Southern leaders push for stricter gun control measures.

Kentucky and Tennessee leaders are calling for tighter gun control laws, including stronger measures to prevent people in crisis from accessing firearms, following two mass shootings that killed 11 people in Louisville and Nashville. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee urged the General Assembly to find a compromise to bolster the state's "red flag" laws, aimed at making it more difficult for people deemed to be a threat to the public or themselves from having access to firearms. Meanwhile, U.S. Representative Morgan McGarvey urged federal lawmakers to support universal background checks.
