Tennessee Firearms Assoc. Inc.

On Sept. 30, 2005 , My employer closed the doors at the factory where I had worked for 30 years. .... Since they had imported material that we used to make, from China,.. we were granted trade status. ,... That means your right to unemployment doubles, and if you go to school for free,... it quadruples. I decided to go back to school . About that time I also posted that TFA should work to reverse the TN "Gun Free School Zone" law. .... The reaction to my suggestion brought little support and a couple insulting posts. As a result , I lost interest in TFA and paying any dues................... In the light of recent events,......... inspite of the fact I no longer consider myself a TFA member,........... i ,AGAIN suggest that TFA work to make it legal for permit holders to carry at TN schools. It won't help me any ,... I 'm about through now. But, It might help some other people if they ever have to go through what I have.

The best first step is letter writing. Members of the Chattanooga chapter have already written letters.

This the perfect time for each of us to contact our state senator and representative and urge them to sponsor and push for carry on college campus.

A ground swell from the constituents will carry far more weight than a press release from any firearm organization.

Those who claim that this is the worst mass murder in US history...terrorist attacks on September 11th and the Murrah Building aside...are ignorant of the true record.

The worst mass murder in our history was perpetrated by a jilted lover who used a gallon of gasoline to torch a nightclub with his ex-girlfriend inside.

Do your research, please.

Our legislators will give the people their due when we force them to pass laws that address our wishes, not their devious infringements for political purposes.

I sent my letters out, not that they will do any good. The politicians forget who put them there as soon as they get there.
