Wyoming, Texas, Indiana, and now Michigan are pursuing legislation to nullify any federal firearms bans (including magazines and other ridiculous things). Has anyone heard anything of the sort in TN? This is not FFA legislation, which serves to protect firearms manufactured, sold, and kept in TN. This type of legislation would nullify the federal laws, and in most, if not all these states, would also include felony charges for federal agents attempting to enforce federal bans within state lines.
I'm about to write my state reps and see what they have to say.

for there to be any teeth in the 10th Amendment, you have to give the states back their representation by repealing the 17th. States effectively don't exist in this former Republic.
Also, the only functional check on runaway federal government ceased to exist when the Senate was perverted into this second House, competing with the legitimate representatives of The People to bribe you with your own money for votes.
That is the finger in the dike. Repeal 17 or nothing good you want can happen. Repealing it doesn't guarantee good things will happen, but they are guaranteed NOT to happen if this is not done.

I do know that Rep. Carr has introduced HB0042 which I understand is pretty much word for word the Wyoming act. I understand that there are several more coming possibly this week.
The big issue is any viable bill must have language which requires the state attorney general (or special counsel) to take all reasonable action to enforce the 10th Amendment, the 9th Amendment, the 2nd Amendment and to, as the matter warrants, either defend or prosecute cases that arise in this issue of state sovereignty.
