Tennessee Passes Reform Of Defense To Prosecution For NFA Owners
TUCSON, ARIZ. –-(Ammoland.com)- In a major advance for National Firearms Act (NFA) gun owners, the Tennessee Legislature resoundingly passed Senate Bill 181 and House Bill 136 (companion bills), which reform Tennessee’s so-called “Defense to Prosecution Law” (DTP).
DTP laws say that NFA items are technically illegal, but that the owner has a defense to prosecution if the item is registered with the BATFE pursuant to the National Firearms Act.
The practical effect is that a person arrested for possession of an NFA item in a DTP state can offer the registration as a valid defense in court.
“There are a number of states that have these defense-to-prosecution laws on the books, and the NFA Freedom Alliance is dedicated to reforming them, making NFA items completely legal to possess as long as the owner complies with federal law,” said Todd Rathner, executive director of the NFA Freedom Alliance.
“This is a major advance for NFA gun owners, but it’s only the beginning for the NFA Freedom Alliance,” Rathner added.
The NFA Freedom Alliance is currently working on a similar bill (House Bill 989) in Texas. SB 181/HB 136 now heads to Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, who will hopefully sign it in the coming days.
The NFA Freedom Alliance would like to thank Tennessee State Senator Mike Bell and Representative Jeremy Faison for taking on this important issue and shepherding it through to such powerful majorities.
