Two similar bills HB2145 and SB1607 have been introduced to nullify federal gun control within the state of Tennessee. The legislation prohibits the state from enforcing “any federal act, law, order, rule or regulation that relates to a personal firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition within the limits of this state.”

STATUS:  HB2145 assigned to Civil Justice Subcommittee on Feb. 04th and will need to be passed by a majority vote of the committee to be sent to the full house for a vote.

STATUS:  SB1607 has assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee and needs to also be approved by a majority of the committee members to be sent to the Senate for a vote.

YOUR ACTION IS NEEDED NOW.  It doesn’t matter where Tennessee you live, take these actions today.

1. Call both bills committee chairs and vice-chairs.  Strongly, but respectfully urge him to move this important bipartisan bill forward to a vote in his committee.  A phone call has 10x the impact of an email.
