Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee caved on his opposition to gun control just over two weeks after the Nashville Christian school shooting and called for state legislatures to pass a red flag law.
Connecticut was the first state in the Union to adopt a red flag law, doing so in 1999. The law did not prevent the December 14, 2012, attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School from occurring. In October 2014 Gov. Jerry Brown signed California’s gun violence restraining order legislation into law. On June 5, 2022, Breitbart News
California was the number one state in the Union for gun control and also the number one state for “active shooter incidents.”
Traitor
Surrender to the Rino swamp creature that you are.
Not smart!
What a traitor.
Bill lee...you're a coward
Good idea… properly managed Red Flag programs can be of great help to families that are aware they have a troubled relative with a gun. The key is properly managed and administered.
Impeach! The last thing this country needs are more weak people in leadership positions!
Sell out
He’s infringing……
mk77_williepete Unprincipled coward.
No red flag law would have worked to stop that mentally ill woman
How about NO!
Hope he loses re-election. He’s useless
Expelling those 2 black men backfired. Not only were they reinstated but the protests supporting them, especially by young ppl, forced a republican governor to implement new gun laws. Young ppl are sick of school shootings & are doing something about it unlike republican adults.
Maybe the thugs threatened him . It seems to work in Tennessee they have no back bone it's now the Tennessee titbabys
Moral cowards will not defend your rights. They have demonstrated this since 2020. They do not act on principle or law- only power
KurtSchlichter Rhino loser
KurtSchlichter That won’t solve anything
KurtSchlichter Sounds like being a trans person should be high on the list of red flag items.
KurtSchlichter Conservatives have the most useless leadership class.
KurtSchlichter He’s a lame-duck, isn’t he? That’s why he’s caving into all this.
Anyone ever notice that it’s always an R that does the most unconstitutional stuff? Trump supported red flag laws, bump stock bans, and did the whole covid and jab socialism thing. Bush bailed out the banks & went to Iraq. Reagan gave us VICP & supported “assault weapons” bans.
KurtSchlichter I’m so sick of weak Republicans!
KurtSchlichter What the hell? Where do we find these guys and why do we keep electing them? The left NEVER backs down, compromises or bows to pressure (mainly bc the right exerts none). So sick of these gutless turds.
And now he is done.
Needs to be tough like the Tennessee volunteers that went to defend the Alamo
It's a political move so he can be re-elected Governor but that won't work because the conservatives who backed his election will vanish.
Kick him out of office for violating the 2A...
The stigma of mental health issues is bad enough and this will make it worse plus wouldn’t be a violation to Hippa?!
Republicans are so weak...
We should be asking 'why'? What led up to his change of heart? A threat? A bribe? A car exploding with someone close to him in it?
It's not a gun problem It's a people problem
He will never be re-elected.
Like I keep saying, 80% of GOP spineless cowardly RINOS
Caved? Saving lives is caving?
Caved is not a good word for this guy. He still does not realize that guns are not the problem! Red flag laws if held up responsibly may help, but most often they are abused and guess who takes the hit? Law abiding citizens!
Nope 👎
Primary his ass to hell.
🤬🤬🤬
Was his name supposed to be followed with a “D”? 😯
Weak.
Vote him out!
As long as a major red flag is gender dysphoria!
Weak governor
Quote John Rich johnrich 'Most Republicans are as dirty as a pair of old gym socks. They play like conservatives in front of the cameras, but take their “upside” with the “opposition” on the daily. They play us for fools on both sides. They are the UniParty.'
Pinko Commie
GovBillLee
Require doctors to report mental issues and behavioral prescribed drugs to guvment database. Then during background check, warning pops up like credit card charge.
Of course, he will cave as he serves satan.
Me too.
Red flag laws are sensible. Even FL has red flag laws.
Our governor needs to grow a pair. I feel a veto override if a red flag law is passed in the great free state of Tennessee.
That’s kind of governor we need to get rid of
He caved to a minority..What about the majority?
Well, this guy won’t be around long Tennessee’s backpedaling on a lot of stuff, rino’s the lot of them
Caving to the left, outrageous
Red flag laws .. so anyone can call you in no proof necessary? What about a mad ex , a business partner who felt cheated, i guy who thinks you stole his parking spot,a sibling left out of a will, anyone anytime …. Wrongheaded
We do not need gun control guns aint the damn problem biden and the damn democrats are
He’s done. RFL’s can be used against law abiding citizens if a complaint is raised by any 3 rd party. Karen calls the cops and says she is afraid of the neighbor and he has guns. Taken away and has to prove he isn’t a problem. ACLU doesn’t support them either.
Gov Lee of Tennessee is shameful. He lets Trans people pressure him into standing AGAINST our Constitutional rights. What a coward and traitor to Tennessee citizens!!
Coward
Red flag laws are unconstitutional and wouldn't of stopped these shootings. You are guilty until you can prove innocence. The governor, like too many of the GOP, apparently has no spine. It's a mental health issue and false flag op. to keep the gun control issue front and center
Will this mean guns taken from all drug cartels and gangs and violent criminals or will they harrass law abiding citizens? Lets be honest here, they know they will never get gangs, drug cartels, and violent criminals to give up their guns.
Spineless! Rihno!
Thats the end of his career.
The red flag law will stop nothing. Those criminals don't care about laws and the red flag law will be used against law abiding citizens not criminals... Wake up people...... Remove anyone that does thing to violate the Constitution.
BillLeeTN is a RINO
Coward.
The problem with red flag laws is they can be abused by govt...and as Covid showed, govt can NOT be trusted to restrain themselves from abusing their authority!
This is what happens when you think more about your career
Pathetic. Shall not be infringed pretty clear.
TN man up he needs to be recalled now.
Time for a new governor in TN
He's made a big mistake!
Obviously, he's running as a dem from now on!
money
Spineless
That's sad.
Woke is broke. Bud is lighter in the wallet. Anheuser-Busch sheds nearly $5 billion in value since Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney pact sparked outrage
RINO.
Ok then pass a law that stops all transgenders from having guns…
This is exactly what gives the left wing mob their power. When are some brave conservatives going to step up? Please!!!
They never work. Gov. regs fail every time.
Red Flag laws are divisive to the max. Bill Lee is a spineless twat.
Don’t let Democrats own guns.
🤬
He just lost a lot of Tennesseans.
Reps are cowards say one thing n do the other. Rhino perhaps
What has happened to Tennessee?
Traitor 😡👎💩💀🔥
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
And Republicans wonder why they lose elections. You think this will get Democrats to vote for you or Republicans to sit home next election.
We now know that Gov. Bill Lee is a RINO, and has reached his final station on the Peter Principle ladder.
Another RINO.
These damn spineless republicans are going to be the end of our Constitution! They are more of a threat than fascist democrats. At least we know where they stand.
GovBillLee How could you negotiate with terrorist when innocent children and adults were just murdered by mentally unstable and emboldened people in Nashville at a Christian school during Holy Week? We are being targeted and you take away our means to defend ourselves.
A leader with no control
No red flag law will stop someone that’s wants a gun from getting it.
Red flag law should be supported
Who needs due process?
He's willing to trust corrupt liberal activist judges to not abuse red flag laws? He's out of his ever loving mind! When they come after his conservative gun owners, and they will, what will he do then?
Typical politician that doesn’t have a spine. Gonna “control” law abiding citizens but the crooks will always get their guns. Hopefully the people of the great State of Tn will recall him.
RINO WIMP
This is a poorly written and misleading headline lol. Do better guys
Bad move bro.
A red flag laws would not have prevented this from happenin, her mental illness was not reported. Therefore the laws are and always have been useless. It was already a law that it's illegal to murder people, but the law was broken.
Any government that would take your guns after 250 years must have something planned so eval it would get them shot!!!
He can GFH and his red flag garbage.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
So instead of gun control in one sweeping step, it will be a thousand little reports and law suits. No change of ultimate goal.
He should be recalled immediately. The executive order he signed should be the end of his career.
“Shall not be infringed upon” pretty clear to me.
Asa Hutchinson clone
Second Amendment! Read it again!
An embarrassingly weak governor…
Wimp .
What a wimp.
Some of y’all haven’t figured out how this show works…. It’s all by design
BillLeeTN POS
