States rights vs federal rules is an ongoing power struggle that probably helps balance power in the nation. In recent years, and certainly during the Obama administration, the federal government has become an overreaching, power hungry tyrant, intent on forcing the public to bow to the will of Washington D.C. The battle is especially pronounced when looking at gun legislation, with the federal government intent on forcing nationalized background checks, and states pushing back and issuing more open and concealed carry permits as the nation has become more lawless.
Now it seems that Washington D.C. is going beyond the objective of limiting the rights of citizens to arm themselves, and is determined to give the control to non-American groups such as the U.N. in order to disarm the world.
It is stunning to think that any U.S. bureaucrat would think this is reasonable, and fortunately, there are state legislators that are pushing back and making sure that states rights and citizen rights are not trumped by federal laws, and even more egregious, by international bureaucrats.
This will not stand!

Tennessee you are Totally Awesome!
good job thanks
Correct headline: Tennessee passes useless bill to “reject” bill that had nothing to do with them in the first place.
Because this treat has absolutely NOTHING to do with internal US commerce, neither in general nor with regard to firearm sales specifically. This treaty is about nation states selling arms to one another. By signing onto the treaty, the US adds significant weight to its enforcement among smaller countries that might be tempted to sell weapons to subversive states.
This treaty could go into effect tomorrow and you wouldn’t see a SINGLE thing change in your daily life, EVER.
Stop listening to Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, and pretty much all of Fox News as your sole source of “news.”
We can outlaw Sharia as long as we outlaw Christian-based laws as well. Deal?
Isn’t it a shame that states are wasting time passing useless bills to “reject” treaties that have absolutely no impact on the internal management of the US?
Already done the latter. So when can we start on the former? Ha! Deal, my$#%&!@*
Kick the u.n. out of AMERICA….
Yep
Awesome! Now are yourself and get ready for what’s to come ..
