Republican/NRA Insanity in Tennessee by Robert R. Odle, Ph.D.

NRA Insanity in Tennessee a Good Citizen of Humanity

There is some insanity going on in Tennessee.   NRA is having convention and most of the Republicans candidates for President are invited to speak.  Tennessee which is 75% Republican wanted to show appreciation for the NRA for bringing 70, 000 people to come to Nashville.  So they started working on some new laws and rules:

1. Local laws that prohibit guns in parks are outlawed by State law. However, signs prohibiting guns in park may stay up they just don't count.

2. Democrats attempted to amended the bill to say people can bring guns into the legislature.  This amendment failed. Parks are okay, but not okay for the environment in which those laws are passed.

3. At the NRA exhibition hall all guns must be made non operational.

4. Guns are allowed in the convention when the Republican candidates are speaking. Permits will not be checked. They be operational and concealed.

5. And then there is this guy nick-named Rambo in Nashville that walks around with assault guns outside of schools. He has a permit so its legal.

6. So, because of The Rambo guy, the legislation is debating passing a law that fake guns, like squirt guns, are illegal near schools.  Real guns are okay still.

7.  And who is coming to this insanity party?  All but two of the Republicans candidates for President will be there giving speeches to impress the NRA.

The latest Social Progress Index has just been published and the U.S. is sliding down the list in many areas.  In terms of access to basic education, of a 130 countries, we are 43rd.  But that is okay, we are number one in access to guns.  What a country!
