Mike McWherter at Nashville TFA Meeting 9/20/10

[Worriedman]

I am new to all this camera and You Tube stuff, so yes, I know the audio is pretty low, but if you have external speakers, you can get it up where you can hear it. I will use a different mic next time.

First question is about Restaurant Carry Bill.

Next is relating to Tennessee firearms Freedom Act.

I will cut the rest of the meeting up and post as time allows, You tube only lets you load 10 minutes at the time, and his stump speech is the majority of the deal, but to be fair, I will post it all.

These are the important ones, and as we got into the firearms issues, he ran short of time. Again, to be fair, he said at the outset he had to leave to go to Chattanooga, and could only stay around 30 minutes.

On the first video, I wish I could hear/see what was said just before.

Yeah, he did seem like he was trying to leave all the way through.

The licensing of free speech is not a valid comparison, if you want "shall not be infringed..."

Libel, slander, censored lyrics, Licensing of Radio and Television, censored speech on TV (the curse words which cannot be said on TV, or Radio) censorship of obscenity (I know it when I see it...) nudity (whether or not "porn" related) flag burning, falsely shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater, all point to limits on the 1st Amendment.

To compare the First and Second in this area is an argument for gun control... So, IMHO, I suggest to not use this comparison...

(FYI: All computers, typewriters, internet connections, and printers have known "serial" numbers. Most, if not all paper has watermarks making it traceable...and most printers (especially those which print in color) print markings in their printing. One reason is to prevent money forging.)

Back to McWherter. Is it me or did he seem ill prepared? Not knowing specific gun law code was unwise going into a pro-gun meeting...

I bet Haslam will be more dodging in his answers. He seems to be far more slick than McWherter.

Interesting that McWherter was more for the last law than the present restaurant carry law. And it is a interesting point the initial ruling was never appealed. Considering the basis for the ruling, it may have been overturned. (I like the present law more...)

The question just prior was about small farms and State regulation of sale of "unprocessed" products such as milk and meat.

You will notice that the question about The Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act was a repeat of our meeting in Jackson, he did not know what it was about in February, and has not taken the opportunity to invest himself with any knowledge relative to that issue in the ensuing period. In Jackson, he opined as to how the BATFE had already declared it unconstitutional.

On a separate note, if any members know of a way to post the entire meeting to the web, I would be grateful. YouTube limits playback to 10 minutes, I would love to post the whole thing at once so as to not limit his inflection and sequence of the issues.

I'm sorry, using Pacman Jones and his thug crew as an example of why HCP holders should not be able to carry in alcohol serving establishments is personally insulting to me. No thanks Mike.

I agree 100%. Using criminal behavior to justify the ban of weapons carried by LAW-ABIDING citizens is nothing short of idiotic. He even made the ignorant statement that he thought Jones' companion who had the weapon had a carry permit. He THINKS? God, this guy is such a LOSER!!!

Neither McWherter NOR Haslam is worthy of my vote!

[Guest HvyMtl]

Hmm. Yeah, that was foolish of McWherter to be unprepared when the question about that specific law could possibly pop back up, considering it was the same group who asked the question last time, and he was unclear/familiar with it then. Poor preparation.

After thinking, about what was said, it seems he backed away from a previous position on the Restaurant Carry Law. Previously, he backed what Bredesen said. In this meeting, he backed the law which was struck down by the Court. Something that needs to be pointed out and asked on.

When is your Haslam meeting? Wonder if he will be as prepared as McW was...

I doubt Haslam will be unprepared. He talks a good game, but when it comes vote time he is cut from the same cloth as Bredesen and McWherter.

October 18th.

I will be better prepared as well, with a much better mic set up. I wish I had been ready with my camera in Jackson, (kids got it for me for Fathers Day) McWherter really stated his contempt for the 2nd Amendment when he opined his support for gun registration. I am just sorry he left before I could re-ask that question as well the other night in Nashville.

Personally, I think McWherter could give a rat's hinney about the Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act. He appears to be all for the Federal Government controlling most everything. He gives lip service to the 10th Amendment, but his view of specifics leads me to believe that he is not in favor of strong States having a say in much of anything.

I don't want to vote for either of these morons.

[Guest Usagi]

After seeing this, I am certain I'll vote Brandon Dodds for Governor.
