March 10, 2020 was the 2nd Amendment Rally at the Tennessee Legislature
which was a joint endeavor by the Gun Owners of America, National
Association for Gun Rights and Tennessee Firearms Association. It was a
great success! We were particularly pleased that
House Speaker Cameron Sexton recognized the Rally and was its first speaker.
The
Rally had as its focus encouraging grassroots activists and the
representatives from these three organizations to meet with individual
legislators to discuss the desired and necessary improvements to the
permitless carry legislation that the Governor introduced as an
“administration bill”, the opposition to Red Flag legislation, the
elimination of gun free zones. Quite simply, the mission was to impress
on individual legislators that the voters are serious in their desires
that their rights, as identified and protected by the 2nd Amendment, be
relieved of any and all infringements that currently exist in local,
state and federal laws.
We are also glad to report that many of
the Legislators agreed that these changes were important and should be
taken into consideration as the bills are discussed.
Please see the full report in TFA's
News Post for March 13, 2020.
