Tennessee Governor Bill Lee Signs Executive Order to Tighten Background Checks, Calls for Red Flag Law to Help Prevent Future Tragedies

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has signed an executive order to tighten background checks and called for a "red flag" law to make it easier to remove guns from people who pose a danger. This move comes in the wake of a school shooting and the expulsion of two Black Democratic lawmakers who called for greater firearm restrictions. Gun reformers in the state have welcomed the move, and it is now up to the state legislature to pass the necessary legislation.
