Gun Control?

On February 14, 2018 another tragedy took place at the hand of a psychopath with a gun. 14 students, on the cusp of life, and 3 teachers were brutally gunned down at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in Landmark, FL, during school hours. Before the funerals could even take place, insensitive idiots on both sides of the gun control debate began running their mouths. Gun control is obviously a touchy and complicated issue; hence the reason that it has not been solved yet.

Tuesday one of the bills I have been keeping tabs on came before the Senate Judiciary Committee. SB1736 sponsored by Senator Gresham as introduced, establishes that if a person or entity posts to prohibit the possession of firearms on the property, the posting entity, for purposes of liability, assumes custodial responsibility for the safety and defense of any handgun carry permit holder harmed while on the posted property. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13.

January 2016 saw the Tennessee Legislature convene with many bills introduced that related to guns and gun rights. Some good, some bad. Union County residents may feel distant from the Legislature in Nashville, but bills that become law affect all Tennesseans. One bill that, if passed and signed into law, would greatly restore the Second Amendment is SENATE BILL 1483/HOUSE BILL 1748, the Constitutional Carry Bill, by Green and Matheny. With a watchful eye toward what may happen in Nashville, now is a good time to review some of the laws that were in effect through 2015.
