would go into effect as soon as the governor signed the bill. instantly. hopefully like the day before the nra got there. so the confetti would still be falling when ted nugent and wayne lapierre rolled into town. that was the local plan in tennessee for how they wanted to welcome the nra to their state. it quickly got very awkward. there may not be very many democrats left in the tennessee legislature, but the ones who are left appear to be rather spunky. if republicans in the state legislature were going to override local community laws about where guns were allowed, and where they were not allowed, would republican legislators be willing to live under those same principles themselves? the democrats proposed amending this legislation so it didn't just get rid of all the laws banning guns in local parks, their proposed amendment would also override the regulations that banned people from bringing guns and other forms of weaponry into the state capital.
