"We need a constitutional amendment like the one in Tennessee that states that no amendment to a bill may be made that is not directly related to the original bill. "

I agree, but couldn't they say that the AWB and gun show "loop hole" riders related to the bill being that they are all gun related?

Nope. The Tennessee Constitution states "No bill shall become a law which embraces more than one subject, that subject to be expressed in the title." So far the Rats in Tennesse haven't tried to pass a law entitled, "Stuff" or "Guns" and just pack it full.
