A big day for Tennessee gun bills

More from R. Neal:

State Sen. Jimmy Kyle (D-Wartburg) got an amendment to the “guns in parks and public places” bill to also allow guns in the State Capitol building, including the House and Senate chambers and the Legislative Plaza, where guns are currently prohibited.

Sounds reasonable to me. After all, CCW promoters keep telling us they are the safest, most law-abiding people in the whole state of Tennessee. If families in state parks would be safer with CCW guns around, so would our elected officials, right? What’s the big deal?

Apparently it’s a big deal to the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Tim Burchett (R-Knoxville). He withdrew his bill rather than allow it to pass with the amendment.

    Well, tell ’em that even out here in Blue State WA, us paranoid rednecks citizens who have CPLs are allowed to carry on state capitol grounds. Caused a minor stir a couple years ago when one of the Seattle TV stations found out about it, but nothing happened.

    And nobody’s been shot there yet.

    Seems you need to replace Burchett. He can’t be trusted if he is that distrustful of the citizen.

  3. straightarrow Says:

    It shows he considers himself above and apart from them. Dump him, start a recall.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
