Dear friend,<\/p>\n
Sadly, I have bad news. However, there is something you can do about it.<\/p>\n
Reports out of Nashville indicate that all gun bills, including pro-gun, GOA-backed bills like H 1005 and SB 1503, will not be considered in the legislature.<\/p>\n
This means that the Tennessee legislature will do nothing for your gun rights this legislative session.<\/p>\n
While gun owners mourn over the tragedy at the Covenant School, we know that restoring the right of self-defense will deter and prevent crazed killers from doing their evil deeds.<\/p>\n
Instead of moving to repeal gun-free zones and arm willing teachers (or even simply pass pro-gun bills H 1005 and SB 1503), the alleged \u201cpro-gun\u201d leaders in Nashville do not have the courage to protect your rights.<\/p>\n
However, in Tennessee\u2019s neighbor — and the significantly more politically \u201cpurple\u201d — North Carolina, the state House of Representatives moved to override the anti-gun Governor\u2019s veto to pass a large pro-gun bill the day after the Covenant School shooting.<\/p>\n
If the purple state of North Carolina can move to pass pro-gun legislation literally the day after a tragedy, why can\u2019t the red state of Tennessee continue to pass pro-gun bills?<\/p>\n
Your elected officials need to hear from you.<\/p>\n
Please urge your state legislators to find the courage and remember their Constitutional Oaths; please urge them to still take up pro-gun bills, like H 1005 and SB 1503.<\/p>\n
In Liberty,<\/p>\n
