The Memphis Commercial Appeal has a bee in its bonnet re: the “guns in bars” legislation heading towards approval. They’re pissed at the state legislature’s likely override of the governor’s veto of HB0233, which would allow the state’s 270,000 concealed carry permit holders to carry their weapon into a bar or restaurant serving booze—unless the establishment’s owner prohibits firearms. “Two statewide polls show Tennesseans are strongly opposed to the idea,” The Appeal asserts, without citation. “But the National Rifle Association, which won’t rest until there are guns in every honky-tonk, biker bar and strip club, has threatened legislators’ re-election efforts if the legislation fails.” From there, it’s don’t go there and vote these NRA-lovers out of office. It’s a short piece, with some equally pithy commentary underneath. This one from usn_retired caught my editorial eye . . .
