This guy has it right.  Actually a good video for anyone wanting to debate restrictions on magazines.

Rove is finally getting his favorite kind of RINO in the race anyway. Number III, Jeb. :D

Well, Tennessee is falling right into line with the Establishment, just passed giving illegal's children in-state tuition in the Senate, strangled in the Senate the anti-common core legislation the House passed, killing the run to do away with the Hall Tax, I would say that TN is marching lock step with Rove/Bush et al...

Nasty politics NJ style the Democratic NJ house and senate passing crazy veto-sure bills to force a Republican governor to veto them.......all about making political hay, not about reality. Every one of these state reps and senators have violated their oaths of office and should be removed.....business as usual.....can you say term limits, boys and girls?

Term limits won’t fix anything. All you will have is more politicians with nothing to lose being cycled through at a faster rate. We get to vote for who we want and if they do their job we get to keep them in office.

While I agree with you on the problems with RINO's in charge of the legislature...  Try passing an anti-firearm bill through the legislature right now...  It won't happen.  Many don't see the need to change the status quo in either direction.

 

Pfiffle, you act like Republicans have a desire to further or protect anything firearms.  We have a Super Majority in TN, and we can't even get a single decent firearms law on the floor for debate.

Who are these Republicans you speak of, not the legislators in TN, or evidently the base, as they keep sending the same weak-kneed yes men up there, oh, and if they for some reason happen to stumble on the correct vote say on setting common core back a bit, leadership will reach in and bitch slap them back into line.

Well as we have no real pro firearms laws either, I am not too impressed.  The status quo has you as a criminal when you step outside your personal property with a loaded firearm, and that is just your brick and mortar.

There isn't any one or any easy fix to the problems we have with our governments at all levels but term limits could well be one arrow in a quiver of arrows that could work to set things right.

 

Right now, politics is a viable career path for people, not unlike being a CPA, a firefighter, or any other profession - in my humble opinion, our ancestors never intended it to be that way. Rather, they envisioned successful people truly sacrificing their own lives for a period to serve; I truly don't think Madison or Jefferson ever thought people would want to do it "full-time".

 

So, term limits could change that reality.

 

If people knew up front that they would have only a specific number of potential years in office it might alter the perception of politics as a career which could lead to "leaders" stepping up who have what is often referred to as a "servant's heart"...leading by serving...sacrificing part of their lives for the benefit of their country.

 

At the very least, it might be worth trying at the federal level.

Yuup...the sad part is that, as I read the TN constitution; the problem is not so much with the constitution (although the language could use significant improvement) but rather, how we have allowed the legislature to apply their "understanding" to the firearm related laws they pass.

 

If the firearm laws they passed really were done "with a view to prevent crime"; most of the laws we have that restrict where/when we can be armed would not exist or would at least be more favorable to the citizen wishing to enjoy his God given right to be armed.
