Gov. Lee’s Signature Makes Tennessee a Second Amendment Sanctuary

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed a bill Wednesday that makes the state a Second Amendment sanctuary. 

Senate Bill 1335 prevents any “law, treaty, executive order, rule, or regulation of the United States government” that violates the Tennessee Constitution or the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution from being enforced in the state.

A nice gesture but we'll see how it rolls when the rubber meets the road.

    Better than a sharp stick in the eye. My place has always been Second Amendment sanctuary.

    There are (the last time I checked) 42 Second Amendment Sanctuary states. If nothing else, it's a warning to politicians that try to subvert the Second Amendment.

    Gestures are important at the moment. Like new hatchlings learning to have a spine. Spurs come later.

    This is all well & good, but they don’t need to ban firearms to disarm us. All they need to do is ban the manufacture, sale, transportation, or possession of primers, casings, powder or projectiles. That effectively eliminates any supply of ammo and renders your tricked out, go fast AR/AK pretty much useless as anything other than a club.

    Wait for it.....

      p2, you're probably right, but that's why we should be/should have been putting away supplies for that rainy day. I might run out of a lot of things, but ammo ain't one of them.

      Which is a good reason to have firearms in the same caliber as the Federal employees who will be enforcing these laws.

      they can only regulate interstate transfer of such. ask montana. anything made in the state and transferred only within the state is not legally regulated by the feds. of course guantonimo ain't legal either.

      "they can only regulate interstate transfer of such. ask montana. anything made in the state and transferred only within the state is not legally regulated by the feds. of course guantonimo ain't legal either."

      The USSC ruled decades ago that growing your own hay to feed your own horses is interstate commerce. If the Feds decide they want to step in, they will step in.

      @riverrider - this is the basis for the new supressor law voted in by the house and senate in Texas. Made in TX, purchased in TX, kept in TX keeps them from needing a tax stamp from the ATF.
      I'm curious to see how it plays out.

      Wrong. They only have the manpower to enforce what we let them. The end.
      All that happens is the result of inaction on our part.

    Chris Mallory, therefore every .gov LEO becomes a supply point.
