Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Lee has urged the state’s legislature to pass additional gun control measures, an especially charged subject in a state that recently suffered a school shooting
Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Lee on Tuesday urged the state’s legislature to pass additional gun control measures, an especially charged subject in a state that recently suffered a school shooting and the acrimonious expulsion of two Black Democratic lawmakers who called for greater firearm restrictions. “I’m asking the General Assembly to bring forward an order of protection law.
” Lee signaled that he plans to sign an executive order strengthening the state’s gun background checks by setting a 72-hour clock for new criminal activity. Lee said it will also ensure courts will provide timely and accurate information to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations. The executive order will also require the TBI to analyze the current process for sharing information during the process of buying a gun so changes can be made if necessary, according to Lee.
