and welcome back. We can't afford to lose any members from our part of the state

I think this pretty much sums up the importance of the 2nd amendment. I can't understand why any true American would want something like this. CUCUTA, Venezuela/Colombia border – As Venezuela continues to crumble under the socialist dictatorship of President Nicolas Maduro, some are expressing words of warning – and resentment – against a six-year-old gun control bill that stripped citizens of their weapons. “Guns would have served as a vital pillar to remaining a free people, or at least able to put up a fight,” Javier Vanegas, 28, a Venezuelan teacher of English now exiled in Ecuador, told Fox News. “The government security forces, at the beginning of this debacle, knew they had no real opposition to their force. Once things were this bad, it was a clear declaration of war against an unarmed population.” Continued at link...................................... https://www.foxnews.com/world/venezuelans-regret-gun-prohibition-we-could-have-defended-ourselves

Did your Dad like you ?

Maybe it has something to do with all those new folks from out of state moving into the eastern end of the state. The state is starting to tip over like Guam

Is this another one of those moon landing scams.......that looks like the Mojave Desert to me

I think I actually like this idea. Even if it gets passed in the House, the Senate won't pass it and if by some wild chance it does squeak through it will get vetoed by Trump. About the only thing that I can see coming out of it is alienating every gun owner in the country both Democrat and Republican. House Democrats plan to introduce legislation criminalizing private gun sales once the new Congress is in session. Mother Jones reports that Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) met with gun control groups that included the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Everytown for Gun Safety, the Center for American Progress, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and Gabby Giffords’ group. He asked them what they wanted, and a bill to criminalize private gun sales was on their wish list. So Thompson will sponsor legislation requiring a background check before someone may buy a gun from his neighbor, a co-worker to get a background check before buying a gun from a co-worker, and so forth. The bill will go so far as to require a son to get a background check before a father can give him a gun as a gift. Private gun sales are legal and have been an American tradition since 1791, the year the Second Amendment was ratified. Ironically, a ban on private sales would not have stopped a single mass shooting witnessed to this point in the 21st century because nearly every mass shooter acquires his guns at retail via a background check. The exceptions to the rule are the mass shooters who steal their guns. While the Democrats’ gun control push will not prevent mass shootings, it will criminalize a grandfather for passing his goose gun to his grandson without government permission. It will also criminalize a mother who gives her college-age daughter a revolver for self-defense without first getting government permission. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/12/05/house-democrats-plan-push-criminalize-private-gun-sales/

Here's a nice cane (just for walking)

It would be interesting to see how they manage to retrieve this vehicle. Bet the driver needed a clean pair of pants

Welcome to the group from the western end of the state. You might find what you're looking for at this link. Gun laws by state. https://www.gunstocarry.com/gun-laws-state/

The first time I visited out there I told myself that the cost was a little too steep ($400 to join and $200 per yr. membership). By the time I decided to take the leap, it had gone up to $500 and $300.

Maybe the New Madrid Fault is getting ready to do it's thing.

Google this "pietta 1873 ftf problems" and you'll see you're not the only one having this problem.

I gave up on Remington ammo long ago. I had the same experience with .22, 38, 357 and 380. I could load the round back in the chamber and it would fire the second time but I wouldn't want to trust my life on it. I would try a different brand of ammo or just gift me the '73

Just curious, how much does this monster weigh?

Happy Thanksgiving. I finally get to eat From this: To this:

I got some today also. One box of .22 and three boxes of .380. The .380 was 79.99 for 350 rounds (after tax and with the rebate it comes out to $.19 a round). Their sale started today and runs through the 24th. In case someone needs it, this is a link to the rebate form: https://promotions.vistaoutdoor.com/EN/US/Home/Brand/68
