(419 posts)87. If ya wanna talk about stupid Laws
Here are a few stupid laws that I have advocated against,
SB 1325 Arming teachers in TN
If you want to carry a gun openly or concealed in public in Tennessee, you don't need a permit. As of July 1, 2021, Tennessee is a permit-less carry state.
Stand your ground laws upend centuries of legal tradition, allowing a person to use deadly force in self-defense in public, even if that force can be safely avoided by retreating or when nonlethal force would suffice.
Tennessee's new Guns in Bars law took effect Tuesday. It allows those with a concealed weapons carry permit to pack heat inside bars and restaurants (what could possibly go wrong)

My family had a gun related incident leaving my niece dead. Without that gun present, she would be alive today.

Sure. Like with cigarettes. Maybe just a stop gap measure until we can do something about the inbreeding crisis. n/t

Other "advanced" countries have a tiny fraction of the gun violence/deaths we do.
