Tennessee seceded once. Will it do so twice?

Yep, just remember folks the tenth ammendment and the rest of the constitution is all fiction now. How’s that hope and changey thing working for us again?

Federal Law oversees State Law whether we like it or not

This was expected. Next comes a test case for the USSC to overturn that earlier ruling Glenn Beck was always talking about.

There’s a states rights list around here somewhere. Those folks need a ping.

And where does fedgov claim authority to regulate guns? The Commerce Clause!

Not so fast.

Arizona permitted carry was not nixed by the feds.

ATF may be over reaching here.

This ought to become quite interesting.

The DEA treated California the same way over medical pot at first. It just depends on how serious the state government is about it. State and local police outnumber the feds a thousand to one; and I don’t see Washington sending in troops.

I don't know about y'all but I think the well Armed Volunteers of Tennessee have the ATF outnumbered.

Federal Laws on guns are meaningless if they can’t make a case that it either affects Interstate Commerce or “Domestic Tranquility”.

If they don’t the Federal Government can’t do diddly about it.

The best they can do in TN’s case is to prohibit the sale or transport of these firearms outside of federal regulations beyond TN state lines.

Federal law is trumps when there is a conflict. That is reverse of what the Constitution says but that unfortunately is how the courts have created a new constitution.

What happened with that Montana gun-law experiment?

Montana was going to pass a law that if the gun was manufactured in the state (no interstate commerce) and purchased in the state, NONE of the federal laws apply.

Anyone know what happened with that idea?

I’d like to see the county sheriffs in TN pull a Richard Mack and not let the feds have jurisdiction.

We need to get this before the USSC before another old fart dies or quits!

“Just in case you believe in that ‘states rights’ thingy.”

Uh, just in case you don’t, please watch how this one plays out, and then get back to us.

Heck, I’m just downright shocked that our state politicians had the balls to vote ‘yea’ on this one!
