Tennessee Musicians and Activists Rally for Gun Reform
TL;DR
Sheryl Crow and Amy Grant led a delegation to lobby Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and state lawmakers to enact serious reforms following the deadly Covenant School shooting. They are part of a newly formed coalition, Voices for a Safer Tennessee, that is calling for an extreme risk protection law to take firearms out of the hands of mentally unstable individuals and laws requiring the safe storage of firearms. House Democrats and Republicans are having conversations about possible legislation, but Republicans are charting their own path and it is not expected to include an extreme risk protection order or red flag law.
