New Federal attack on 2nd Amendment underscores need for strong 10th Amendment legislation in Tennessee.
History has proven that true constitutional rights are always in
jeopardy when progressives, socialists, and even moderates are in
control at the local, state or federal levels. The fact is that your
constitutional rights are in jeopardy at any time that true conservative
constitutional stewards do not have full control of government. This
is true in Nashville, Memphis and other Tennessee “blue” cities. This
is true in state government. It is certainly true in the least
accountable government of all – the federal government.
With
the federal government under the control of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,
and their co-conspirators in Congress it is certain that our rights are
in jeopardy. The existence of these risks is why it was critical
for Tennessee to enact strong legislation in 2021 under the 2nd and
10th Amendments to push back on the Biden administration in an effort to
protect our political and individual rights to have arms within the
full intent of the Founding Father’s design. That did not happen in
2021 or in years prior but it can and must happen in 2022.
Joe
Biden has repeatedly shown a disdain for the rights that are protected
by the 2nd Amendment. He has shown his willingness, as frankly Donald
Trump did with his calls for the ban on bump stocks, to disregard the
2nd Amendment’s declaratory statement and to bring the full power of the
federal government down in an attack on the rights of the people to
have those arms at hand that would be necessary should the people decide
to once again form a new nation one that is realigned with the
principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence.
The
attack on your rights under the 2nd Amendment is clear.
On July 14,
2021, the Biden administration’s Department of Justice issued a “memorandum”
to all BATF branches directing them on the “implementation of the
administration’s comprehensive strategy”. Now, this is just what was
put in writing – can you imagine what is being communicated without a
paper trail? What is the thrust of the memorandum and policy?
Simple
and largely the same as some have articulated since the mid 1980s – that
is to infringe civilian access to firearms by eliminating as many
federal firearms licensees as possible for “technical” violations of the
federal firearms laws. The memorandum directs that even a single
incidence of numerous technical violations should result a revocation of
the FFL’s license. While it is true that the federal courts have for
too long allowed the 2nd Amendment to be disregarded in the name of
“public safety”, very little if any of what the federal government is
doing can be sustainable under the 2nd Amendment’s “shall not be
infringed” mandate.
