I don't think the state will fund a defense of the firearms act to the supreme court.

But, the solution to this problem is very simple, add an amendment that removes federal employees police powers in TN when dealing with any case covered under the Firearm Freedom Act, and make it unlawful (Class A felony) to attempt to take anybody into custody... That will solve the ATF problem really quick... We (TN citizens and legislature) allow this problem to grow and fester inside out own state... All we have to do is change the law to no longer give federal employees police powers over certain sections of the law, and the problem disappears. |

No offense guys, but this is going to end badly for us (as far as this particular issue) in the long run/big picture of Federal vs. State - 10th Amendment. It will be spun by the left and ruled against by SCOTUS as another "Sensible Control".

Not a fatalist, but the proverbial line has been drawn in the sand. Right now I say it's a toss up.
