Boy that figures. Bill Asslam is a horrible governor with an anti gun record a mile long. TN has serious problems with it's gun laws. Look up what the state did to David Sarti.Gov. Bill Haslam and Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey were among the prominent Republicans who campaigned and raised money for Maggart, arguing she was unfairly targeted by the NRA.

Unexpected? This was very expected, Maggart was desperate as can be, the TFA and NRA pretty well killed her. We had SEVERAL upsets yesterday, this was an election that was fun to watch.
Lets give Tennessee the best gun laws in the country!

Rest assured.
All the anti gun activists all have guns to save their own bacon.
They just don't want YOU having guns.
Congratulations to you, SomeKid, and to your fellow Volunteers!
Guns, if they have a moral dimension, are good. Without guns, the strong can always dominate the weak; the many can always dominate the few; and men can always dominate women. A gun gives each person an agency equivalent to his (or her) moral standing. In my humble opinion, those who teach correct and proper gun use are doing G-d's work.
That was my read also from the press that I have been following.Originally Posted by SomeKid
It always struck me very odd that those TN lawmakers were that anti.
TN as a whole has always struck me as one of those very pro 2A core states who were saddled with idiot lawmakers completely out of touch with their people.

If TN can get a decent governor, it is ripe for being the next leader in restoring the 2nd amendment.
Really? Really? Ripe?
They are already 'ripe'.
They have been 'ripe'.
They are way past 'ripe'.
The residents of TN will enjoy stronger 2A support.
This is a simple and logical outcome, nothing more, nothing less.

Wow what a post Jamie. Even when you're kinda agreeing with me it's like you're yelling at me. That post was sorta hard to follow, especially at the end, but I think we're in agreement on the issue of TN being ripe in some fashion
.
After reading your post, I immediately thought of this similarly forceful delivery:

After reading your post, I immediately thought of this similarly forceful delivery:
You might take notice that none of these modifiers were used in my post.
Also, please note that your Hitler-esque reference proves the truth behind Godwin's Law.
It usually is not constructive to the discussion at hand.
For future reference, I was demonstrating a very matter-of-fact approach to the TN situation in my post.
I do not believe in getting twisted up about much of anything, and always remain calm, rational, and a firm believer in common sense and restraint.
My concern for all 2A issues is that we as a group, need to remain calm and rational at all times.
It is always much easier to fight with intellect rather than emotion.
Now you know how I look at everything.

Ok Jamie whatever.
There are more ways to yell with text that just caps and bold (multiple "reallys" for starters). It was the weird and slightly creepy repetition of the word "ripe" that was kind of comical yelling. The entire construction of your post did not come off as calm. Pounding the living hell out of same word over and over as you did, comes off as yelling. But whatever Jamie. Your anger, then denial of anger, and your aggression towards others causes me concern if you own firearms. How you claim you look at things, i.e. your claim of being calm, is night and day different from your behavior that I have observed.
I don't hate you, and if you look at all my past posts, you'll see (again) that I don't get nasty and vicious with people I'm trying to have a discussion with.
If you don't find it humorous, then oh well, but I DO find it humorous how your entire disjointed angry post fit perfectly within that angry rant by hitler. Your reference to "godwins law" (godwin's law is something people reference when they need a diversion) makes no sense in this context because your own words truly did fit nicely with his speech patterns. That and the anger component were the only comparisons I made.
Some explanation of what exactly you meant with your multiple variations of the word "ripe" would help your post to make sense.
There's NO "truth" to Godwin's asinine so-called "law". And I've had occasion to tell him so.
Ignorance is the solution to no "problems" besides overpopulation and an "excess" of liberty.

Obviously I was wrong in giving you the benefit of doubt!
It all just raced right over your widdle head, didn't it!?
Context? Please. The only recognizable component is another conspiracy!

The last sentence is very accurate. Haslam is an anti swine, MAIG member and all. After he was elected, the Senate Majority Leader Ramsey, who had previously championed our issues made a complete about face. The House, which had been getting ready to put a conservative Speaker up, suddenly put - Beth Harwell in as speaker, the single most liberal member of the House, the ONLY member to vote to support Bredeson's veto of park carry. (It was overridden without her). McCormick, the current House Majority leader, who I had met with personally several times, and had in the past talked right, and even when we lost due to interference from then Speaker Naifeh (D, Leftopia) voted for our bills, stopped talking to gun groups, and worked to undermine us. My own representative (Republican), who had also talked well, and voted well when in the minority, who KNEW where I and this area stood, sponsored an anti-gun bill, but pulled it the day after (and yes, I say this with pride) I spent 20 minutes on the phone questioning his sanity (politely, this IS the South). Maggart, the defeated House leader, flat out said gun bills had to die because they might interfere with the re-electing of incumbant republicans.
Read that last sentence, and enjoy the delicious irony. Sadly, the lesson is likely not learned.

The current speaker is quoted near the end. We probably need to crucify another House GOP leader, and maybe a Senate leader if they won't take the hint. As far as I am concerned, they will do as we say, or one by one we will grind them under our heels. I am sick of being denied my freedom. I was sick enough that for this one election I gave more money to Rogers alone than I had previously given to all other candidates - ever. (Admittedly, I am young enough that ever is not very long, but I wasn't alone in supporting her, thankfully.)

Let the record reflect I passed on comment to this all too tempting straight line.

Well, I am certainly hoping that the turnouts of incumbents, as few as they have been, send a loud message to Capital Hill. We have to keep this trend going and growing for a few more years.

What's going on in Tennessee?
I just read where the dems are mad that their senate candidate
didn't win. So, the party will not (financially) support the guy who won the election.
Pass the popcorn!
It looks like the people are not cooperating with the wishes of the 'establishment' - of either party.What's going on in Tennessee?
Yea, that's 'gotta make you smile!

At the lower levels, challenges seem to bear fruit, but sadly, when you start rising to the higher levels incumbants are harder to root out.
