Five years ago today, 9 Black worshippers were killed in a racist attack at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. I’ll never forget the day @BarackObama sang of their “Amazing Grace.” The House passed a bill to address the Charleston loophole, but the Senate refuses to act.

The Supreme Court has declined to take up new cases for the next term that gun rights groups claimed denied Second Amendment rights. The court did not accept a batch of nearly a dozen cases that gun groups had hoped the court might consider. washingtonpost.com/politics/…
Supreme Court passes up challenges from gun groups on laws they say violate Second Amendment

Two years ago today, four innocent people were killed and four were injured in a shooting at Waffle House in Nashville, Tennessee. The shooter was barred from having firearms, but our weak gun laws didn’t do the job. Today and always, we #HonorWithAction.

About 20 guys are outside the Tennessee Capitol currently, some with tactical vests and rifles (others open carrying other firearms) for a miniature gun rights rally. Said they’ll be out there most of the day. A trooper came out to check briefly. #tnleg

It's time to adjourn the Tennessee state legislature for the year. The average age of members is 78, staff with young kids, drinking after each other at hotel receptions, everyone going back and forth between Nashville and home. Do the right thing @ltgovmcnally & @CSexton25.

Gun safety trainers are blasting Gov. Bill Lee's push to allow people to carry firearms in public without a permit, without a background check and without gun safety training. "Have you lost your mind?" Read more of what they're saying here: medium.com/@TNSenateDems/hav…

CLIP: “On the campaign trail in 2017, when asked if he supported PERMITLESS CARRY, @GovBillLee said NO, because I’m a guy who’s listening to law enforcement, and law enforcement is very much AGAINST that.” 👀🤔 - @BethJoslinRoth of @SafeTenn (Lee is now doing the NRA’s bidding)

CLIP: “I’m personally concerned about my officers.” Police tell @SenMikeBell that @GovBillLee’s permitless carry makes them less safe. Thousands are stopped from getting guns by the process. @BethJoslinRoth reminds us Lee CAMPAIGNED AGAINST IT. FULL: nitter.gq/thetnholler/status/123…

PERMITLESS CARRY HIGHLIGHTS: “In a state with a serious GUN VIOLENCE problem, this is a HUGE step in the wrong direction.” Watch @GovBillLee’s NRA-BACKED bill pass committee despite opposition from law enforcement- which candidate Lee once cared about.
