I actually like the look for some reason. I'll see myself out.

Just hurt. I thought we were friends.

Sadly, if he wins the primary he's our next governor. TN will elect anyone with an R next to their name.

I'm going to be honest. I stopped reading his comments a long time ago. There are certain members that cause my eyes to glaze over and I just go to the next comment. If others do that to my posts I won't be offended.

1 billion? We can do better than this. I already bought one gun this month. Who will join me?

I'm seeing a lot for sale but most aren't street legal. No mirrors, lights etc. Is TN pretty lax in their laws about converting one?

Is it likely that I could find an old but reliable dual sport bike for $1,500-2000? I'd like to dip my toe in the water before forking out $4k. What should I look for and where besides Facebook and Craigslist?

Are most dual sport bikes 2 stroke? How would this one rank? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5243981408969842/

Is there a good forum for learning more about these types of bikes? I know I see some street legal bikes that look more like dirt bikes which I'm interested in. Not sure where to look.

A family in Knoxville just lost their child to COVID related issues a few days ago. She apparently had an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder that was triggered by COVID and passed away within days. I'm not sure what I would do if I had kids when it comes to the vaccine.

This thread surprised me. It's been many years since I transferred a gun and didn't realize how much shops were charging now. Can't blame them I suppose.

Interesting that you say this because we've used our gas fireplace a few times this winter and it seems like a waste of money. It doesn't seem to heat up the living room at all. I guess they aren't all equal.

Budget $1000-1200. Use- probably won't get shot a ton. I'm not shooting a lot these days as I conserve ammo. I want something to shoot occasionally that would potentially go up in value over time.

What AK options would be at the top of your list? I really one one with the traditional looking wood furniture.

Lately I've found myself wanting an AK to stash but the prices are a turn off. Someone posted a beautiful specimen from Poland in the classifieds. Is 7.62 ammo just as outrageous as every other caliber right now?

We don't have to go back that far. How many innocent people have we killed in the middle east the last 20 years? Just last night we did a raid in Syria where women and kids were killed. https://www.newsnationnow.com/world/us-forces-launch-raid-in-syria-civilians-also-reported-dead/

I'm currently listening to a new a podcast I found called The MLK Tapes. It's very good. I knew little about his assassination and always assumed what we were taught in school was the truth. I had no idea so much evidence indicates that Ray didn't shoot him. https://themlktapes.com/

Every 6-8 months some "news" will break about some new way the ATF is about to to bend us over. People get outraged, all the YouTube gun gurus put out click bait videos, then the ATF seems to back down and we don't hear about it for another 6-8 months, if ever. I find myself feeling unsure as to what I'm able to do about it.

"If they have it listed". Exactly. It would be a lot easier if people just put it in their listing.

What I would like to know is why people don't put their city in their listing. If I'm on mobile I can't see your location and some people don't even list their location in their profile to begin with. This should be common sense. I can't call you how many times I've seen someone have to ask what part of the state they are in.

Just a basic Hellcat OSP. FDE would be preferred. Are you going to the show Saturday? Maybe text me if you see one?

I haven't been to a Knoxville gun show in years. Are they worth going to? If I could find a deal on a Hellcat I would consider it.

Good point but not really apples to apples comparison. I'd have to watch it again to be sure but I believe every person in the Innocent Files had been exonerated. There was a lot of police misconduct or incompetence. I remember thinking that Avery was likely guilty.

Netflix has two great series on this. The Innocence Files was both disturbing and shocking to watch. I don't think any show has made me as angry as this one. I learned that even after being exonerated some states don't allow former prisoners to be compensated. They are let out of prison without any money to get their life in order. This one is also good.

It's one thing for a detective or prosecutor to make a mistake but I've seen so many examples now where they have all but framed an innocent person. It's maddening. They are almost never prosicuted either. Imagine losing 18 years of your life for something you didn't do.
