  1. There is actually wiggle room in the DNC for this. I think we need to keep holding their feet to the fire. For the past 60 years the Gun Control Lobby has gotten every wet dream they ever have had when it comes to erroding either the public's trust with firearms or the 2A itself. If the worn out and recurring statement is, "If it only saved one life." Then why would we not have community outreach or public education on firearm safety?

  3. Hozzie great catch there, I definitely agree that the passive language could be manipulated. I can only speak to having said that I supported the proposal with those content pieces being a necessity and not an elective.
  4. Are you clicking on the details? https://cs.startswith.us/citizensolutions/tn/issue/2/proposal/11 because like the proposal: for Gun Literacy Materials you would find further expansion on the details below. Every single proposal has a more in-depth picture when you click details. School resources could be integrated into existing social emotional learning (SEL), health, or civics curriculums. Media resources could include an unbiased language guide that defines factual terminology to discuss gun issues, and guidance on how to interview/report on families affected by gun violence. Community resources could utilize a “train the trainer” model, with experienced firearms trainers first training community leaders on existing laws; safe gun use; safe storage; and de-escalation and avoidance tips. These leaders, in turn, would become qualified to train community members
  5. I think it’s important to distinguish that while the first proposal is being characterized as a red flag law, that proposal was not the starting point of the discussion. I was a part of a discussion with 10 other people, I alone cannot control the whole discussion or limit certain proposals from being discussed What I find interesting is whenever in a gun store or at the range we all have frequent discussion of our frustration with anti-gun laws or policy being drawn up by individuals who are completely uneducated and proposing solutions that are redundant or ineffective. And then we get in our trucks go home and do nothing while every legislative session more infringement makes it through and we just recycle our bump sticker one liners on how stupid this situation is. Our strategy of silence is not working. remember it was a GOP Governor who called the special session and we are lucky that some political knee jerk reaction didn’t make it through. But we could choose to be proactive and we can educate the other side (there are people willing to listen) on why the policies they are proposing are ineffective. My experience in the TN11 project was if you do make yourself present for uncomfortable discussions you might even convert a few people to the realization that infringement and restricting law abiding citizens is not the way forward.
  6. You want to know the most frustrating thing? Most of the Representatives and the one Senator that showed up where Democrats, 2 republican Representatives showed up, but neither wanted to engage in any discussion, nothing about the viability of the proposals or anything. The whole thing went down just as I imagined, the Democrats know how to mobilize while the GOP leaves empty seats at the table. The current strategy of no discussion might work while TN has a republican super majority but the demographics of this state are changing fast. We can either educate others on why their right to self defense is important through engaging in conversation or let our active silence be the catalyst for future voters to be more accustom and comfortable with liberal talking points on the subject .
  7. You all can look up the trust and see it’s actually based in TX along with the Family who runs it. I have personally never met him. The article is a hatchet job at best and miscategorizes anyone who is conservative in the project as a liberal plant. I and the other members of the TN11 fought specifically for the temporary removal proposal to be drafted closer to the removal limits currently in place for Domestic Violence. Our proposal is not a red flag law where hearsay and ambiguous hoops to jump through limits a person’s constitutional rights. As I said in the documentary I believe a person who has current domestic violence charges or law enforcement encounters, or current hospitalizations for threats of violence should not have access to a firearm until they are stabile and the requirements needing to be met for that right to be reinstated should be clear and easily achievable. what we already know is plenty of people are lobbying for red flag laws and those sentiments are inevitable in the conversation but I am confused how because 1 proposal that gives us heart burn makes it to the table you completely side step the other 4 proposals that are all wins for the gun community and our culture here in TN.
