I just found out the resolution passed and I am sitting here staring at the wall because I actually cannot believe we pulled this off. It felt like shouting into the void for so long but you guys showed up and kept the pressure on and honestly it worked better …

Do you support a resolution which would guarantee citizens of Robertson County, Protection and Preservation of our 2nd Amendment Rights if unconstitutional laws were passed at the state or federal level? The 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution needs no explanation, it has been enforced for 232 years and is currently under attack by lawmakers who have been abusing the power of their offices, breaking their Oaths to support & defend the Constitution, and have not been kept in check by the very People who elected them.
The rights endowed upon us at birth are inalienable and non-negotiable. Governments were instituted among men specifically to secure our inherited Rights such as Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness. The Constitution specifically states that when the government and its agencies go above and beyond securing Liberty for The People, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish that government. Our elected officials take an Oath which states they will support and DEFEND the Constitution of the United States. It does not say that they will change the laws to suit their personal agendas.
Currently we have two bills in Tennessee (SB1807 & HB1873) which are essentially what is known as “Red Flag Laws”. These types of laws directly violate the MULTIPLE Amendments of the US Constitution. Not only do they violate multiple Rights of he citizens, but red flag laws are incredibly dangerous as they can be used against innocent people, and they invite abuse of power by virtually anyone who decides to make a call against someone they "believe is a threat". An ex-lover or upset neighbor could make the call out of anger, not because you pose direct threat on yourself or anyone else. Furthermore, people who commit crimes DO NOT FOLLOW LAWS. These kinds of laws only hurt the law abiding and they do not provide solution to help the mentally ill. Furthermore, TN already has multiple CONSTITUTIONAL laws on the books to remove guns from those who are mentally disturbed. They allow basic Rights such as Due Process, where Red Flag Laws do not.
Please sign the petition if you want our elected officials to stand by the Oath they took to protect & defend the Constitution and create a Resolution which states they will not use local resources to enforce UNCONSTITUTIONAL laws if passed at the state or federal level.
“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” – Thomas Jefferson Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.” James Madison I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789

I really thought this might just disappear into the digital void but seeing how many people actually care about these rights is honestly overwhelming and kind of shocking in the best way possible. It was tough in the beginning when it felt like shouting into the wind but now the momentum is tangible and I just need to say thanks because this is clearly about way more than just one county.

We should never give up our right to protect ourselves. Every genocide in the 20th Century was preceded by gun confiscation.
I'll be moving to Roberston county at the end of the month. I'd really like to see this resolution pass.
I do not want red flag laws in my county. Any representative in my county that supports this does not have my support!
The US Constitution is non-negotiable. It says what it says. It limits government power. Nowhere does it say "take the People's weapons if they seem to be a threat".
It’s sad that we are the last bastion of freedom and liberty in the world, yet we are reduced to having to establish “sanctuaries” to protect our God-given rights...but desperate times call for desperate measures, so I fully support this.
"Will NOT be infringed"
"Shall not be infringed" does not leave any room for interpretation.

I hope I never have to use a gun in self defense, but I want to have one if the need ever arises.
