Nice try, Bill

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — On what appeared to be the penultimate day of session, Gov. Bill Lee’s gun reform amendment appears to be dead in the water – at least for this year.

“This is not Congress, we actually read the bills, we go through the bills in detail,” Rep. Jason Zachary (R-Knoxville) said. “You cannot responsibly pass a 15-page bill in a couple of days; it’s just not how our committee structure works.”

Lee’s amendment would introduce a ‘temporary mental health order of protection’ to remove guns from someone a court finds threatening.

    The irony of 'mental health' laws from the party that is unable to define what a woman is, should not go unnoticed.

  3. “We aren’t Congress, we read the bills “. That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time!

  4. They know the "Pass it now, fix it next year" isn't going to fly for a Red Flag law.
    Other state's Red Flag laws are being struck down as unconstitutional, so Tennessee has to pass a new one.
