TN Meat and Potatoes Gun Reforms

[Sidinman]

I saw it first on here, some have it in their signature.

Something like Lifetime member NRA, TFA, & GOA.

TFA was fairly effective till the Republicans got their heavy majority (while it was nip and tuck, the Republicans used the TFA like a club to beat the Democrats), there are numerous Joint House/Senate Resolutions describing how helpful the TFA had been.  When the Republicans took over, I can remember Maggart looking at me, telling me her only job was to build Republican Power, asking who I was going to vote for, saying that I had nowhere to go but to the Republicans.  TFA was dead off in the middle of the LEGISLATIVE effort on Restaurants, but that was back when there were some who were willing to work with us, (Democrats included, Sen. Jackson was our best help actually) the current Masters are so Liberal and anti-gun that I am not sure anything can be done.  If they would let the pro-gun initiatives come to the floor they would pass every time, but the present Leadership learned too well from Naifeh, three individuals can control the State and do as they will, until a big enough crowd is standing on Capitol Hill, ala Income Tax and then it is a different thing.

 

One must remember that Rep. McDaniel, who is Speaker Harwell's appointed right hand henchman was one of the original Naifeh 8, and was all over trying to get an income tax established in TN, and our revered Speaker was quoted in the Tennessean, 2/8/02 as saying: “I have always tried to stay flexible enough that if [an income tax] has support, then I certainly would be able to support it.”

 

I get a count of the contacts made to legislators on the various issues, and have come to the conclusion that the average gun owner needs to step up.  I have known that politicians want us void of arms, it fits their power seeking lifestyle much better, as armed people are Citizens and those who are unarmed are serfs.

 

I work for results, not accolades.

Ya I know about the Tennessee Firearms Freedom act, the feds said they won't uphold this.

What he is pointing out is that it is not up to the feds to uphold anything. Law is law and appears to be explained quite well.

Yeh, I know the ATF sent out that threatening letter, which is that barrel of a gun I mentioned in another thread.

Why don't we all join TFA?  That would put the numbers up to 20000 members and would be a good start.
