"This bill simply asserts that if a firearms [sic] and/or ammunition is made totally within the state of Tennessee, then the federal government has no jurisdiction over that item in any fashion, so long as it remains in the state and outside of interstate commerce," Sen. Mae Beavers ... said.

Hmm. Will Tennessee assume responsibility for keeping these firearms and this ammunition within its borders? If a firearm, or ammunition, purchased in TN is not federally registered and used in a crime in another state, will the second state have standing to sue Tennessee?

I would assume they’d go after the criminal.

By the way, look at Gonzales v. Oregon, assisted suicide.

Of course, we’ll hear that the Bush admin and our 3 conservative justices opposed Oregon law.

We need to keep the focus on the inalienable right to life - can’t agree to be killed, can’t commit suicide, and have the right to protect your life.

Uh, right now there is no "federal registration" of firearms. And hopefully, there never will be.
