Swearing in Day at the General Assembly

[Worriedman]

Today our elected employees of the General Assembly will gather and raise their hands before God (for those who profess a belief in one) and their fellow citizens to take an oath or affirmation to support the Constitution of this state, and of the United States and also the following oath: I______ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that as a member of this General Assembly, I will, in all appointments, vote without favor, affection, partiality, or prejudice; and that I will not propose or assent to any bill, vote or resolution, which shall appear to me injurious to the people, or consent to any act or thing, whatever, that shall have a tendency to lessen or abridge their rights and privileges, as declared by the Constitution of this state.

Will we allow them to fail in that duty to protect our 2nd Amendment rights like the people of Tennessee have since 1801, or will we, under the recent ruling of Bruen, demand that these taxpayer paid servants own up to their responsibility?

If a law denying unfettered ability to carry a firearm, open or concealed in public in case of confrontation was not on the books, part of the public understanding at the time of the ratification of our Constitution, it is void and without force.

Society's ills can not be cured by government via the taking away of a constitutional and civil right, and the SCOTUS incorporated the 2nd Amendment against the states in 2010, making it a civil right in the process.  We must inform our elected employees from the Governor to the Department of Safety and all legislators, the Article 1 Section 26 that was redone in 1871 being made moot, they have no power to deny a non-criminal the right to keep, bear and wear firearms in Tennessee.
