Tyler Smith - Gone (confirmed)

Your tune has changed from your initial agreement that UT athletes should not possess firearms.

It is strange that you continue cutting and pasting dreck from the Huffington Post that is supposed to make gun owners feel bad. It is a delight to shoot a firearm. It is a pleasure to know that I can stop a vehicle from making it up my driveway if the need arises. It is nice to know that as I sleep if someone breaks the lock on my door or window I will bring death to them before they can ascend the stairs to where my daughter lies sleeping, and that my wife is well trained to do the same if I am not there.

Are we supposed to feel bad that we enjoy shooting guns? Go ahead and get out your blood pressure medication because I also enjoy shooting skeet and hunting, and shooting targets that look like Bin Laden...

Do you try to make people hate you on purpose?
 
If you buy a gun at a second-hand shop that already has an alterred serial number (first of all, just don't ever do that), you can somehow take that in and have it reregistered and given a new number.
 
You don't know how to argue. You cannot even recognize facts. Arguing to you seems to mean false conclusions and name calling. Yes this is a waste of time.

Says the guy who jumped into this thread by calling people liberal Easterner wusses who are scared of black people. You're a joke.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said that "UT athletes should not possess firearms." I merely agreed that if UT wants to institute a policy to that effect, they'd be justified in doing so. That's not the same thing at all.

I don't read the Huffington Post. I keep a gun in my house, and I know how to fire it. I just think that people who get off on the physical act of shooting a gun, who obsess over their weaponry's mighty stopping power and what a badass it makes them feel like, need to get laid more.

First, there is no such thing as a "retail" sale of a gun without a valid serial number. Any business entity must have an FFL (Federal Firearms License) and the serial # is part of the transaction paperwork. Any movement of a weapon (in this case a Taurus 9mm) with a filed down serial number is off the books.

2nd, TN has no gun registration so any discussion of that issue is moot.

Not to downplay the serial # issue, which if the Feds get involved could get nasty, but let's not gloss over the base issue here. Let's say there was no altered serial # problem, we are still talking about illegal possession of loaded handguns without a license. Everybody in the car is already on record as saying they knew about the guns. Said guns were loaded and under the drivers seat.

And as for jurisprudence it's not germane to the issue for athletes being suspended/kicked off a team. The law is about charges/fines/records/jail time. A school can do as it sees fit on this issue.

Unless somebody wants to argue the whole thing is faked then we KNOW these guys were illegally possessing firearms. The altered SN isn't the issue, it only makes the issue worse.

You must be a liberal choadsmoking pantywaist. Who's the government to tell a patriot like Tyler Smith he can't keep his firearm loaded? He needs to be ready at all times to bring death to the evildoers who are ready to pounce on his girlfriend's car as it's moving at 70 mph down I-40.

LOL. Yeah, I know.

Anybody with a clean record can get a permit. It really is just that simple. Short of that either have the weapons stowed legally or deal with the consequences when you're caught. Actually, I'm very pro-gun which is, in fact, precisely why I get so angry when people abuse their lawful use. It makes the rest of us legal owners look bad by association.
 
Saying that the announcement should come later today. We'll see if it actually happens today! :)
 
So now you have backed up and the real problem is just the "charge" of altered serial numbers. Who did the altering? Does court agree they were altered? Who's gun was it? You do not know. Take the flour sack off your head.

What horrible crime are they guilty of to be thrown off the team without a hearing? None. Suspension til all the facts and findings are certain is fine but not it is not fine to just discard these guys without all the facts. You seem in a rush to destroy others. You and a few of your buds do not, fortunately, represent society. There is a process to be followed. You would want that process for yourself and you must give it to others,... junior.

Can we blame this on Fullmer too? Great that's OK with you guys, isn't it?

For the love of Corky...

I'll try one last time, and try to type a little s-l-o-w-e-r for your benefit and hopeful reading comprehension.

"What horrible crime are they guilty of to be thrown off the team without a hearing?"

Possessing a firearm with an altered serial number, and if the feds get involved, Mr. Smith will be sporting a new orange uniform.

You may not get tv in your wilderness hut writing your unabomber manifesto, but Gilbert Arenas was just indefinitely suspended from the NBA for bringing a gun into his locker room, sans the weed and beer. I guess they shouldn't have done anything to him either. I mean, what if some Easterner racist wuss invades his locker room and tries to beat him with a 2x4? He would need to defend himself.

I do agree with you on getting all of the facts. However, there are many rumors circulating that Tyler Smith is the owner of the guns. If they were not Tyler's guns, then he still needs at least a multi-game suspension for weed and alcohol. If you honestly think he is innocent of everything, then you have consumed too much yellow snow.

I'm sure you are at your militia meeting now, talking about the government trying to take away your guns and how they force you to pay taxes. Better make sure that underground bunker is full of water, potted meat, D batteries, flashlights, and your cb radio.

I bet you were the little skinny kid that got throttled for his lunch money daily, and now that you own a gun, by god, it won't happen again.

Run along and tell Captain Sig or Phil to send me some king crab.

I think we can blame this on Fulmer. He probably sold the altered gun to Tyler.

I have went from sophomore to junior...will I be a senior or freshman in your next witty retort?
 
Hopefully, the other 3 players stay on the team, since the guns belonged to T. smith.
 
Rob Lewis just said that he couldn't confirm that Tyler Smith will get kicked off the team or not, but he did say that Tyler and his attorney were meeting with MH and CBP today, but he wasn't sure if the meeting had already concluded.

As far as most of the crap above, it is said that God made men and Sam Colt made men equal.

Since you are the hangman and the judge, I am sure that if it turns out they were TS's guns, Ramar took them and tried to alter the serial number to cover his tracks and the 4 amigos simply went and recovered the guns, nothing in your thinking will be changed. You are not willing to wait and listen to the facts before you decide the fate of others.

You really don't seem to think clearly and independently. You just resort to insults and juvenile grade school name calling. So ignore everything but the rocks in your head and start spouting.

That "I have went" stuff needs to be better expressed, grade schooler.
