TL;DR
After a mass shooting at a Christian academy in Nashville, the city's Christian community is grappling with the role of guns in their religion. Some leaders argue that prayers, not politics, are needed, while others say their religion is being used to distract from calls for gun restrictions. Tennessee is the third-most-religious state in the US, and Nashville is known as the "buckle of the Bible Belt." The shooting has prompted some to call for mental health checks and other gun restrictions, while others argue that taking away guns is not the answer.
