Pro-Gun Bill Heads to Governor's Desk!

Please Contact the Governor Today!

On Wednesday, February 17, the Tennessee Senate unanimously passed House Bill 2376. The bill now heads to the desk of Governor Phil Bredesen (D) for his consideration.

Sponsored by State Representative David Shepard (D-69) and State Senator Doug Jackson (D-25), HB2376 would prohibit the destruction of confiscated firearms and require them to be auctioned off or sold to a federally licensed firearms dealer. Proceeds from the sale of these firearms are to be used for the benefit of law enforcement agencies.

HB2376 passed the House last June during the 2009 session and was carried over into 2010. SB2334, sponsored by State Senator Doug Jackson (D-25) was the companion bill to HB 2376.

Please contact Governor Bredesen today and respectfully urge him to sign HB2376 into law. The Governor can be reached by phone at 615-741-2001 or email Phil.Bredesen@tn.gov.

Surely Silly Phil wont put us thru another veto override.

But if he does......that we shall....

I would like to pridefully point out that both of these legislators are from Dickson.

They are both great guys whom I know very well.

And they are Democrats...you know...the 'good' kind!

got to do this tomorrow, sell the guns to law abiding citizens and get funds to help LEO agencies, that is a easy double win!

[Guest uofmeet]

I sent one.

Sent mine...

Said LE sells other confiscated items, why not firearms? No reason to destroy them just because they are firearms.

[TNRobocop]

Hopefully this will stop Metro from destroying them.

They have destroyed a TON of nice guns, including a buttload of AR's last year a friend of mine at Metro told me about.

They even destroyed the sights and lights and other accessories that were on them.

Wildlife Resources already sells confiscated firearms at public auction. They also sell bows and the auctions are listed publicly but only FFL license holders are allowed to bid. www.asset-auctions.com Not seen any sales in a few months. I've also seen confiscated liquor, beer, and cigarettes auctioned. IIRC, to purchase the liquor you had to have a liquor license.

Bill was signed into law!!

How do you get info on the auctions
