You're right. I had copied the post from these folks that posted it wrong:

 

Look down their page for "HB47"

Rep. Mike Stewart is a complete idiot and has no comprehension of the US Constitution. Guess he must

not need it in Nashville. He has no clue about what makes a law lawful.

Maybe I am over simplifying, but it seems to me that the "nays" are failing to digest the fact that while our federal government is supposed to represent the greater will of our country, the concentration of our will as Tennesseans on a national level pales in comparison to the concentration of our will within our own state. Our representation at the federal level has many strings pulling them in many directions, of course our local representation does as well.....but it just seems to me that our state government should realize that if they were to truly take stock in the will of the people who elected them and be real honest, it's pretty clear that the majority of TN constituents support 2A and would support taking our own measures in protecting those rights whether the federal government is willing to or not. Not only are we saying that our state demands our liberties, but we are also telling the country that our state is the place to be if you believe in securing your liberties. Our state should be very attractive to industry that depends on the health of the 2A. We should be putting major efforts into recruiting 2A dependent industry to our state. We secure our rights and we build our economy.

I realize this is a bit of a ramble, but hopefully it makes some since.
