Tennessee Firearms Association: Overbey gets a nope
For example, Sen. Doug Overbey is well known to have voted against many bills in Senate Judiciary that are advanced by real gun rights advocates. For example, this year he voted against Sen. Mark Greens constitutional carry bill (Senate Bill 1483) helping to kill it in Senate Judiciary when the NRA’s lobbyist was in the room. He also voted “no” on a bill to allow handgun permit holders to carry in public parks (HB995, SB1496) in 2016. Yet, the NRA gave Sen. Overbey an A- rating which it defines as somewhere between solidly pro gun and generally pro gun. In addition, it gave Sen. Overbey its endorsement in that specific race.
Another reason to support Scott Williams for senate seat, district 2.

Overbey must go. Out with the civil rights violators one and all.

If all that’s true and the other candidate has a demonstrably superior record of RKBA and important political considerations like electability, have TFA and you not communicated that to NRA?

The problem is Seveir county has gone from the most republican county in Tennessee 15 years ago to a county that may turn blue.

Erik, the turn blue is the result of the lie of influence by outside money. The only dems down there are the ones counting the votes.
