TENNESSEE FIREARMS ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES “RED
FLAG DOWN”
CAMPAIGN AHEAD OF SPECIAL SESSION ON GUN CONTROL
(Nashville, TN) – Today, the Tennessee Firearms Association
(TFA) and the Tennessee Firearms Association Legislative Action Committee (TFALAC) jointly announced a well-funded initiative to defeat the proposed Red Flag Laws
under consideration in the upcoming Tennessee Legislative Special Session. The “Red Flag Down”
campaign will highlight recent
polling that reveals 84% of
Tennessee voters believe separating dangerous people from potential victims by
removing them from the community– not separating individuals from firearms– is
the best way to keep a community safe.
“To prevent school shootings and crime throughout our state,
Tennessee voters want to remove dangerous, violent people - not Red Flag Laws
that confiscate guns but keep threatening individuals in the community,” said
John Harris, Executive Director of TFA. “Clearly, this Special Session and the
legislation under consideration is contrary to common sense and the will of the
people. Through the Red Flag Down campaign, we will give citizens a voice and
ensure it is heard loud and clear at the State Capitol.”
#RedFlagDown will officially launch next week with a three-week
advertising campaign.
