Wow, what a bunch of chickenshits. So regular citizens have to dodge the gunfire everywhere from restaurants to the interstate to state park golf courses, but our state legislators are too skeeered to live by the same standard they've legislated for everyone else.
Hey, Rep. Fincher: get a clue! If some children performing the musical "Annie" at a Knoxville church are targets, WE'RE ALL TARGETS! You're not special because of your position as a state representative, idiot. You're just one of us plebes. You're just like the rest of us.
Wake up and smell the hypocrisy.

It's a good thing that those of us who disagree with them about guns, do. Otherwise, we would have them as targets.

So much for the "created equal" part; and BTW that "unalienable rights" business, well just so you know, that's out too. Oh, and whle I'm at it we might as well clarify that the "equal protection under the law" is just so much nonsense, according to Rep Henry Fincher and the TN legislature.
