Tennessee lawmakers seek to block any Red Flag legislation in general assembly

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Any attempts at passing or enforcing laws that would temporarily remove firearms from Tennesseans deemed a risk to themselves or others may be preempted by other legislation.

Sen. Janice Bowling (R-Tullahoma) has introduced a bill that would supersede any legislation related to extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs). SB2763 would “preempt the entire field of legislation regarding extreme risk protection orders,” no matter if it were allowed on the county or city level or statewide.
