TBI Testimony - again - to oppose pro 2nd Amendment Legislation
There is a serious problem in Tennessee. A problem that occurs because
taxpayer funded individuals and departments that are in the
administration are using tax dollars to lobby against your
constitutionally protected rights. These administrative agencies are
under Bill Lee’s control as governor. Presumptivley they speak for him.
But, as the “administration” their job is to implement and
“administer” the public policy choices that the Legislature makes. Its
called separation of powers. It is also called “accountability” to the
voters.
So here is an example of the abuses by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
On
March 9, 2022, Rep. Rusty Grills presented HB2509 to the House Criminal
Practices Subcommittee. The intent of the bill is simple. It would be
to remove a short barrel rifle and a short barrel shotgun as a
prohibited firearm under Tennessee law.
As part of the hearing, a
representative from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spoke against
the bill on behalf of that administrative agency. It is important when
evaluating the issue of whether Tennessee’s administrative agencies are
actively working to suppress or infringe your constitutionally
protected rights to see and be aware of what they are, as “taxpayer
funded” advocates, telling the Legislators. It is also important to
note when Representatives like Jerry Sexton and Bruce Griffey stand up
to these administration representatives and try to push them back into
their limited function as those tasked with “administering” not making
the law.
