Governor Bill Lee has
proposed
an unconstitutional RED FLAG law. Most would have never expected such from any Republican elected official but he has clearly called for a RED FLAG law.
When the Tennessee Legislature adjourned
without voting on his proposal, he announced that he is calling a
special legislative session to force the Legislature to consider his RED
FLAG law. But, there are other proposals including one that bases the
RED FLAG law on whether individuals are taking certain
prescription drugs.
Bill Lee's proposal is wrong. If the person is such a mental health risk to himself or the public that suicide or homicide is likely, then the person should be evaluated and treated by inpatient experts. It is foolishness to just go, as Bill Lee demands, and seize the person's guns but leave them at large and with access to all kinds of other means of harm.
What
is clear is that Governor Bill Lee’s proposal and any other RED FLAG
proposals are a real and tangible threat to your Second Amendment
rights. We urgently need your help to show Governor Bill
Lee and the Legislature that Tennesseans do not want or need an unconstitutional, knee jerk RED FLAG
law. We have a short time to spread the word through all available
means of advertising, social media, podcasts, videocasts and interivews
in order to reach the voters. We need the voters to put pressure on the
Legislators.
We need your help to achieve these goals.Please take action now and help the TFALAC (a state political action committee) raise funds for radio spots, social media campaigns, and other "get out the word" measures to stop Bill Lee's insistence that the state of Tennessee should be taking guns away from lawful gun owners in violation of the Constitution.
