trouble that I am expecting is a debate of the issues. Republicans are not ashamed or timid to debate issues. Unlike the Democrats that simply drink the liberal kool-aid.

The joke of us believing in the right to keep and bear was to keep Democrats from crashing our meeting. That has happened that Democrat candidates show up at our Republican club meetings.

Because they get tired of meeting only one or two of their party faithful in a phone booth. Republicans generate crowds, Democrats generate well not much.

Since republicans believe that anyone may carry a weapon anywhere and that "Congress shall pass no law" why shouldn't they all carry their weapons into the school as a form of civil protest in support of their interpretation of the 2nd amendment, which as we all know, supercedes all those other amendments and is the most important part of Constitutional law?

If republicans had balls they would stand up for what they believe, wouldn't they? But they don't, and they won't.

Well, one answer is that the Tennesse legislature is not "Congress", and so far the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to apply the "incorporation doctrine" so as to incorporate the 2nd Amendment through the Fourteenth Amendment and apply it to the states. The ban on handguns at schools is an act of the Tennessee legislature (TCA §39-17-1309), and thus the 2nd Amendment would have no application.

But another answer, I suppose, is that they have no balls.

The kool-aid is still working well on some folks around Knox County. Word on the street is it's powering some unidentified black helicopters.
