Anyone has a right to operate a boat on Tennessee’s lakes and waterways provided they have passed a boater safety course, or to drive a motor vehicle on state roads provided they have passed the state’s driving test.
Those provisions are necessary to enhance public safety, just as is the state’s firearm safety course, which is required to obtain a permit to carry a handgun in Tennessee.
Rep. Scotty Campbell of Mountain City wants to change that. “The Constitution does not say that you have to pay money for a permit to have permission to carry a firearm,” he said in introducing a bill that would allow state residents to go armed without a permit. |

The scribe that wrote this lacks the common sense.
Constitutional carry is the law in more than a dozen states and has not been a problem.
Perhaps the writer should do some research before he accuses others of what he is guilty of. |

"[T]he Supreme Court has interpreted the Second Amendment as giving Americans a constitutional right to keep and bear arms."
BZZZZZT!!! Disqualified.
Anyone who fails (or refuses) to understand the foundational principle of God-given fundamental rights is automatically eliminated from participating in any 'debate.' |

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| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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) |
