Tennessee Governor Pushes for Stronger Gun Control Measures.
TL;DR Summary
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has called for lawmakers to pass a red flag law that would temporarily remove guns from dangerous people. He also announced an executive order to strengthen background checks for gun purchases. The move comes after a mass shooting in Nashville that left six people dead. However, the legislation faces long odds in Tennessee, a deep red state with many Republican leaders strongly opposed to any effort that could be construed as limiting gun rights.
