Comments by Representative Brandon Ogles on 2nd Amendment

[Worriedman]

During the presentation for HB 1735, the bill that takes permitted and permitless carry down to the Constitutional age of 18, these were the comments by Rep. Ogles (R Franklin)

I attempted to have a meeting with him afterwards to discuss the difference in his understanding and the facts of the Constitution with respect to the issue of the 2nd Amendment and the meaning of the words but he did not have time...

I sent him a treatise on the use and meaning of the term well regulated at the time of the Founding, but he has not responded.

This was his take on the issue:
Rep. Brandon Ogles on 2nd Amendment.

I read the TFA email on that and all I got to say is eff that guy. 
 

Franklin, y’all need to do better. 

[FUJIMO]

After watching that video it doesn't surprise me he would dodge someone questioning him

[RED333]

Franklin needs better representation.

He’s very well May be the next governor.

Lots of machinery seems to be positioning for it right now.

Brandon, or Andy Ogles who is currently Williamson County Mayor? 

He would have to stave off Speaker Sexton's run for that seat, and with evidence like posted above, I can not believe the great unwashed in Tennessee  would put Brandon in that position.

We do not want this man as Governor.

We don't even want him in the House.  If ever anyone needed an opponent in the primary, it's him.

[Erik88]

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

You’re correct.  I only saw the Ogles in the text above. They’re cousins I think?

I guess we’ve got at least one too many Ogles in Tennessee politics.

I hope that any members here who are in Brandon Ogle's district will start lighting up his phone and filling his email box over these comments.  He needs to feel a lot of heat over these comments.

Wow. I thought Memphis had some real asshats but this guy should rise to the top. Just like poop in the pot.

Politicians like to use word meanings only when it's applicable to their needs-

Well Regulated does not mean today what it meant 200 years ago-

[Worriedman]

It is important that as many as can, contact his office and let him know your thoughts.  As a member of the Civil Justice sub committee, he not only represents his district, but the entire State.  Members of the GA take that responsibility on when they accept appointments to such committees. 

If he is not publicly chastised he will be emboldened.

We have important bills in his sub committee and full committee this week, he needs to be contacted, often...

I'm re-reading one of James Fennimore Cooper's novels, "The Prairie", written in 1827,, and in it one of the characters makes a comment about his time spent with a military unit:

"I made a forage or two among the Cherokees, when I was a lad myself; and I followed Mad Anthony,^[10] one season, through the beeches; but there was altogether too much tatooing and regulating among his troops for me"

At that time, 1827, "regulated" didn't mean what it means today. More important, I think, is Scalia's analysis that the first clause of the amendment simply stated one of the reasons for the second clause. Had the first clause been the entire reason for the amendment, there would have been no need for the second at all.
