Tennessee Governor Bill Lee was particularly peeved that the GOP-dominated Volunteer State legislature didn’t succumb to the usual post-tragedy outcries by all of the usual suspects to DO SOMETHING following the Covenant school shooting. Lee fully expected the aftermath of a school shooting to be enough to get them to pass a due process-free red flag confiscation law. But that didn’t happen.
Translation: The legislature didn’t take the opportunity to surf the usual wave of left wing anti-gun outrage and refused to let an atrocity committed by a random, mentally ill individual goad them into restricting the rights of all lawful Tennessee gun owners in a politically-driven show of concern, futilely intended to somehow mollify the loudest activist and media voices.
