Chattanooga stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and condemns Russia's unprovoked invasion. Our city is home to many with deep ties to Ukraine who have built communities at local markets and houses of worship. Our hearts are with them and their loved ones abroad. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦

I commend Gov. Lee for his leadership and fully support these measures. It's just common sense that people who are a danger to themselves or others shouldn't have access to a firearm—these steps will keep families safe without infringing on the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
New: After Nashville shooting, GOP Gov. Bill Lee says he's signing an executive order strengthening background checks, and is urging legislature to pass a type of red flag law.

But parents also need to be responsible. If you know your kid has access to a firearm, you must intervene before someone—perhaps even your own child—ends up dead. The kind of gun violence that erupted last night is often rooted in neglect.
