Governor Bill Lee announced that the Tennessee General Assembly will reconvene for a special session to discuss firearm safety legislation beginning August 21, 2023.
As Voices for a Safer Tennessee wrote in a statement in response to the Governor’s announcement, “Polling continues to highlight the substantial common ground among Tennesseans of all political viewpoints for meaningful firearm safety solutions, and this special session will make more room for our elected officials to respond to the voices of their constituents.”
Governor Lee has requested feedback in advance of the August 21 special session. Continue to let your voice be heard! Respond and let him know you support:
Extreme Risk Protection Orders
Universal background checks, and
Safe storage
The grannies’ vision of a ban on assault weapons may still be a dream, but small steps in the right direction make a big difference!
