Unfortunately it appears that the only way to make this happen is to elect more Democrats so that the Republicans are back in the position of trying to fool...er...prove to gun owners in TN that they are on our side to get us to vote Republican next time.  As it is, it appears that many of them, at least, feel secure in their control and have no need to deign to bother with the likes of us.  I have said, before, that it seemed like more things of real benefit got done with an Illinois Democrat as Governor and and anti-gun Democrat as Speaker than we have seen with a so-called Repubican Governor and majority Republican State Legislature.  The trick is to either not elect enough Democrats - or at least be careful not to elect staunchly anti-gun Democrats - so that we start going backward but to elect enough that the Republicans stop feeling so smugly safe in their jobs.

Two things, the TFA poisoned the well with the current legislature, by pushing to create a 'protected' class of employee.  Second, all we need to do to fix the current log jam, is have somebody primary Beth Harwell and then loose to a democrat in the general election.  Problem solved.

Harwell can not be primaried, the liberals would cross over en banc to make sure she stays in power.

I don't think that is true..  If you found a republican with a name starting with a letter before H, and made some stink about her anti-gun record and desire to increase taxes, she'd probably loose.  Then who cares if we hold the seat in the general or not.

Having been intimately and financially involved in a number of legislative races, money and name recognition is ALL that counts, and one must have money to get the name recognition...

Maggart is no longer in the House because the NRA got financially involved, and grass roots organizations walked and worked...Maggart insulted the NRA lobbyist and they came after her with bucks, and the Tea Party sent car loads of door knockers, we hit every likely Republican door we could.  The NRA will NOT take on Harwell, she is Speaker and they will NOT loose access.

It, (NRA) is crowing about every State that passes Constitutional Carry, and is already running  ILA adds about it in Kentucky, urging its members there to call and  write, they are not here because the governor and the speakers have already said they were against it.

Sheriff's Association, Chiefs of Police, Establishment Republicans and  the Chamber are the enemies of a restoration of God given firearms Rights in Tennessee, them and a fractured gun owners base.
