Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is prepared to stab gun owners directly in the back!
Moments ago, he demanded the Tennessee General Assembly pass a “Red Flag Gun Confiscation” law.
What’s worse, Lee said Republican “leaders” in the General Assembly are all on board!
If you and I are to stop Lee’s “Red Flags” from becoming law in Tennessee, I need you to take grassroots action RIGHT NOW!
Second Amendment supporters must put the heat on the General Assembly and insist they DEFEAT Lee’s push for a “Red Flag” law in Tennessee.
I can hardly begin to describe what a nightmare it would be if ANY FORM of Red Flag Gun Confiscation legislation were to pass into law in Tennessee.
At a minimum, this legislation would:
>>> Allow liberal judges to order the seizure of your firearms, before you have been arrested or convicted of a crime and based solely on the word of an embittered personal enemy (think ex-spouse) who you haven’t seen in years!
This legislation would take the left’s ‘cancel culture’ tactics to a whole new level, allowing your life and your freedoms to be brutally attacked by complaints that can literally be phoned into the court, even though you’ve never been charged with a crime.
>>> Shred your due process rights, by allowing your guns to be seized through secret, ex-parte, court proceedings that you would know nothing about, much less be allowed to attend!
If you’re charged with running a stop sign in America, you can contest it in court. You can have a lawyer present, you can even request a jury trial! But ‘Red Flag’ laws will allow a judge to take away your guns in total secrecy.
>>> Create a system that would most often result in a lifetime gun ban, by allowing the state to apply for an automatic extension at the end of the initial gun seizure order. You and I both know that once you’ve been labeled as ‘dangerous’ and subjected to an initial ‘Red Flag’ seizure order, a judge is all but guaranteed to extend this order when asked to do so.
>>> Terrify your family by allowing SWAT Teams to break down your door in the middle of the night to look for guns or ammunition. You see, if the same person who made the initial complaint against you makes up a claim that you didn’t surrender all of your guns, the judge will issue a high-risk search warrant, and the SWAT Team will be sent to your door.
Lee is demanding action on “Red Flags” as soon as possible.
Time is short and we must make sure your voice is the loudest at the Capitol in Nashville or Lee will hand the gun-grabbers a win in a deep red state like Tennessee.
TAKE ACTION NOW!
For America,
Chris Dorr, President
