From Tennessee Firearms Association:

The ATF - as expected - has issued a letter in which it disregards the 10th Amendment restrictions on federal power (as seems to be the trend since the late 1930) and has notified Tennessee’s federal firearms dealers that the Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act is meaningless. Essentially, ATF is saying to the state of Tennessee that the 10th Amendment no longer exists.

We expected such from a tyranny that no longer lives within the bounds of its express authority…

Here's the law in question--duly passed and signed into law by the representatives of the people:

PC0435

Here's the ATF letter dictating the opinion that authority to override that is solely vested in unelected federal enforcers:

We've seen similar efforts in other states, notably Montana, Minnesota, South Carolina, Florida, Texas...

Sorry, folks. Carson W. Carroll says "No."

You need to obey him, instead. If you know what's good for you.
