Tennessee Governor Bill Lee calls special session for gun safety legislation.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has called for a special session on public safety after the recent Covenant School shooting. The session will focus on protecting Tennessee communities and preserving constitutional rights, including Second Amendment rights, while addressing the issue of mental health resources. The governor's proposal for a temporary mental health order of protection, also known as a red flag law, was not taken up by the Republican supermajority during the regular session. The details of the legislative package for the special session are yet to be released.
