Tennessee “Emergency Powers” Legislation on the Move!

Please Contact Your State Senator and House Subcommittee Members Today!

Senate Bill 1597, sponsored by Senator Mark Norris (R-32) and its companion bill, House Bill 1285, sponsored by Representative Chris Crider (R-79) are making their way though the Senate and the House of Representatives.

A vote has been scheduled for SB 1597 for Monday, March 26 at 5:00 PM.  SB 1597 would protect our Second Amendment rights during a state of emergency by prohibiting any government agency from regulating the lawful sale, possession, transfer, transport and carry of firearms.

Please contact your State Senator today at 1-800-449-8366 and urge him or her to protect our Second Amendments rights and vote “YES” on SB 1597.
