My email to Governor Phil Bredesen

[dunndw]

I got the same form letterL

Here's MY response. I no where NEAR as nice as Nikki..or cute so I guess it's OK.

Your veto of this bill was extremely disappointing. The fallacy of the anti gunner's argument, that even you state yourself is "guns and alcohol don't mix". This is 100% true, such as cars and alcohol don't mix. However this argument falls outside the "common sense' boundary. The proposed law state in plain English that the permit holder is forbidden from drinking while in possession of their handgun. You and the cadre of liberal like minded politically motivated police officials behind you at your veto ceremony seem to think that everyone with a permit will jump up and put their freedom, their permit holder status and their expensive firearm in jeopardy of being taken away just for a drink. This simply is not true. You claim to be “pro gun” however your actions, and the ability to surround yourself with known anti 2nd amendment officials while you could not notify the people of this state, nor the peoples Representatives and Senators that you intended to veto this bill speaks much louder Mr. Bredesen. Law abiding permit holders will NOT be drunk in bars waving guns around. The people who will break this law are breaking the current one. Why don’t you push legislation through that prohibits anyone from possessing car keys from having ANY alcohol in their system while in possession of said car keys. This is the same prohibition placed on permit holders, and I agree with it. Being in mere possession of a handgun in a establishment that serves alcohol is about as dangerous as walking past the beer cooler in Kroger while legally armed. How many random shootings have happened there?

Your veto of this bill proves that your dedication to the political left is much more important than your duty to the people as governor of Tennessee, and to your so called support of our right to keep and bear arms.

Nice. The guy just gives a CANNED response to everyone. You would think he could mix it up a little and have at least 4-5 different canned responses huh......

I have no problem with the can replys - think how much hate mail this guy is getting, he can't possibly respond to even 1% of it. I think he is scum if he doesnt personally reply to someone like Ms Goeser however.

As for the veto, I would really not have a problem with it if he did it based on his core beliefs. Unfortunately I think it is obvious that he did it to garner future political gain from the current anti-2A administration. Typical politician...

I just sent him another email.

Did not even bother putting anything in the body of it.

I put "HB 0969, UP YOURS!" in the subject line.

I did sign my name in the email though.

Not like anyone will read it anyway, I got no response to my original email that was a little more nicely worded.

Funny, my Senator replied to my message asking him to support the override. It might have been a cut-and-paste job but it was an actual reply to my original message, had my original text quoted in it and all...

I'm assuming he is a busy man also. He took the time and effort to respond. Plus, he is going to support the override!

I will remember his efforts come election time.

Nikki thanks for all you have done. My family's heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you may you stay strong in your uphill battle.

As far as the cloned responce we all recieved in regard to our e-mails I have one question does anyone besides me feel like we were just told we were not using common sense?????
