2022 Session is over, Senate Judiciary kills ALL 2nd Amendment issues at behest of the Governor

[Worriedman]

Anyone that intones that Tennessee has a Conservative Legislature willing to address 2nd Amendment issues is seriously demented, willfully ignorant or bough and paid for.

The three real issues of the session were removing the criminal aspect of carrying a firearm, HB 2524, adding long guns into the enhanced Permit , HB 1898 and moving the permit age to 18, HB 1735.

The Senate Judiciary committee killed two (HB 2524 and HB 1735) and House Civil Justice did in HB 1898.

A Republican Supermajority, Right...with friends like these, God forbid we get any enemies.

There was a deal struck with Representative Todd to not run his 1735 on the floor Monday night, where he had the votes to pass it.  The Caucus asked him to move it to Thursday (after the candidate filing deadline so that some members would not be on the record voting for a 2nd Amendment bill and risk have papers pulled in more Liberal districts.)  He agreed on the stipulation that HB 2524 get to the floor in both chambers, the Senate reneged after he kept up his end of the bargain.

Watching the Senate Judiciary proves that Gardenhire, Lundburg, Steven and Bell are simply hacks for the Governor.  (Remember Bell is the one who took knives our of the list of deadly weapons in 2014, you can carry them now under his Senate Bill 1771).

A Conservative State for the most part and we still have to worry about the ever-increasing Rino's-

Add to this the assembly is wanting to change the law for residency requirements so that it occludes people whom Trump has approved of to favor the RINO, Beth Harwell, to run. It seems that the RINOs rule the roost. I will remember Lee's move, but it's not like he's getting primaried to even care.

[Worriedman]

I am old, and do not have that many years left to stay at this, and I am failing at getting my grandchildren well situated, The RINOs are winning.

I think the current legislative session has been too overly obsessed with reactionary, puritanical social control measures to worry about gun rights.
