Tennessee's Mental Health Reform Focus Amidst Gun Violence

TL;DR Summary
U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett has been meeting with Democrats to find solutions to mass shootings, but the conversations haven't created consensus. Burchett's focus is mental health reform, not a substantive ban on assault weapons. He said he does not see “any real role” for Congress in addressing gun violence other than to “mess things up.” Burchett is leery of what a registry of mentally ill people would look like.
