By John Harris [Tennessee Firearms Association] and The Tennessee Conservative Staff –
The Tennessee Firearms Association is releasing interviews with State Legislative members regarding the status of the 2nd Amendment in Tennessee and the 2022 Legislative session.
Beginning in December 2021, TFA began releasing interviews of members of the Tennessee Legislature on the status of the 2nd Amendment in Tennessee.
This week, TFA released an interview with Representative Jerry Sexton (R-Bean Station), who represents District 35 in the TN House of Representatives.
Sexton’s district includes Claiborne, Grainger and part of Union County.

TFA has already released interviews with Representatives Terri Lynn Weaver, Mike Sparks, Rusty Grills, Todd Warner, Clay Doggett, Rep. Chris Todd and Jay Reedy.
TFA is working with other legislators who are eager to participate in these interviews to set them up as quickly as possible to allow them to speak to the concerned citizens of Tennessee about the continuing Second Amendment issues in Tennessee. The response has been very positive so far with only one state legislator who has refused to participate in the interviews.

This is an opportunity to increase awareness among voters concerning how the legislators, at least those who participate, feel about the 2nd Amendment, what they understand it to mean, and their thoughts on what still needs to be done to fully remove infringements on the rights protected by the 2nd Amendment from government encroachment.
2022 is a huge year for gun owners in Tennessee. The ongoing legislative session needs to address topics such as actually trying to pass REAL constitutional carry (not merely another defense to a criminal charge like they did in 2021). More significantly, given the last 12 years, we also have a statewide election in which all House members are up for re-election and 1/2 of the Senate will be up. With all of this activity, 2nd Amendment issues will be a major consideration for voters in 2022.
TFA asks that if you are a state legislator, please contact johnharris@tennesseefirearms.com or rarchie@tennesseefirearms.com to schedule your interview.
TFA also issued this statement to Tennesseans concerned with their Second Amendment rights, “If your state legislators have not yet been interviewed, contact them and encourage them to do so.”
You can find their Tennessee legislator’s contact information HERE.
