Replace the stock with a pistol grip or whittle it down to a goose-neck style grip that can't be shouldered and it's illegal now though. Not as an assault weapon though, as an "other." I'm sure the folks running the event are clueless, just use a black polymer pistol grip and claim the assault...

Probably $25 nonfunctional firearms. Hence my question.

I always wonder about these “no questions asked” events, if you show up with your bag of guns and don’t agree with their classification and offer, do you get to leave with your super illegal assault stuff “no questions asked,” or does it become “accept $25 or this glowering trooper will arrest...

You think Biden would be more likely to reach out or speak up if she hadn't been killed? Ridiculous. No one had to ask Biden to call Ralph Yarl, release media photos and a statement, and tweet from his accounts about his shooting and his call to Ralph. There's not a word from the White House...

No, neither kid did anything wrong at all, but Kaylin's case is objectively more shocking. The car pulled into a driveway on a dirt road and was pulling back out when she (a petite young woman) was gunned down in the car by this middle-aged gunslinger. Whereas in the other case an 84-year-old...

Mr. Lester was taken into custody, questioned, released, and charged and arrested less than a day later, with the media and community baying for his blood, the kid $3 million richer, and a call and invitation to the White House from the president personally to the kid. Okay, maybe they shouldn't...

Missed this one as it only made local news: https://www.wrbl.com/news/local-news/phenix-city/phenix-city-woman-accused-in-childs-capital-murder-released-on-bond/ "A 50-year-old Phenix City woman accused in the deadly shooting of a 13-year-old boy on February 1 is now out of jail after making a...

Not sure what the implication here is. I've used Remington CopperSolid in 12 gauge both 2 3/4" and 3" with good results, as well as other brands. But they are expensive, aren't suitable for all shotguns and applications, and damned if I'm going to let the state tell me I can't use lead.

Didn't intend to drive this thread into the nitty-gritties of autonomous vehicle challenges, but you are absolutely right here. Latency effects mean that a remote driver is never going to be a solution to taking over vehicle controls in an immediate safety emergency such as an impending...

Ah, the old smart road thing will never-ever happen. We can hardly keep our roads maintained with crushed stone and asphalt, much less an live electronic metal grid that trucks drive on. Don't confuse automation with power source. There's no reason to link electric cars to self-driving. The...

You would be surprised. The tech is widely dispersed and there are close to a dozen independent companies that have most of the pieces needed to teach a computer how to drive. The state of the art and dispersion of the knowledge has shifted a long ways and the barrier to entry is lower. Tesla...

Absolutely not! This is an assault on our way of life. These are the same goblins who want to ban natural gas, propane, and burning WOOD!

I don't think you need to personally worry too much about this threat at age 45. Right now there is a trucker shortage especially on the long haul side. I wish it was reflected more in trucker pay. Hopefully you will be retired voluntarily by the time the bots have taken over. It's the younger...

This is a head-in-the-sand attitude. I agree with Tucker Carlson that gov absolutely needs to put a lid on this technology until we have a solution to take care of all the truckers on the road and all the up-and-coming prospective truckers. But the case for autonomous trucks is on the horizon if...

They bumped the goal up from $1 mil, expect it to continue to increase. Consider some of the more sensational black on white kid killings in recent years that have gotten some minimal media attention. Cannon Hinnant was a 5 year old shot in the head and killed in 2020 while playing in the yard...

He was fired in December 2018, sued in 2019, it was dismissed, he lost an appeal, and it was argued before the Virginia Supreme Court last November. That appeal has apparently not been ruled on yet. The Alliance Defending Freedom has six other "teacher pronoun" lawsuits they are handling, which...

The story is that a black kid knocked on the wrong house door and the white homeowner who answered the door shot him twice. Remains to be seen whether there is more to it (e.g. kid reacting in a threatening way). A GoFundMe has raised $1 million in 20 hours before facts are known; marchers are...

Neither you, the government, or any other unbeliever gets to tell me how to practice my faith or how I should pervert the word of God. Weak! Repent and do better. Yep! And it is also lying. A Virginia teacher did that and was fired anyway back in 2018...

Are you still making $30 now? I have to say this thread is making me sad. Trucking is the #1 occupation in most of this country and not what it used to be in the old days before NAFTA. I see McDonald's hiring at starting at close to $16 around here and they can't find workers who give a shit...

Swing and a miss. Eisenhower and the letter this guy is responding to are talking about the military-industrial complex. Military materiel in government hands, not private gun ownership. Those are two completely different things. America is being robbed by our foreign interventions on behalf of...

Not a lot of details here, it doesn't sound like this particular shooting was justified, but I'm not going to get broken up about it. Maybe if more of these prank bros get double-tapped that will help put a lid on this cancer. The evidence here might be Tanner's only funny video. It is...

You don't have to read very far. "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Genesis 1:27. And again in chapter 5. "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all...

Yeah, this guy is not smart. VietnamEraVet is right that it would have to be unloaded for transport under federal law (and also not stowed in a door compartment). One might also want to know if Jose Luis Jr. is an illegal alien which would make him a prohibited person. Garfield, Arkansas is not...

Are they robbing the store or are they robbing you? If they're robbing the store, then leave with all expediency and call the "proper authorities" to deal with the situation. If you can't safely leave due to a personal threat then act accordingly. The best way protection from robberies and...

I have to agree with others that I don’t love this, both having taxpayers footing the bill for these safes as well as filing paperwork with the government to claim it. It also seems ripe for fraud. How’s the government supposed to know you’re putting guns in the safe? None of the answers are...

And your second list contradicts this resource on Vermont (as well as handgunlaw.us). The cited Vermont statute is their general trespass statute. It says nothing about guns or signs relating to firearms, only about posting against trespass in general. So: 1. I find no cases or support for the...

No, you're wrong, and that's the entire point of the bill, to change that. From the fucking law cited on the sign, which SB1037 repeals: https://law.justia.com/codes/tennessee/2021/title-39/chapter-17/part-13/section-39-17-1359/ c. It is an offense to possess a weapon in a building or on...

So your point is "there is no need what-so-ever for this bill" and at the same time you "agree 100%" that it is badly needed. In other words you are still just knee-jerk "muh property" reacting to this bill 6 pages of nonsense into this steaming pile of thread without really understanding what...

And that's basically what this law restores. It's nobody's business if you are CONCEALED carrying peacefully and properly. Those stupid signs should not have the power of the law to impose criminal penalties or endanger gun rights.

He had no reply. Somehow I didn't even mention Memphis, another Democrat-run city with a violent crime problem to match anywhere in America. Then there was this yesterday, the fourth such incident by a single maniac who is still at large: Many such cases! But people in this thread keep...

Some bad news for you prospective doctors, if you think starting pay for junior doctors there being less than a Pret a Manger barista is bad ... in the UK medical school is straight out of their equivalent of high school and lasts between 4 to 6 years, with 4 years being normal for physicians...

I don't live there, but I know people who have lived there, and I've dealt with trash exported from there, and I have very good info. Knoxville has a Democrat mayor. Chattanooga has an independent mayor. These cities both have extremely high crime rates, including violent crime, double that of...

Having house rules or terms or service is one thing, creating new crimes is another. You offend the proprietor, no soup for you, get out, leave and don't come back, refuse and get bounced and trespassed. Fine. It ends there. Just because you own property that someone steps on doesn't mean you...

What you're missing is ATF agents and DOJ shills trolling private sales venues, forums, and sites and threatening, harassing, or prosecuting any Bubba who's privately bought and sold a gun too many for their liking for "engaging in the business" without a license, and secondarily for not doing a...

What does that even mean? As has been pointed out, "No guns" signs are everywhere in Nashville. Tennessee has crime-infested Democrat-run cities with Soros prosecutors and there are many cases of violent criminals in Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga etc. with mile-long rap sheets and dozens of...

That's a really good question, isn't it? Unfortunately we law-abiding indigenous minorities are being driven further into the hinterlands because of these free passes. "I'm in a shithole city jail surrounded by thugs for protecting myself from other thugs but at least I'm not dead, **who...

"Fuck-it I don't care" may well be the correct response, but the point of these "muh property" no-gun-zone laws is to deter and demoralize; if they do find out you are carrying somehow, they can call the cops who will come arrest you, take all your guns away, and put you in jail. You are lucky...

It's almost certainly not going to trial but there is no way out that will not cost them dearly.

I mean, I don't doubt that the citizens of Newburgh are safer with Mr. Alleyne off the streets, but there is something that "does not compute" in our criminal justice-reformed New York that this poor gentleman of color must serve 11 years in prison for impulsively popping off his Taurus on the...

The way I read this is he wants more feds at gun shows narcing on private sellers. In other words, more of the same, with some showboating.

Sucks for Polymer80. Note this is specific to the PF9SS, not the PF940 or PF45. Glock is alleging the PF9SS is designed to be completed with an improved catch they filed a patent they filed for in 2014 that is active until 2035. The G43 was released in 2015. Based on the complaint it looks like...

I don't want to keep jumping on this thread, but since this keeps coming up, you're quoting two basically unrelated bits of the federal US civil rights code that shouldn't be part of this discussion. One is for certain "public accommodations" and the other is for federally funded programs...

I'm not wrong, am I? Blasting Lizzo causes exactly the same property harm as a pistols peacefully concealed in pants, because extremely libertarian feels.

At least you've made your incoherent, anti-gun libertardian position clear. I wasn't wrong about same energy. You're clearly in the "let them chop off kids' dicks and tits" camp.

At least what I write makes perfect sense. My freedom of self-defense is infringed when the state criminalizes my CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to keep and bear arms. How is your "freedom of association" harmed by my not being criminalized for exercising said right, by concealed carrying while invited...

Oof, you really got me there. What a comeback.

Who is forcing who, hugebrain? If I have a "No Irish" sign in my shop, that might break a civil rights law. If there were no civil rights laws, and Paddy walks in looking and speaking American and I'm none the wiser, he's not breaking any laws. A "No Irish" sign doesn't make him a trespasser or...
