Red Flag Tennessee

Yesterday, the Tennessee legislature was convened at the behest of Governor Bill Lee. The purpose was to enact Red Flag laws, stemming from the events of the Nashville Shooting. Of course, the shooter in that crime had a manifesto, and it is not being released. There is no doubt that there is a reason the manifesto is not being released. Smart money says the manifesto proves that a red flag law would not have prevented the crime, and would also likely be proof of the problems with the LGBTQ community. 

Why would a so-called Republican governor propose red flag laws? Simple - he is not conservative, nor really Republican. He locked down the state of Tennessee, after all, when he got frightened about people getting sick. It wound up that about 35 more people died than in normal flu seasons, and less severe than 2018 deaths. 

Naturally, the governor is not even calling the red flag laws by name. That is a tactic of the Left® - to rename something to disguise true intent. Governor Lee calls them "order of protection policy." As usual, they have nothing to do with their name. 

Maybe also worth mentioning is that one of the persons who sadly perished in that crime in question, was the friend of the governor's wife. Cue the harpy shrieks of "we have got to do something!"

Those who claim we must do something, never propose the right thing to do. 

Hopefully, shortly after the session convenes later this morning, it will be adjourned. Senator Janice Bowling is supposed to move to adjourn. There are no laws being presented that are Constitutional, or effective. The session forbids laws other than the specified ones to be legislated. Therefore, this is a complete waste of time and money.
