Three children and two adults were murdered today in a school shooting in Nashville. Here are the gun laws in Tennessee:

NO state permit required to purchase

NO firearm registration

NO owner license required

NO permit required for concealed carry

NO permit required for open carry

NO background checks for private sales

And the state can preempt local laws.

@charlotteclymer I think any European will struggle to make sense of the lack of gun regulation in Tennessee (and other Republican voting states).

If you hadn’t named where the shooting had happened, I think many would have assumed the description was of a war-torn developing country, not the supposed leader of the Free World.

@JugglingWithEggs @charlotteclymer the rate of school shootings in any given war-torn country isn't anywhere near to that in the USA.
