Surely Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee is confused.
He has confused gun rights with life rights. And grocery sales-tax holidays with tax cuts for rich people and a handout for a professional sports stadium.
This is the guy who wants the Volunteer State to ban so-called “COVID passports” to “prohibit any government-mandated vaccine passports to protect the privacy of Tennesseans’ health information and ensure this vaccine remains a voluntary, personal decision.”
Huh? How about protecting us from a deadly virus that already has killed 564,00 Americans, nearly 12,000 Tennesseans and 480 Hamilton County residents?
Lee also is the guy who recently signed into law “permitless carry” gun legislation that means anyone over 21 (and military people 18 and up) can carry a handgun without a permit. And since they don’t have to have a permit, they also don’t have to have a background check or gun safety training.
