Thanks very much and letting me know what’s on your mind regarding the right to bear arms.

I’m a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights. Congress should not pass laws that take away these rights from law abiding citizens and leave criminals to terrorize the streets. Good citizens don’t abuse guns – criminals do. I will continue to support legislative efforts to protect the Second Amendment rights of law abiding Americans, and oppose efforts to overturn the Second Amendment.

In two recent cases, the U.S. Supreme Court clearly held that the Second Amendment protects the right of individual Americans to keep and bear arms. In the 2008 case, D.C. v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that D.C.’s restrictive gun laws violated the constitutional rights of Americans. Two years later, in McDonald v. Chicago, the court struck down the city of Chicago’s handgun ban and held that, like the federal government, state and local governments must respect Second Amendment rights. I joined legal briefs in both cases in defense of this constitutional right and was pleased with the Supreme Court’s decisions.

I am grateful you took the time to let me know where you stand. I’ll be sure to keep your comments in mind as Second Amendment rights are discussed and debated in Washington and in Tennessee.

Sincerely,
Lamar

This one is good to go

Tennessee's pretty red right now so I think we're safe...

Given his history, consider him a fair-weather friend, at best.

Nice

Yeah I don't fully trust him. It sounded good but he didn't come out against an AWB or magazine cap specifically, and given his voting record I wouldn't put it past him to do something stupid.

I still haven't heard anything back from Bob Corker or John Duncan Jr.

Agreed, but he's been pretty firm on this one.  Corker is the one who seems wishy-washy.

Still haven't heard a word from Corker, I have seen this posted several times from Alexander.

100% fucking this.  Never trust Alexander.  He's as wishy washy as Dawn soap.

Never trust any of them.

Sorry if it's a dupe. I tried searching, but I'll be damned if I can find a way to search the General or Hometown forums on here. Am I missing something? Also can't subscribe to posts in General? I've been lurking here for a long time but just registered and started posting on here when the crisis started in December, so I guess I don't know how to use the site well.

No these were posted on several FB gun boards, not here.

I got the same email a couple of days ago.

Yeah I'm wondering what's the deal with Corker.He definitely seems to be watching the flag direction before commenting

never trust a man who wears that much flannel and sits on the stage with Lord 0.

Corker was mayor here. I met him a few times and even did 2 public unveiling things with him. Not bad for a really rich politician. i get his emails from time to time. I thought he had come out saying 2A good. He wont go against a very firm (R) base in TN
