The dude's name should tell you what you need to know. Cabeza means "head" in Spanish. And of course we all know what the shortened nickname for Richard is, right? Put them together and what do ya get!

http://www.sacbee.com/2013/12/09/5986084/federal-judge-says-california.html ROSEVILLE, Calif., Dec. 9, 2013 -- /PRNewswire/ -- In a rejection of California Attorney General Kamala Harris' stance on the rights of law-abiding gun owners, Senior Federal District Court Judge Anthony W. Ishii denied Harris' motion for summary judgement today in a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by The Calguns Foundation, indicating that California's 10-day "waiting period"gun laws are likely unconstitutional. "The fact that a federal judge saw these laws for what they are -- baseless restraints on the exercise of a fundamental civil right -- is monumental," explained Gene Hoffman, Chairman of The Calguns Foundation. "California's waiting period laws for those who own guns is not Constitutional and this order really underlines the point." In his order, Judge Ishii said that Harris has "not presented sufficient evidence to show that the [10-day waiting period laws] passes either intermediate or strict scrutiny." About the laws being challenged in the case, named plaintiff Jeff Silvester of Hanford, California, said, "I have a license to carry a loaded firearm across the State. It is ridiculous that I have to wait another 10 days to pick up a new firearm when I'm standing there in the gun store lawfully carrying one the whole time." "This is certainly an exciting development in Second Amendment case law," noted Brandon Combs, an individual plaintiff in the case and the Executive Director of The Calguns Foundation. "If our Constitution means what it says, then California's gun waiting period laws have to be overturned and law-abiding people must be allowed to exercise their rights without irrational infringements." Regardless of the final decision at the district court, the case is virtually certain to end up at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and possibly even the Unite States Supreme Court. "Cases like this one will define the limits of government regulations on firearms and Second Amendment rights," said Combs. "We look forward to making sure laws like California's waiting period are properly scrutinized by the courts." Judge Ishii was appointed to the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of California by President Bill Clinton in 1997.

Further down the slippery slope...really not surprised

[quote name="tnguy" post="1079071" timestamp="1387058735"]Much as I am no fan of welfare cheats, or, indeed, welfare in general, I doubt that women in polygamous relationships claiming as single mothers is much an issue worth paying attention to.[/quote] I brought that particular type of welfare scam not as a reason to support legalizing polygamy, but more as a "hey, bonus!" if it was granted official recognition. I don't like government involvement in marriage because when you grant it legitimacy to regulate things in your favor, you are obligated to recognize that same legitimacy when it changes the rules and turns the tables against you.

[quote name="RobertNashville" post="1079015" timestamp="1387050313"]I'd rather just see us eliminate (or a wholesale restructuring of) welfare but at least this could be an improvement.[/quote] Could we have both? An elimination of the welfare state [i]and[/i] an elimination of government mucking about in folks' relationships. -

The type and makeup of romantic relationships of [i]consenting adults[/i] is of no business of the government. Another positive aspect of legal recognition of plural marriage is that it would allow elimination of a type of cheating of the welfare system popular among polygamous communities. Where the non legal spouses receive foodstamps as single mothers. -
[quote name="NRA" post="1078962" timestamp="1387045838"]I agree with you but it is so small it does not even get in my way. I do not even know it is there. (the safety that is)[/quote] Oh I know. I have handled and shot them before. My thinking is that if I don't intend on using it, I don't want it there on the off chance it is accidentally engaged. I view it as a possible failure point, even if unlikely. If I practiced & trained to use the safety that be a different matter but since I don't, I don't want it to possibly trip me up when I don't have an extra second or two to figure out that my gun won't fire because an item I don't use got switched to the on position.
-
I'm thinking real hard about a shield, it is definitely on the want list. As far as the manual safety, I'm just gonna yank it out altogether as I view it as an extraneous item and an extra point of possible failure. My carry guns don't have manual safeties.

Clarksville appears to be a fair amount cheaper than Memphis. That being said, prices have definitely gone down.

[quote name="RobertNashville" post="1078357" timestamp="1386953361"]Do they even have those here in TN??? ;)[/quote] I don't know, but I think there is a website called backpage where you can find that sort of thing as well as anything else other folks have for sale broken down by city. A lot like Craigslist, but they kept their red light section. Or so I am told...

[quote name="LINKS2K" post="1078326" timestamp="1386950618"]My point is that most TGO members don't live in Memphis, but probably have several more weapons than any Memphian here for sport and security that they really don't need since they safely reside outside of Memphis. Obviously, things aren't so rosey in the rest of the state either. I never notice Memphians doing much bitching about the crime because it seems that most are smart enough to know that there will be higher concentrations of crime in urban areas. It comes with the territory. Also, it appears that most Memphis members have enough sense not to patronize whores, buy drugs and steal from people, so we hear about crime the same way that you do from news organiztions that love to keep you paralyzed and bunkered down in your home afraid to turn the channel and miss the next threat.[/quote] As a PSA: If you are gonna patronize whores, leave the street walkers alone. The outcall escort services are worth the extra $$. Not that I'd know or anything.

[quote name="LINKS2K" post="1078341" timestamp="1386951519"]1. I'm going to remember this thread the next time that one of Obamas juveniles does something stupid to see if we can get the same level of compassion for the young person. After all, we wouldn't want to destroy the life of a minor would we? 2. I recently had a lady get pissed at me because I told her that the little sh*t who killed that contractor in Memphis needed a life sentence or the death penalty for his crime. He killed a kids father on the kids birthday. He should fry! 3. I always attempt to place myself on both sides of the story. If this drunken asshole were my son, sure I would want to protect him. On the other hand, if this jack wad had killed one of my loved ones I would want the bast@rd to fry several times over. He committed a major crime and destroyed many lives in the process.[/quote] I'll show the same level of compassion. ;)

[quote name="TripleDigitRide" post="1078220" timestamp="1386919442"]My cousin is a machine programmer for the company that's owned by this child's father. He said that there are already at least 5 or 6 multi-million dollar lawsuits in the works. They are suing the child, the parents, and the father's company. Apparently the child was driving a company truck at the time of the accident.[/quote] Here is where the number of victims goes up. How many folks are going to lose their jobs as the father is forces to sell off and liquidate parts or all of his company?

For child pornography! http://www.wmctv.com/story/24193886/tn-senators-chief-of-staff-investigated-for-child-porn?utm_source=buffer&utm_campaign=Buffer&utm_content=bufferd753c&utm_medium=facebook (WMC-TV) - Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander's chief of staff is being investigated for child pornography. A search is underway at the home of Ryan Loskarn, who is the chief of staff at Sen. Alexanders' Washington, D.C. office. Senator Alexander released the following statement regarding the investigation: "I was just informed by the United States Senate legal counsel's office that law enforcement agents are conducting a search of the personal residence of Ryan Loskarn, the chief of staff of my Washington, D.C., office regarding allegations involving child pornography. I am stunned, surprised and disappointed by what I have learned. Based on this information, I immediately placed Mr. Loskarn on administrative leave without pay. The office is fully cooperating with the investigation." According to Roll Call, the "source for news on Capitol Hill", Loskarn also used to work as the communications director for Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), among other House representatives.

Constitutional Amendment Convention Gaining Momentum
Chucktshoes replied to gun sane's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
There are several articles over at Daily Kos of folks wetting their knickers over the thought of those meddling conservatives at an Article V convention foiling their schemes. This is the most recent one. It is worth supporting if only to keep the wailing and gnashing of teeth up over there. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/12/04/1260066/-Alert-Art-V-Convention-Threat-Grows-Dec-7-2013-Assembly -
This is par for the course for those fuckwits. They get no benefit of the doubt from me. However, as bad as they are, I don't want them going anywhere. Until the bad laws the ATF enforces are gone, I will take their incompetence over a competent and much more ruthless FBI any day. So I say be thankful for the incompetence of the ATF and pray it sticks around until those laws are gone.

:lol: Alright you two. Knock it off. Back to topic, as someone who has faced real discrimination based on sexual orientation by being discharged under DADT (long story)I wouldn't call what took place there real discrimination. A private entity chose not to provide his services to a couple of folks based on personal convictions, boohoo. Unless this baker engaged in actions that caused identifiable harm to the couple like accepting the order and then reneging at the last moment, or calling all the other bakers in town and having them blackballed because they were a couple of 'mos then leave the poor man alone. To the couple in question I would ask why they feel the need to have the approval of everyone to the point of taking folks to court so that they can get some one to officially say they are just as good as everyone else. It speaks to deep seated insecurities in my opinion. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
