The local news ran a piece saying Gov. Haslam and Ron Ramsey opposed the bill. But Stacey Campfield says it’s not true and that, at least, Ramsey does support the bill.

The KNS: Gov. Bill Haslam and Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey are working against a bill to allow faculty and staff to carry guns on the campuses of Tennessee’s public universities. But the two Republicans have arrived at that position for different reasons. Haslam says he wants to leave it up to administrators at each school […]

NRA notes Haslam signed the bill that was only written to deal with stupid people: On March 31, Governor Bill Haslam signed Senate Bill 519 into law. SB 519, which took immediate effect, recognizes that any employer permitting a person to legally carry a firearm on the employer’s property does not constitute an “occupational safety […]

Bill Haslam’s rocking start and he signs an executive order that eliminates a requirement for the governor and top aides to disclose how much they earn. Bill was a little upset at the press and the lefties (but I repeat myself) digging into his earnings during the campaign. It’s not as bad as it sounds […]

They note that Bill Haslam is coming down on the side of civil rights and are none too happy about it. I’m sure they’ll just mobilize their Tennessee legislative office, get some of their lobbyists down to the capitol, and mobilize their grassroots support. Oh, wait.

It’s funny to watch the race unfold. Unnamed Democrat doesn’t really seem to have his heart in the game. Or his head. Before, he was bashing Haslam for being a member of the gun control group Mayors Against Guns. Now, he says that Haslam is an extremist stooge of the NRA. Well, which is it? […]

Unnamed Democrat call Haslam irresponsible for valuing constitutional rights. And Unnamed Democrat would like to remind you that Unnamed Democrat is a member of of the NRA and a hunter.

Stacey Campfield: Bill Haslam has made a bold statement for gun owner rights by saying he would sign legislation similar to the Arizona legislation if brought to his desk. I had drafted this legislation last year but my Democrat senate sponsor decided he did not want to run it at the last second.

Unnamed Democrat chimes in: While I am a strong supporter of second amendment rights, I am shocked at Bill Haslam’s lack of common sense and total disregard for public safety. This is irresponsible” said McWherter. “Bill Haslam is willing to put the safety of Tennessee families in jeopardy, and this speaks to the core of […]

He lost his case. Seems that marking up the NFA forms is considered executing them. And he asks Haslam about gun permits.

The NRA has given Bill Haslam a B- and unnamed Democrat a C-. NRA is not endorsing either candidate.

Here’s the website. Haslam gets a B-?

It appears that gubernatorial candidates Bill Haslam and unnamed Democrat will be attending the Tennessee Firearms Association Nashville Meetings: We have scheduled Mike McWherter for Monday, September 20, 2010 We have scheduled Bill Haslam for Monday, October 18, 2010 Please keep in mind that these meetings are primarily to have an open discussion with these […]

Haslam and the other guy are looking to get support from gun owners. Haslam joined the NRA after some one pointed out he was the member of an anti-gun group. Even Unnamed Democrat joins in on calling Haslam weak on gun rights. John Harris of TFA says they probably won’t endorse anyone. And for about […]

Bill Haslam wins Republican gubernatorial primary. To face off against some Democrat no one has heard of. Every election, someone tries to unseat Stacey Campfield in the primary and there’s quite a bit of news coverage of it. But they always fail. In The City (My The City), the good ol’ boy network continues its […]

Liston endorses Ramsey. Ron Ramsey responded to his gun rights questionnaire here. The Haslam campaign answers without specifics. Why, it’s like there might be something to this parody ad? Just look at that sunset.

There apparently is a democrat running in this race. The general consensus from Tennessee Democrats: This crap sandwich is delicious. With a hint of take your castor oil from the local democrat shills. As for me, I don’t care for any of them. Haslam is a phony conservative. He’s on the Corker express good ol’ […]

Someone did a few parody ads making fun of Bill Haslam for his lack of experience and lack of discussing the issues. They were pretty darn funny and, well, good. Haslam had them pulled from youtube citing no sense of humor err copyright infringement. You can still see the ad on issues here and the […]

In Tennessee, we’re gonna get a new one soon. Gun rights were made an issue in the race because some cracker pointed out that a man who would eventually run for governor (Bill Haslam) had joined the anti-gun Mayors Against Illegal Guns group. At first he ignored the issue then, in an attempt to score […]

The Zach Wamp for governor campaign emails: “I applaud the Supreme Court today for strongly upholding our Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. Some folks, like Mayor Bill Haslam of Knoxville and Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City, tried to limit or take away this constitutional right. The Supreme Court made clear […]

Picking on Haslam because he’s got money.

A look at TN gubernatorial candidates on guns: All seven major candidates express support for Second Amendment rights but differ sharply on guns in bars and other issues. Three Republicans – Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam, Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey of Blountville and U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp of Chattanooga – said they support renewing the guns-in-bars […]

ACK tells us that Bloomberg sent investigators to gun shows in Nashville to illegally buy guns. The AP report is here: Investigators hired by New York City conducted stings at gun shows in states that have not closed the “gun show loophole” and found some vendors openly selling weapons to buyers who admitted they couldn’t […]

At least, that’s how I read this.

They either support gun control or support gun control. Cammack even says we crazy gun nuts need to stop being all gun nutty because we’re making people nervous. Well, outside the lefty blogs who get twitchy over anything gun related, I haven’t noticed a lot of nervousness. Meanwhile, though not a Democrat, Haslam releases a […]

Knoxville banned the law-abiding from going armed in their parks. And that ban will stand. Now, only criminals will be armed there. No surprise there. But this is a bit interesting: Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam, who’s seeking the Republican nomination for governor, didn’t vote but gave the vote his support, saying the intersection of greenways […]

The Rep: Today, September 3 at 5:00 p.m., the Knoxville City Council will consider an ordinance that, if passed would remove a long-time ban on the possession of firearms within city parks. The meeting will be held at the City County Building located at 400 Main St. in Knoxville. You can also contact your city […]

The guns in parks issue was said to be resolved since Knoxville had an old law on the books banning possession in parks. Steve Hall has proposed an ordinance repealing the ban and the meeting is scheduled for tonight. This could be an interesting meeting as Stacey Campfield reports that Mayor Bill Haslam plans on […]

Apparently, Haslam dodged the question about whether or not he supported a ban on lawful carry of firearms in parks. Via Knoxviews.com, who seems to think marginalizing a minority is OK.

ACK notes there’s some question as to whether an email actually came from Bill Haslam’s blackberry. It’s not unheard of. Zach Wamp actually emailed me once from his blackberry. He then responded quickly to me and also asked that I not give out his personal email address.
