VOTE NO on legislation to allow 18 year olds to carry guns without a background check!
In TN, as in almost every other state, if you want to:
Drive - You need a license
Hunt - You need a license
Fish - You need a license
Cut hair - Youneed a license
Do manicures and pedicures - You need a license
Put a car or motorcycle on the road - You need to register it
The 2nd amendment was written when the US had no standing army. That moment is long passed. We DO NOT need a well organized militia in any state of the Union. Allowing 18 year olds to carry loaded firearms in public is insanity. This legislation is opposed by every TN law enforcement organization.
Please VOTE NO on this legislation. The GOP and Gov Lee seem hell bent on turning TN into an armed encampment. It will surely NOT be good for tourism and business.
There is NO rational explanation for why this legislation is needed. VOTE NO.
Gov Lee, if this legislation gets to your desk you should veto it without hesitation!
