I just wanted to leave this here to point out that even in Tennessee, one of the safest states for gun rights, Democraps try to push for gun control. Of course, this is in Tennessee so their bill didn't even make it out of their committee. In California these types of bills were passed long ago with no resistance.

However, once again notice all the people pushing for these gun control laws have a big fat (D) after their names. Today they have no chance of passing in a place like TN. However, they're going to keep trying, year after year. One day in the future, if the demographics of TN begin to shift the way Colorado's did, then their anti-gun bills are going to start getting through.

The point is all pro-gun people, even those living in "free states", need to remain vigilant. Even in those states, the work of the NRA is never done, because our anti-gun enemies never sleep and never give up.

Reagan is dead. This is un possible.

[press1280]

Nothing unusual here, both sides do it. There are shall issue bills filed in anti gun states all the time. They'll always meet the inside of the desk drawer.

[Rodell]

The reality is being anti is more politically correct in these former safe havens. Montana, Tennessee, even Idaho are all seeing the early stages of the scourge that affected CA and NY.

Good. Get them all on the record for their next election.

This is why, legislatively, the pro-2A community must always remain on the offensive. That's how we got "The Deal" in Virginia where we will now recognize *ALL* other states' permits. We've been trying to get that for 7 years now, and the McAwful Administration got gun owners riled up. We took the offensive.

Result: net win for the 2A.

There are some other good pro-liberty bills on Gov. McAwful's desk. Let's see if he signs 'em after getting his hat handed to him re: The Deal. Let's hope he's been sufficiently chastized to get the message.

Again, The Deal happened because We, The People got off our butts and did something about it. That's where the real power is, folks. The power brokers don't want you to remember that.

But do remember that when you go vote in the California Republican Primary this year.

What kinda bills? I want to feel envious.

Here you go. Copy 'n' pasted from the VCDL's latest "VA-ALERT" on the subject.

• HB 1096, Delegate Webert, state-agency firearms preemption bill
• HB 1234, Delegate Lingmafelter, allows school security officers to carry a gun
• HB 206, Delegate Webert, removes requirement for a 2nd form of ID when purchasing a gun
• HB 382, Delegate Fowler, allows state-agency employees to store firearms in their private vehicles while at work
• HB 560, Delegate Lingamfelter, improvement to brandishing law
• HB 766, Delegate Gilbert, makes a protection order a temporary CHP
• HB 810, Delegate Lingamfelter, removes requirement to show citizenship when purchasing an “assault firearm”
• SB 626, Senator Vogel, makes a protection order a temporary CHP

Note that even some Democrats voted to pass these bills. Surprising, but true. I'm guessing that the ramifications of The Deal changed some legislative minds for the better.

All of these are now sitting on the Governor's desk. He can either sign them, veto them, or not take any action (that last one means it becomes law). We expect gubernatorial vetoes on most of these, and possibly all. McAwful's "customers" are primarily the Clintons, with Bloom-boy a reasonably close second. But we shall see.

I've been following some of your recent victories in Virginia, it's amazing what a little old protesting pressure puts on the anti legislatures and the governor. When we get a new law here nobody raises a peep except on this forum. We need a coordinated effort of statewide protests over these oppressive and arbitrary gun laws that have been passed without impunity for last ten years.

Your pro 2a group is a model for what we should be doing here in California, thanks for joining us on this forum.

That TN legislator says:

"Right now we put our legitimate gun dealers at a significant disadvantage,”

So the point he is trying to make is that "legitimate" dealers are missing out on the potential business of gang bangers and other criminals? Must not be too bright.

The dems fanaticism about gun control ia almost epidemic.
It seems to be a nonstop obsessive compulsive behavior.
Is there any other cause that a dem politician pursues with such fervor?
How do they get re-elected over and over?
Seems they belong in a mental institution. ....

[not-fishing]

Pushing Anti-Gun Bills are part of their Religion.

It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to their Anti-Gun Religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them as a way to explain their frustrations.

Of course Progressives have to "Save" us all. even if it means taking away Civil Rights and killing you with "re-education" -- kind of like Chairman Mao

So, what this Stewart fellow did was engage in a standard private face-to-face transaction within his own state, according to the law. I know it was in his own state, because if it wasn't, he would have just admitted to the commission of a felony and should be in jail right now. So, it had to be in Tennessee, with another Tennessee resident.

Oh, but TERRORISM! DRUG CARTELS!

Also, note how the article talks about "the military-style weapon". That's biased language right there, since all guns are by definition military style; it's a standard semi-automatic rifle.

Also notice Stewart's claim of how “I’m basically as well armed as when I was a soldier in the military”. First, if he really was a soldier, then no, he's not that well armed. In the Army (he did say "soldier"), he would've been issued an actual assault rifle, a selective-fire or fully-automatic M-16 or M4 Carbine. What he bought was not that, but rather semi-automatic. So, as the antis often do, he's lying through his teeth. Some "soldier" he is, after all, eh?

To borrow from this Stewart fellow, he wants to put "legitimate Tennessee residents at a significant disadvantage."

Remember that bit about us, the pro-2A community needing to be on the legislative offensive? Tennessee's doing that. According to the article, a bill has been passed to allow full-time state college/university employees to legally carry on campus. A university police chief opposes anybody but his "highly trained police officers" carrying. Classic case of "I want to be able to physically dominate you without you being able to defend yourself" syndrome. I'm sure the Governor will veto it. So, let's hope this, too, passes by a veto-proof majority.

Whats more amazing is that D's are getting elected in those states at all. Pushing bills like that should ensure they don't get re-elected.
