The TN second district race is well underway and someone has created a website on how awful incumbent Senator Doug Overbey is. Doug Overbey is bad on the 2nd Amendment He likes to raise taxes And he supported Obamacare. Americans for Prosperity has been running ads on this actually. These are some of the reasons […]

From a press release: 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 […]

Doug Overbey votes with Democrats and the Police for Profit Class against Constitution Of course, the for profit training is also done by individuals. The larger issue, I think, is that the state actually makes money on the handgun carry program, a rarity for government. And that is why, recently, the lowered the fees.

Senator Doug Overbey has never been a friend to gun owners. See past posts here. Received this in email today on the guns in parks bill:

The revised guns in parks bill has passed the senate. And Doug Overbey with his “effective, conservative leadership” has once again voted against civil liberties. This guy needs to go. And any of you guys who do the wikipedia thing should adjust his page there to reflect that. He’s early in his second term. I’ll […]

MJM: How about if you back us — the people? Stop local governments when they act arbitrarily to make your law-abiding gun-owning constituents into criminals, for simply stepping across an invisible dotted line into some green space owned by the city? Your constituents can go armed right down the highway in the Great Smoky Mountains […]

When we last mentioned Overbey, the supposed conservative was busy trying to place undue burdens on individuals and businesses by requiring a prescription to get Sudafed BECAUSE METH!!!11one. This from a guy who touts his “effective, conservative leadership”. I guess it’s very conservative to require me to go spend additional money at a doctor’s office […]

Bless his heart, the good Senator seems to think that because TN is number two in meth lab busts that we must do something. For the childrentm. That something is requiring me to see my doctor if I come up with the sniffles so I can get a prescription for Sudafed. Look, Sparky, I don’t […]

First, I don’t think papers should endorse candidates. That said: The KNS has endorsed challenger Doug Overbey. I personally have stated I’ll be voting for his opponent, incumbent Raymond Finney because Overbey while in the house crossed party lines to vote for Jimmy Naifeh as speaker of the house. Jimmy Naifeh, you’ll recall, is our […]

My state senator, Doug Overbey, is leaving office. He has a history of killing off pro gun bills in committee. The bad news is he will be the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee: State Sen. Doug Overbey, R-Maryville, was nominated Friday by President Donald Trump to serve as U.S. Attorney for the […]

Reps. Bob Ramsey, Art Swann & Senator Doug Overbey vote to raise gas tax

It’s that time again for some one to try to pass it. And it will, again, go down due to Doug Overbey.

No secret, I’m supporting him. Because Doug Overbey is awful. As more evidence that Overbey is awful, our terrible local news rag (which you wouldn’t know there was an election going on until today) endorsed him because he’s a champion or some such silliness. And more evidence, the local liberal semi fortnightly endorsed him too. […]

I bumped this post because I voted today. Our current state senator, Doug Overbey, is no friend to gun owners. Nor to freedom in general. His job claims haven’t materialized. And he’s been rated a zero on a tax payer friendly list. And whole list of other things that most of his constituents wouldn’t be […]

Our current state senator, Doug Overbey, is no friend to gun owners. Nor to freedom in general. His job claims haven’t materialized. And he’s been rated a zero on a tax payer friendly list. And whole list of other things that most of his constituents wouldn’t be fans of. And his voting record isn’t too […]

But of course: Committee delays action on gun bills I’m guessing Overbey being against gun rights again. And Haslam doesn’t like the idea of guns in the legislative plaza: But Gov. Bill Haslams administration is raising concerns about the proposed change. The Republican governor said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday that […]

My state senator, Doug Overbey (who is awful on gun rights) has a survey on issues. One of the questions is on gun rights. If you’re local, go fill it out.

The bill to revoke cities’ ability to ban gun in parks has advanced through the senate, 26-7. My state senator, Doug Overbey is once again showing us he’s not a friend to gun owners. He argued on the senate floor that guns shouldn’t be allowed anywhere children are present. You locals should contact him.

Pro gun bills in house subcommittee. A few passed the senate already, no thanks to Doug Overbey.

The Tennessean: The Senate Judiciary Committee will form an ad hoc committee to study all of the gun bills that have been filed in the General Assembly this year, Chairwoman Mae Beavers said at the start of a hearing Wednesday. Sen. Mike Faulk, R-Kingsport, Sen. Doug Overbey, R-Maryville, and Sen. Doug Jackson, D-Dickson, were appointed […]

Campfield hangs on. Overbey defeats Finney. You’ll recall that in his time in the house Overbey crossed party lines to vote for Jimmy Naifeh as speaker of the house. Jimmy Naifeh, you’ll recall, is our lying speaker of the house who keeps abusing his power to kill pro-gun bills. And it looks like the dirty […]

There’s a pretty ugly local election for judge in my county. Apparently, the local papers have been pretty incompetent on the issue. Incompetent is one word. Partisan hacks would be another. But I digress. Also, we have the battle of the douchebags. See, we got us a state senate race going on. The incumbent is […]

The NRA has several bills in the works in Tennessee to reform some right to carry issues. Detals below the fold (via NRA News Alerts):

So, Dennis Kucinich, in an effort to remove all doubt that he is a Communist, sued and got some retarded judge to force MSNBC to allow him to attend a debate aired on MSNBC, paid for by MSNBC, and that is MSNBC’s property. I guess we know where Dennis stands on free speech too. Good […]
