Tennessee's Gun Law Push Ends in Scuffle and Drama

TL;DR Summary
A special legislative session in Tennessee called by Governor Bill Lee to address gun safety laws ended without any progress, as Republican lawmakers refused to pass laws they viewed as threats to citizens' right to own guns. The session concluded with a brief scuffle between two Democratic lawmakers and the Republican House Speaker. Despite setting aside additional funds for existing safety programs, critics argue that no meaningful action was taken to address gun violence.
