You Go, Girl!

State Sen. Mae Beavers is my kind of politician. She tells it like it is and, more importantly, she's right when she tells it like it is.
The senator is pushing Senate Bill 1610, which is known as the "Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act."
Sen. Beavers says in the bill "be it the federal government mandating changes in order for states to receive federal funds or the federal government telling us how to regulate commerce contained completely within this state -- enough is enough. Our founders fought too hard to ensure states' sovereignty and I am sick and tired of activist federal officials and judges sticking their noses where they don't belong."
You go, girl!
The Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act says that if a firearm and/or ammunition, and stamped "made in Tennessee", then the federal government has no jurisdiction over that item in any fashion so long as it remains in state and outside of interstate commerce. All state regulations applying to the possession of firearms in Tennessee would still be applicable and must be complied with. This legislation is being proposed to orevent a federal attempt to legislate beyond the Constitutional limits of Congress.
The 10th Amendment defines the total scope of federal government as being that which has been delegated by the people to the federal government, and also that which is absolutely necessary to advancing those powers specificallyenumerated in the VConstitution of the United States.
This bill is similar to one signed into law in Montana and is currently pending passage in at least 30 other states.
Let me just add this thought: Thank goodness for the likes of State Sen. Mae Beavers.
