Second Amendment bills in Tennessee House today include reaffirming right to carry AR-15

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--As more Tennessee counties continue to push "Second Amendment Sanctuary County" policies, one Tennessee lawmaker wants the state as a whole to support the Second Amendment.

A resolution going to the House floor Monday evening was filed by Rep. James Micah Van Huss last session and reaffirms Tennessean's right to bear arms.

HJR 748 cites a book which states 262 million people worldwide have been killed by their governments and says it is a "God-given" liberty to stand against a tyrannical government.

"We avow that Tennessee will not comply with extra-constitutional actions from any government or body that infringes on our citizens' right to keep and bear arms," the legislation states.
