shelby county commission just voted to send justin pearson back to the tennessee state house. his colleague justin jones was reinstated monday. both were protesting for gun reform after three kids and three school staffers were shot and killed by someone who legally bought the weapons and used them to murder school children and teachers. and both lawmakers were expelled from the state government for speaking out republicans said it was because they lacked decorum on the house floor. the backlash to the gop decision has been so intense, it s only helped to fuel the debate on guns in tennessee. and now the southern states governor is actually pushing for some gun reform. governor bill lee signed an executive order on tuesday, strengthening background checks, and he s now calling for gop state lawmakers, the same ones who expelled pearson and jones to pass a red flag law let s first listen to justin pearson. guilty of not expanding health care. guilty of not giving us educatio
represent representatives like the mayor of louisville cannot actually force the gun violence prevention laws already on the books, and granted, kentucky doesn t have a whole lot, but some of them that they do have, catie, are things like child access protection laws that make it unlawful for people to unsafely store their guns in their homes. this law that was passed basically says the mayor and law enforcement can t take any action to enforce the small paltry amount of laws kentuckians already have on the books, that they have dually and appropriately passed so this is a dangerous kind of dystopian universe we live in with the nra pushing laws passed by states to stop the enforcement of, as he said, authority by localities about what kind of world they want to live in. you know, i ask this of everybody that comes on, how do we stop this
