All tho they are correct in their Constitutional view, it doesn’t matter. The 10th amendment has been totally erased by the courts. For all practical purposes it is not even in the Constitution.

Maybe some day we will return to real Constitutional rule but I am not holding my breath.

There is no case, Constitutionally, from the Federal standpoint. Not that that matters to political cronies, I mean judges.

>The law states that “federal laws and regulations do not apply to personal firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition that is manufactured in Tennessee and remains in Tennessee. ..."

I suspect no court
would ever uphold this law--
won't see a "battle."

Section 1 article 8 does not give the federal government the authority to form the ATF!

As I recall, many or most of the Federal gun laws specifically refer to a gun that has “moved in interstate commerce.”

Is TN receiving any federal funds for law enforcement, criminal-justice programs, and gun-related crimes?

ATF assistant director Carson W. Carroll wrote that ‘Federal law supersedes the Act’,

Why don't you go on down to Tennessee and enforce your cute little letter there Madame Assistant Director.

I fully support the 10th and detest all gun laws that don’t deal with teh actual hurting of people. There should be no NICS checks, bans, age limits, FFL licensing, abolish the NFA, etc., but I have to point out one problem with this law....

TN state law requires all firearm sales from FFL dealers go through their state system called TICS. This law does not provide an exemption to the state law mandating buyers undergo a background check through the TICS system. So, due to an (intentional???) omission, the law is almost purely symbolic.

The challenge will come from manufacturers who wish to sell them directly to non-FFL holders without going through the TICS system.

(I owned a storefront gun shop for 2.5 years in East TN, and 2 years in NH.)
