TGO David

I had no idea I'd set it that low.  Easy fix.

Fixing the TGO Store problem.  This may take some time and may slow the forum down a bit.  It's a pretty big query to run against the database.

I'll check and see what the story is on the Benefactor package.

This should be in the Feedback and Support forum.   1.) What sort of error are you getting on the Benefactor Status?  If the package expired, you probably need to purchase a new one rather than renewing.  We had a problem where the forum was trying to auto-renew people's Benefactor status when they didn't want it to so we set the package to being non-renewable.  Buying a new one is the fix.   2.) If you're signed in, you've got the address you needed for the Secret Santa gift, right?

Send me a link to the original version please.  I've got to watch that again.

And he didn't even threaten to kill anyone.

  I think the most ironic part is that he posted a video on the 3rd (I think?) declaring his "line in the sand" and then yesterday this video full of awesome declaring that just one more inch taken and he'd start killing people.  And now the retraction.  So basically he erased his line in the sand and told his audience that it was utter bullshit.   Interesting.

I really wish we could just not cheapen the unfortunate death of one of the industry's brightest by hanging a bunch of tinfoil tinsel off of it.  Just once.    No offense meant toward you, but I've seen this theory and the theory that he was killed because of the metallurgical patent he had just registered for long life machine gun barrels, etc. both posted elsewhere.  The conspiracy stuff ramped up almost as quickly as the news of his untimely death began to spread on the Internet.   Folks, if I die anytime soon it's probably because I didn't lead the healthiest of lifestyles.  Too many cheese burgers, too much bourbon, not enough salads or herbal teas.  It's not because I run a large pro-gun forum for the residents of Tennessee.  Please remember that.

I can't stop watching this video.  Jesus... there's riled up and then there's full retard. You NEVER go full retard like that.   I wonder how long until Camden's population increases by about 100 Federal officers.

Well... that video's just not going to be helpful for anyone.  WTF was he thinking?!  Holy crap! :rofl:  

Welcome, Zeke!

I had a thought and I'm floating this out there as just something to chew on.  I'm not advocating any sort of unrest, so let's just get that clear from the start.   BUT... Have you ever seen someone who was absolutely right about something get argued with to the point that they could no longer gracefully, tactfully articulate their point on a matter and seen them shut down the talking, rational side of their brain.  Have you seen them allow the lizard brain to take over and then they start throwing punches?   I have.  I've seen people get so flustered, so frustrated, so galled by the audacity of the moron arguing with them that they finally just clammed up and threw a massive haymaker and put the moron on their ass.   Frankly, I'm worried that sooner or later the part of society who still believes in the Constitution is going to clam up and stop trying to argue.  And when that happens, God help us for what might be next.   :meh:

  We've got to wrap our heads around the rules of engagement, folks.  Those who seek to do away or castrate the Second Amendment will argue that the Constitution is a living document, open to interpretation and subject to editing and revision via Amendments.  We're trying to fight this battle as though there is some magic fail-safe in place that will keep them from doing this when the sad fact of the matter is that, though written in the blood of patriots, as far as these leaches are concerned the Constitution is not written in indelible ink.  To them it's a matter of drafting new legal documents, sailing them through Congress and calling it a day's work.   If they succeed in doing that, legally they will have changed the fabric of the nation's cornerstone document and with the Second Amendment gone, it won't be so treasonous anymore when viewed through the frame of the newly modified Constitution.  See what I'm getting at?             If they legally change it... the Supreme Court won't hear of anyone being called up on charges of treason.  The charges will have to be framed in context of the law, and the law will be different.     Our fight is to keep them from changing the Constitution.  If we lose that fight, we're fucked.  Plain and simple.   We can sit around now and make claims against people for treasonous thoughts, treasonous desires and treasonous machinations, but if we lose this fight, all of that will amount to squat.   We need to be aware of what these cretin are doing, and we need to fight them every step of the way.  But calling them traitors to the country and expecting that to sell on the battlefield of mass media is public relations suicide.  The voting public will close their ears to it and write us all off as a bunch of right wing loons.   The complacency of the past few generations has screwed us into a disadvantage by allowing the Left to gain complete control of the media, to foster an "on the government tit" society of entitlement, and allowing the Liberals to write the rules of engagement.  Our fight is going to be a really difficult one but the sooner we start taking up the tactics being used against traditional, conservative values and fight fire with fire, the better off we will be.

  Hogwash.  It'll be chambered in .45GAP

Not gonna lie... the receipt is in the safe.  The hat, well... I'm going to wear it til it falls apart.  I think that's the best way to honor a guy like that.  :)

  I've joined you in the lameness.  Plus I'm a Glock fanboy at heart, so... what the heck.

Yeah, because I have a well documented history here of candy coating the way I feel about people, things or issues.   I still say it's preemptive to call the guy a traitor just because he has an opinion on something that runs sideways to what you or I think or believe.  Dissent is the highest form of patriotism, even if it's dissent that you don't agree with.  Until he starts trying to actively betray the American people, our interests, our sovereignty or dismantle the Constitution, he's guilty only of having some really fucked up ideas.

I wonder how long before the BATF starts looking into these folks who have bought rifles only to turn around and flip them for profit.  Onesies twosies, probably not going to attract a whole lot of attention.  Someone on Gunbroker who went and cleared out their local Academy Sports & Outdoors stock of black rifles and then listed them for sale?  Yeah... that guy's probably going to get a visit.

Last week I was poking around looking for a new .300 BLK upper for my SBR and noticed that Noveske had a new hat in their catalog. Doing the reasonable thing, I ordered one. It shipped out on January 2nd and was packed by the man himself. Your AR15 may have an inflated value right now, but money couldn't buy this hat from me. I'm man enough to admit I teared up a little when I saw his signature on the packing slip. MFNJN... Mother F'n John Noveske. :rock: Rest In Peace, John!!! :(

As posted elsewhere...   ###     ALERT: Fingerprint / photo reqs for Trusts/Corp coming soon?   I'm sure most of you've heard of the CLEO sign off for individuals going away potentially. Well, that's good news, but what I didn't realize until today is that the main purpose (title) of the proposed change is to require each responsible member of a trust of corporation to submit fingerprint cards and photographs. This new regulation hasn't been adopted yet, but supposedly it's in the stage of "proposed rule making" so it may only be a matter of time. The Department of Justice is proposing to amend the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) regarding the making or transferring of a firearm under the National Firearms Act. The proposed regulations would (1) add a definition for the term "responsible person"; (2) require each responsible person of a corporation, trust or legal entity to complete a specified form, and to submit photographs and fingerprints; http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAg...&RIN=1140-AA43 This would be a huge strike against the trust/corporate route and would add time and complexity. I would imagine processing times going up as the rate of paperwork errors should increase when everyone has to submit additional documentation.

The site is just ridiculously fast during the day but once we load it up with 400+ active users in the evening, all searching and posting, it really comes to a crawl.  The good news is that a friend of mine has been working at getting a very reliable new server set up for us, so I'm hopeful that we can move soon.   When it comes to servers and infrastructure, I'm pretty good at a lot of things, and really good at a few, but this guy is awesome at Linux servers so when he volunteered I knew it was time to step aside and let him do his magic.

  lol... I assure you that's not it.   I've had my own thoughts about the fact that a lot surrounding Sandy Hook just don't feel right and I was willing to listen to what that guy was saying until I got to the point of actually trying to read his page.  It was horrible.

I look at the profit people are making off of selling their personal ARs and such the same way I do the winnings most people get from the lottery.  Here today, gone tomorrow... and gone very quickly.   There's no way I am selling any of what I own just to make a quick buck, especially given that there's no guarantee I would ever be able to replace it.

  TF is that page trying to accomplish?  I can't even read it.  Is there a requirement somewhere that fringe lunatics have to suck at web page design?  This guy might completely be on the right track but I'm never going to get to the end of what he's shoveling because trying to read that jumbled mess of columns and colors and fonts and pictures makes my whole face hurt.

Unfortunately there's no way of knowing whether those are in stock or not per their web site.  They open at 7am for calls.  Might want to call before you order.
