Pressure to pass gun safety measures has also come from students, parents, politicians and others after last month's shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, which killed three children and three adults.
Law enforcement would first determine if a person is a threat, then a hearing with the person in question would be held, and a judge would rule whether they should indeed have their weapons taken away temporarily. If so, the person would have to surrender their guns, ammunition and any handgun carry license to a third party within 48 hours, for up to 180 days.
Lt. Gov. Randy McNally, who runs the Senate, has said the governor’s proposal strikes the right balance. "The vast majority of Americans support sensible gun laws. The vast majority of Tennesseans do too,” the column states.The Tennessee Firearms Association said Lee's proposal shows “callous disregard of the United States Supreme Court and the Constitution.”
