Tennessee's Special Session: Advocates Rally for Gun Reform

Ahead of a special session in Tennessee, the push for gun reform has gained momentum and spread across the state. Thousands of Tennesseans, including retirees, young professionals, and mothers, have mobilized to advocate for change following the March shooting deaths of three third graders and three staff members at The Covenant School in Nashville. Public polling shows support for additional gun regulations, such as tightened background checks and a red flag law. However, there are concerns that politically entrenched camps at the state Capitol do not reflect the more nuanced views found across the state. Despite the challenges, advocates are determined to continue their efforts and see the special session as just the beginning of their fight for gun reform.
