Tennessee gun-control push at crossroads as proposal stalls
CBSN
Chances are shrinking fast for a key gun-control proposal to make it through the Tennessee Legislature in the wake of a deadly school shooting, as GOP lawmakers are pushing back against the Republican governor's proposal to keep firearms away from people who could harm themselves or others faces.
Tennessee has become a flashpoint in the nation's heated debate over gun rights. Two young Black Democratic lawmakers were expelled from the state House for a protest over gun control. They've since been reinstated.
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.
