TN: HB 1971 Would Block Challenges to Unconstitutional Gun Laws – TAKE ACTION

Summary

Tennessee lawmakers are considering HB 1971, a bill that would severely limit citizens' ability to challenge the constitutionality of state laws, including gun laws, in court. The proposed legislation would restrict constitutional challenges to local government actions, explicitly excluding state legislative actions, thereby potentially shielding unconstitutional state gun laws from judicial review. Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Tennessee Firearms Association oppose the bill, urging citizens to contact their legislators to vote NO.
