Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed into law on Friday a bill allowing teachers to carry a concealed firearm on campus. The state joins more than 30 other states that have passed similar legislation.
The logic and common sense behind such legislation is irrefutable – deranged shooters prefer gun free zones such as schools as their targets – and yet it took the state’s Republican majority lawmakers more than year following a school shooting in Nashville last year to move the bill to the governor’s desk.
On March 27, 2023, 28-year-old transgender Aiden (originally Audrey) Hale shot her way through the glass doors of The Covenant School in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville at 10:00 in the morning. By the time armed law-enforcement officials ended the massacre, three students and three adults, and the shooter, were dead.
