We fixed Bill Lee's Tweet about the need for Red Flag laws - but he is still demanding that the Legislature enact gun confiscation in a Special Session!
Friends,
Governor Bill Lee has demanded for months now that the primary response he has to the Covenant murders is gun control that seizes firearms from individuals who have not committed any crimes. He supports Red Flag laws.
Although polling shows that 84% of Tennesseans want to remove mental ill people who are a medically established danger to themselves or others from the community to get them treatment, Bill Lee wants to send armed officers into their homes to seize the guns but leave those dangerous individuals free to do harm in the community.
Bill Lee put his proposal on Twitter but that tweet needed to be corrected - at least to reflect the need to remove dangerous, mentally ill people from their victims.
