Tn. candidates get gun rights quiz

[Guest 2HOW]

As Tennessee political candidates become known during the 2010 election cycle, I will send them the gun rights questionnaire below. As I receive their responses, I will post them in the Knoxville Gun Rights Examiner column, and index them alphabetically on this page.

If these races interest you, be sure to bookmark this page, and check back often. Or you can subscribe (free) above, and you will receive an email each time I post a new candidate's responses. Subscriptions will also notify you of my other columns as they are posted.

TN candidates take the gun rights quiz

It will be interesting to see who answers the questions and who avoids direct answers.

IMO, question number seven should be worded to say gun instead of weapon. Too much ambiguity with the word weapon in this question. Gun or firearm would be much more specific.

Florida Keeps Getting it Reight, something to pass on to our Senate here in Tennessee,

REPORT -- ROUND 5: Senate Passes Trust Fund BiIl 31-9

DATE: March 3, 2010

TO: USF & NRA Member and Friends

FROM: Marion P. Hammer

USF Executive Director

NRA Past President

When the Senate came back into session today (Wednesday March 3, 2010 -- the 2nd day of legislative session) SB-1158 by Sen. Charlie Dean ® was heard on third reading and final passage. After much debate and hypocrisy by several Democrats, the bill PASSED by a vote of 31-9.

It is the Democrats who railed against trust fund raids last year, yet 9 of them refused to support our trust fund protection bill -- such hypocrisy.

SB-1158 is a bill to STOP legislative raids to remove (confiscate) gun owner money from the Division of Licensing Trust Fund -- that holds funding to administer the Concealed Weapons & Firearms Licensing program

REMEMBER:

When government takes citizen money for general use by government, IT'S A TAX.

When government confiscates user fees from trust funds intended to be used to administer specific programs and converts it to government use for other purposes, IT'S A TAX.

When government leaders claim to oppose tax increases and promise not to create new taxes but then raid trust funds, they have deceived you because THEY HAVE CREATED A NEW TAX.

When the Florida Legislature raids the concealed weapons and firearms licensing trust fund they have CREATED A TAX ON THE EXERCISE OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT.

Courts have ruled that states may not tax the exercise of a right protected by the federal constitution
