Tennessee Sen. Beavers and Rep. Butt introduced a bill Tuesday to amend and strengthen the Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act of 2009. The bill is fully endorsed by the Tennessee Firearms Association. Given the sponsors’ names, I thought it wise to check that it wasn’t a spoof. Nope. There really is a Senator Beavers and a Representative Butt in Tennessee and they really have collaborated to increase protection for gun owners.
