Rep. Casada's Response (Williamson County) to HB0010

[Hozzie]

I received a response from Rep. Casada in regards to supporting the new House Bill stating no TN funding would be used to enforce any ban.  My response is attached.  We need to make sure they remove the statement that they can use TN resources as long the Federal Govt. pays for it.  Anyone from Williamson County, please contact him as well.

Rep. Casada.

 

Thank you for your response.  I would like point out that I do not agree with nor support the following statement in the bill outline, "allows the allocation of state or local personnel or property to such regulation or enforcement if federal funding is provided.".  

 

I hope you will work to remove this statement from the bill.  This statement alone does not protect our 2nd amendment rights, but rather says it is ok for the Federal Government to limit our rights so long as they pay for it.  I find this insulting to anyone who reads this that really thinks TN is somehow really standing up for its citizens.  I and many other people will be watching this closely. I hope you and my other representatives make the right choice.

 

Thank you,
Jamie

I strongly urge you not to support any clause that would allow the Federal Government to limit my rights as provided in the Constitution. I would recommend you review similar bills being considered in states like Wyoming and Texas that would make it a crime for Federal officials to try and enforce a potential executive order, bypassing all due process for every American. This crime would be punishable by time in jail as well as punitive punishments.
