The Tennessee legislature is now in session. What are there issues? What are the issues of the people?

Gov. Lee declined to accept $84 million in federal funds to feed Tennessee kids during summer.

Tennessee lawmakers are more concerned with loosening gun laws than the issues of the people, e.g. cost of living and inflation, health care access and affordability and housing affordability.

"Some bills to look out for are House Bill 1189, ... would change Tennessee’s current handgun carry permit system ... allowing permit holders to legally carry any firearm they own in places where they can now only carry handguns."

"HB 0387 and Senate Bill 0474 limit doctors from asking about gun ownership. If a provider asks a patient if they own, possess, or have access to firearms, ammunition, or accessories, the bill would allow disciplinary action and a fine of up to $1,000."

"SB 1629 deletes the criminal offenses of carrying a firearm with intent to go armed and carrying a weapon in a public park with the intent to go armed. It also prohibits a juvenile from carrying a firearm with the intent to go armed except in certain circumstances."

Sen. Becky Massey (R-Knoxville) said, "I'm not about making a statement. I'm about trying to get things done and trying to pass bills that save lives."

Huh?
