The NRA pulled out the big bucks to try and defeat Debra Maggart:

State filings show the National Rifle Association has dumped $75,000 into an effort to defeat state House Republican Caucus Chairman Debra Maggart of Hendersonville in the Aug. 2 GOP primary.

The NRA and Tennessee Firearms Association have accused Maggart of “undermining” Second Amendment rights by trying to “kill” legislation that would have allowed handgun-carry permit holders to store their firearms out of sight in locked vehicles parked on private and public parking lots.
