Tennessee's Gun Control Debate: Controversy and Hope.
John Harris, the head of the Tennessee Firearms Association, is fighting against common-sense gun laws in Tennessee and openly proclaims that armed citizens may need to overthrow the state's duly elected officials. He has the ears of a significant number of Republican lawmakers and believes that gun rights are more important than public safety. Harris called kids protesting gun violence "props" and believes that more exposure to guns in schools is a good thing. He opposes red-flag laws and prefers to lock up people instead of their guns. Harris has expressed solidarity with anti-government and white nationalist groups on his personal Facebook page.
