After a long debate about yet another gun bill this afternoon in the House Finance Committee, Rep. Jimmy Naifeh took a swipe at the new Republican majority. Naifeh observed that handgun carry permit holders amount to 6 percent of Tennessee's population. "Six percent," he said, "and we're spending 70 percent of our time on gun bills and the other 30 percent on personal orders." Sitting next to Naifeh, a laughing Speaker Kent Williams responded: "Let's just go ahead and pass these out and we won't be spending so much time on them."
