Ok five weeks lol. I deleted that part before you replied because someone may have felt that I crossed the political line and I didn’t want to get the thread closed. You may want to do the same.

I haven’t researched it and don’t really feel like it, but what are the current rules/laws for abortion in TN? I’ve always been surprised either side blows so much political capital on the issue. To me, why someone gets an abortion is not nearly as important as when they do. Does TN have a time limit?

Disagreeing is one thing. Going to a red state gun forum and advocating for politicians and laws that would classify the majority of that forum's members as terrorists and have them thrown in prison for legally purchased items is another matter. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out.

I've done this several times and it's no big deal. It's nice to have a tool-less takedown 1911. Some claim that FL guide rods increase accuracy, but this is baloney. Recoils springs may last longer with FL guide rods, however.

Bumped to top lol

Yep I read that when he said it soon after Uvalde. It’s interesting that a guy convicted of murder wants to dictate who can and can’t own a gun. On the other hand, he is a celebrity and his opinion is gospel to some.

I don't think anybody else scrolls down the TGO website far enough to even see the club forums.

That’s excellent news and thank goodness the “that can”t happen here” types aren’t running the show. There is clearly still work to be done.

I've had good luck with Smith Plumbing and Hugo Plumbing, although neither one was cheap. From my experience with plumbers (and lots of other things), between good/fast/cheap, you usually get to pick two.

All that is true when talking about right to carry laws. However, there are other areas of gun control - "assault weapons", magazine restrictions, suppressor ownership, semi-auto bans, punitive taxes on ammunition, etc, that this decision doesn't address.

Well I’m glad the SC ruled the way it did and they have proven yet again that elections do, in fact, have consequences, but I don’t see how this decision eliminates many of the restrictions we already have in some places or prevents certain new ones. Also, incentivizing red flag laws is a step in the wrong direction. Call me silly, but I’m not ready to become complacent and declare that the fight is over.

Sounds interesting - would be neat to put a (user) name with a face for those we haven't met.

Going to? More like been.

After the last two days, Democrats haven’t been this upset since someone freed their slaves.

A friend got a Zastava M92 7.62x39 pistol and mounted a suppressor after doing some quick machine work to the muzzle. He set it up for Brown Bear 196 grain subsonic ammo and it runs like a sewing machine. That thing is a hoot to shoot. I have no idea what Brown Bear puts in the load, but it can definitely be done with a 168.

Just wait until the climate cultists get their way and reduce/eliminate coal and natural gas. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

You’re crazy. Everybody at work today was bitching about the heat and a few said, “I can’t believe it’s this hot.” Ummmmm news flash, it’s Memphis, it does this every summer, at least the past 50 summers… And the news doesn’t talk about the temperature any more. Heat index sounds scarier I guess.

That’s my point - it’s already happened in places in America where many said it would never happen. People in other states woke up one day and no longer had the freedoms you and I still do.

All that makes sense, although I’m not convinced a simple awareness-of-your-surroundings mindset is unhealthy in the long term. Whatever the case, I don’t think having this awareness attitude or being in a prolonged combat environment (as apparently referenced earlier) is a valid comparison to simply being concerned about and aware of what gun laws have become in other states and could eventually become n ours as well. This is the comparison that I believe Link implied earlier. A refusal to become complacent does not mean one is afraid and paranoid.

I read an article on CNN by Dr. Sanjay Gupta or whatever his name is about how powerful and devastating AR15s are. He quoted all sorts of stats and info about velocity, bullet weight, cavitation, etc. He even provided an incorrect formula for kinetic energy. The typical gun-illiterate CNN fan will quickly infer that only AR15s are capable of some of things Gupta describes, when he is really describing any high power rifle round, as opposed to the gun used to deliver it. But that important detail will be lost on many.

You don’t know #### about me.

Agreed on fear. Being constantly alert and aware, not so much.

I wonder if they once were, but one too many said, “That can never happen here.” Complacency is a bitch. The people who run those places can run America sooner or later.

Exactly. Some of the people deciding whether or not you have a gun are the same people who claim all NRA members are terrorists and anyone who voted for Trump is a racist.

Tell that to people in NY, CA, CT, MA, IL, etc.
