Gov. Bill Lee Calls Tennessee Legislature into Special Session for Gun Control

[fullmetaljesus]

That’s DiFfErEhT! Cars aren’t designed to be weapons of mass destruction.

Idk fords are pretty good at blowing up your wallet

But…but…but…JUST DO SOMETHING!!!!

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner.
Politicians can't risk being called a 'do nothing' or someone that fiddled while the state burned.
A Red Flag law will make people feel safer (they won't actually be safer) and it will sound good during a campaign speech.

...A Red Flag law will make people feel safer (they won't actually be safer) and it will sound good during a campaign speech.

The problem we have is a brutal lack of honesty from ALL politicians, republican or democratic, liberal or conservative.

The truth is we are NEVER truly safe, ever, anywhere. Any one of us at any time in any place can go from peaceful tranquility to facing imminent mortality in .00000001 seconds.

The cause of the threat can be anything. A gas line leaks and - BOOM! A perfectly good driver has a vehicle that suffers a sudden loss of normal operational status and loses control, careening into a crowd. A plane falls out of the sky.

And of course there are human beings that decide that they've suffered enough anger or frustration or stress and they get twisted into a creature that makes the decision to express that emotion in a violent and lethal way. They could be a normally decent person but all the safety valves around them, family, friends, coworkers, whomever fail to engage and they plummet into madness.

To some of the risks we can put in small or large barriers, sometimes literally. If a car loses control there is possibly a barrier between them and oncoming traffic. For a gas leak we add mercaptan so we can smell it and turn off the gas. But human beings are extremely complicated, and not always very predictable. Ask a married couple when the last time their spouse blew up and they never saw it coming? And they've been married how many years?

People are resistant to this reality because complacency is easy. We ARE safe almost all of the time no matter where we go or what we are doing. Even if we aren't "safe" we are still mostly safe from lethal threat. So it's easy to be shocked when our perception falls face down onto reality. It hurts, sometimes forever.

To truly protect people from other people is to have the open and brutally honest discussion of how to protect ourselves from a human mind that has gone sour without taking from the vast number of human being the ability to carry as much responsibility for themselves and their loved ones that we can.

The answer to that problem is extremely complicated, because the problem is extremely complicated. The problem is our society doesn't like complicated answers. We want drive through instant service sound bite answers that never really do squat but they allow some to think they have - until the next time.

Regards,

Doug

When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.

Or pass some random gun law.

I couldn’t say this any better.

A conservative is just a liberal driving the speed limit. The sad fact is, both parties will carry us to Hell in a handbasket eventually, the difference being one party is in a hair-on-fire hurry.

To say politicians are worthless pieces of **** would be an insult to ****, so I will refrain.

 

[actaeon277]

A proposed gun law wouldn't have solved the problem that it's being proposed to solve.
That's happened a hundred times before.
THEY DON'T CARE.

When our dad was racing in the 500 and driving for Menard, he did a safe driving program at a bunch of high schools with Governor Tommy Thompson up in Wisconsin. The theme of his speech was “A car is like a loaded gun”. All common sense has left us.

Too bad they're stuck with him. Reelected in 2022 and the very first thing he does is try to grab for the guns. Once again a RINO gets to backstab the voters without consequence.

I grew up in Tennessee and still have a tie or two down there. The resemblance between a Tennessee republican and an Indiana republican are often times uncanny.

They have their uses lol, I call them Chamber of Commerce Republicans. They are damn good at balancing a budget, and business related matters, however they severely lack when it comes to rights and freedoms. You have to keep on them about the last part.

I don't know if I got that term from INGO but I think about them the same way. Don't really care about culture, society, principles, rights, or much of anything beyond the maintainence of their respective income streams and businesses.

Well Good Luck Lee there is a large number who have had enough of his antics. A conservative he is not as evidenced by his handling of the Plandemic.

Thankfully Grass Roots efforts prevailed.
