I understand that the readers here like to see videos and pictures from time to time, so here are a few videos that may interest you. First up is an interview State Senator Doug Jackson did on Fox News about ‘guns in bars’ legislation. The interviewer obviously subscribes to the blood in the streets argument with shootouts and other things that don’t happen … happening on a regular basis now that this legislation has passed.

Next up are a video and commercial from Marco Rubio, who is running for U.S. Senate in Florida. He’s pretty impressive, and – as an aside – his imagery reminds me of professional soccer. First up is his introductory video and then a commercial that attacks Charlie Crist, the former governor of Florida and his primary opponent.

According to House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner, the Democrat Caucus will not be taking a position on gun bills.

“We are going to let those bills, let the people in the caucus vote their own convictions, on those bills. Gun bills will be done the same way. We don’t have a particular caucus item. Most of our people will probably vote for most of the gun bills; There are some that have concerns about others, but that’s an individual choice thing, that the people are going to make up their minds about.”

This is just another example of why “it matters who governs” – a suggestion popularized by Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey.

The State House has already seen the effects of this governance with a recent vote to end mandatory fingerprinting by gun dealers of buyers at the time of purchase. From an article in The Tennessean:

Tennessee firearms dealers would no longer have to take the thumbprints of people buying guns under a bill passed by the state House on Thursday.

The measure sponsored by House Republican Caucus Chairman Glen Casada was approved on an 82-11 vote, with four members abstaining. The companion bill is awaiting a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
