2. Do a majority Tennesseans actually oppose this measure?
Edited on Fri May-07-10 09:45 AM by OneTenthofOnePercent
The Tennessee General Assembly has voted against the wishes of a majority of the people of this state for the second year in a row with its bill to allow guns in bars and restaurants.
...
"The NRA is saying to us, 'If you don't support and vote for carrying guns in bars, we will not endorse you and will, in fact, oppose you,' " McCord told his colleagues before they passed the bill anyway. "I've got a strong history of supporting and advocating for the NRA, but this line of reasoning is just bordering on lunacy."


The way McCord makes it sound is that the majority of Tennesseans side with the NRA... otherwise NRA opposition would not be a great threat and politicians wouldn't be intimidated into voting with the NRA, right?. Ergo, would a majority of Tennesseans oppose such a measure... obviously, they support the NRA? Besides, many states allow legal concealed carry where alcohol is served without incident. The measure does not allow getting drunk or drinking and carrying legal while carrying a gun.
