A day after killing ten bills, including a move that would let people carry guns just about anywhere, state Sen. Todd Gardenhire, R-Chattanooga, found himself in the crosshairs of the Tennessee Firearms Association. He shot back.
Gardenhire, a veteran Chattanooga lawmaker who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the firearms group hadn't "darkened" his door for years yet continued to bash him.
The group also hammered nearly every other Republican in the state for not repealing Tennessee's law against carrying a weapon with "intent to go armed," a situation in which carrying the gun has no designated purpose such as hunting. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
