Infowars July 18, 2009 Click here to see an enlargement of the letter. It is yet another example of the federal government running roughshod over the states. Last month, the state of Tennessee’s General Assembly passed House Bill 1796, the “Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act,” which states that any firearms or ammunition manufactured within the state and legally owned and kept within the state by citizens are “not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration” due to provisions in the Second, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. But according to Assistant Director Carson W. Carroll of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the U.S. Constitution is little more than a g.d. piece of paper, as George W. Bush so infamously deemed it during his reign as the decider-in-chief. On July 16, Carroll dispatched his agency’s official response to the law passed in Tennessee — the BATFE asserts that “Federal law supersedes the Act, and all provisions of the Gun Control Act and the National Firearms Act, and their corresponding regulations, continue to apply.” It will be interesting to see how Tennessee reacts to this official proclamation LINK to the BATF MEMO www.infowars.com/images/firearms-letter.png

"It will be interesting to see how Tennessee reacts to this official proclamation."
Yes, and this is precisely what we needed from BATFE. Now for Tennessee to state, no, and we don't recognize your authority in the matter. Don't try and enforce it.

Let's hope Tennessee has the backbone to tell the Feds to F. O.

Knowing as many Tennesseans I do, they will not only tell em to pound sand, but give em a first hand lesson in cranial sand pounding.

This is Tennessee's chance to make a stand against a constitutionally corrupt government when everyone is watching. This is the fight that you want. Now is the time.

Maybe the Volunteer State could use some extra volunteers to help compact some loose sand.

I would change this statement to: "It's another example of the federal government trying to use intimidation tactics against the states."
Good for TN, and I hope they hold the line on this. I am trying to get some people on board to craft similar legislation in WV. We already have a 10A resolution ready for the next legislative session.
