He thanked the Republican-led general assembly and National Rifle Association for "helping get this done."
Atendees look over Glock, Inc. pistols on the exhibition floor of the 144th National Rifle Association Annual Meetings and Exhibits at the Music City Center in Nashville, Tenn., April 11, 2015.Guns are prohibited for residents who have a felony conviction, a DUI conviction, reported mental health problems and undocumented legal status.
When the permitless carry bill was being debated in the statehouse, several law enforcement agencies said they opposed the move.During testimony in 2021, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation senior policy adviser Jimmy Musice said the state's previous handgun permit system helped prevent roughly 5,500 people from carrying a weapon after the checks determined they were ineligible.
Even CA and Chicago’s gun laws would not have prevent her from getting those guns. We have no mental illness data base and guessing we never will.
What does that have to do with a mentally disturbed hate filled person going on a killing rampage?
Why don't conservatives view restrictions around voting with the contempt they reserve for any and all gun legislation? That right is also enshrined in an amendment, and yet I frequently see politicians making it more difficult for us to vote.
How's the knife laws going in Idaho where 4 college kids was stabbed to death going ? Don't forget ABC a knife is a inanimate object that also grows up and decides to kill people because it gets feelings hurt the same as guns...
Where is Audrey Hale's manifesto? It was reported by police she had one.
A gun didn’t kill, a flag did, just like in Charleston. Ban the 🏳️⚧️ flag just like a flag was targeted, maligned & ban after the targeted hate crime in Charleston. I know y’all remember, you were part of the lynch mob who attacked Southern culture.
Gun laws are racist, targeting minorities and underprivileged. Tennessee is moving in the right direction by allowing everyone equal protection for themselves and loved ones.

'allow teachers to carry' the shooter chose that school because of low security measures. Pretty sure teachers with guns or even having SROs would be a deterrent
People are the problem not guns .
Making and keeping our educational facilities a safe harbor should be every legislator's key priority.
Suppose that lawmakers were not legally permitted to take a dime from lobbyists on any laws involving Constitutional issues? What would gun laws be like without all those millions of dollars muddying the waters?
So let me get this straight.... If a transgender person shoots up a Christian school, we need to be sympathetic towards the trans person. But if a trump supporter storms the capital, resulting in no deaths, that Trump supporters should be put behind bars for 4 years. Makes sense
permits are unconstitutional
LETS GET GUN REFORM NOW!!!!!! I DONT WANT TO BE SCARED TO LEAVE MY HOUSE IN THE USA!!!!!!!
When you study history this doesn’t look so far fetched
Oh, so your claiming that Tennessee just canceled federally required ground checks via NCIS? You may want to double check your math.
Fucking lie. Reported. Tennessee law, TBI personnel perform background checks on prospective gun buyers or those redeeming a firearm from pawn from a licensed firearm dealer. The process, known as the Tennessee Instant Check System (TICS), has been in operation since 1998.
What ABC knows about the shooter? That’s what the Media do! Ignore people that committhese horrible crimes.
Why are we still debating about better security in school for our kids? USA 🇺🇸 is the country with the most investment in military equipment, yet our schools are guarded by a retired elderly cops or military. How hard would it be to have a gun detector that locks all doors ass…
Get it together and stop letting state legislators dictate your culture. Do you want United States or All States Separated?
Guns before kids lives well done the great USA
No one has removed background checks for buying a gun.
And what about the pharmaceuticals?
sounds like it's harder to get a library card than an AR-15.
Hey, let's go down the inane, gun laws are to blame path again! And then watch the mentally ill continue to kill. Then start the insanity about gun laws all over again the next time it happens! Don't ban the gun, fix the nuts. 🥜
Because…..money smh.
as a Tennessean, I'm saving everyone a click: basically there are no gun laws here
Republicans and the NRA and conjoined twins. Reform campaign finance one and for all & make that bribery illegal again.
Tennessee, the new shithole state!!!
Permits are unconstitutional Background checks are ineffective against future criminals
California has the strictest gun laws in the country and they're far from immune to this sort of thing. It's not a gun issue as much as a mental health issue. As you know, ABC News.
SAVE THE CHILDREN STOP VOTING REPUBLICAN
Hmmmm. But they think marijuana and the LGBT are obviously more dangerous. 🤔
Everybody think about this... if somebody gave you 50 guns, would you kill people with them? If your answer is no, you're acknowledging that these shootings are a mental health problem, not a gun problem 🤷♂️ Sorry to bust up the establishment narrative.
Your reporting is misleading at best outright lie at worst According to the liberal CDC the death rate from firearms is significantly higher in liberal/democratic run cities, why is that? Plus this was a hate crime perpetrated by a mentally ill person to assert otherwise is a lie
Where is the article on what medications cause a person to tube this deranged and evil?
You are blaming everyone in politics, except for the person who committed this crime. She is to blame, no one else. She bought the guns, she loaded the guns, she made the choice to go there and she made the choice to pull the triggers. Stop blaming others
Protect yourself and others from a crazy world- go get a gun and cling to the right to own it.
A psychopath killed those people and the shooter happened to be transgender- that’s it - nothing special. Bearing arms is my right and no one legally will touch my firearms.
Apparently Tennessee lawmakers only think they have rights but not their children. The lawmaker who said his children are home-schooled certainly shows how he doesn't care about the lives of all children in Tennessee.
So a mentally ill trans democrat activist Biden supporter shoots up a school and you wanna punish legal law abiding gun owners?
Maybe people who want to feel safe should move to states that have stricter gun control laws , you know like California and Illinois … oh wait 🤦♀️
For the supporter of the second amendment the masshotings are just collateral damage.
Flat out lie on background checks. That is a federal requirement and it is done by every gun dealer in every state. It is not a firearm problem. It is a mental health problem.
pushes excuses for TransTerrorism
It’s against the law to shoot someone with a gun you purchased.
Background checks are required for all gun purchases through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), which includes retailers (anyone from Walmart to mom and pop shops) and some individuals. Audrey Hale bought the guns at 5 different stores. Hale had no criminal record to stop her
The worse crime gets in this country the more we need to be ready to defend ourselves. Criminals aren’t going to stop. We don’t have gated communities or private security as a woman how am I supposed to defend myself and my family? So stop with the gaslighting it’s not working
Then you've got people such as Hunter Biden who lied on his background check form. Prosecute Hunter Biden for that CRIME and send a message to others!!!
Apparently, a man in a Derek’s isn’t a red flag.
Liberals. Do you really think more gun laws would have prevented this murder of Christian Children? I mean. Are you hoping to outlaw crossbows, gasoline and knives too?
This is such a false and misleading headline. MSM is pathetic.
I was a Social Worker and find it disgusting that these children are not getting the mental health care they need and just given drugs and surgery that have life long affects, both physically and mentally. This is about money and division. Shame on you for pushing this agenda.
You people are so dishonest. The gun in TN didn’t go off on its own, there was a person holding it that had documented mental health issues and identified as trans. This isn’t the first “trans” person who has gone after perceived abusers and most have mental health issues.
The reason why Tennessee has less restrictive gun laws can be summed up in one word, gerrymandering.
Is murdering people legal or illegal in Tennessee?
This is what we know. To buy a gun in Tennessee you still have to pass a background check. However it is obvious that the Nashville shooter had some issues of mental illness.
Not a good idea.
It’s amazing you people don’t EVER report on the strict gun laws in Chicago & NYC. Then again, you never report on the murders everyday in Chicago with illegal guns.
Since when do Autistic Mental cases obey laws?
Maybe we should look into why this person felt the need to go shoot up a school full of Christian kids. That’s a good place to start. Without this evil person that gun wouldn’t have been there.
Listen ! Hippa laws restrict back ground for Mental Health ! DMH has failed in all ways. Unanswered Crisis calls , I could go on and on with documentation ! The Director doesn’t return a call , messages go unanswered. Mass Dept of Health has multiple complaints !
Lol 'what we know' IvanPer4 is a lying hack and knows less about guns than anyone
Why are you not addressing the authoritarian regime trying to take away the rights of law abiding citizens? What about the mental health of the citizens? Seems you too share the fantasy of disarming us.
It’s not the guns it’s the people that have mental issues getting them!!!
So it's OK to require psychiatrists to mandatory report to law enforcement to prevent psychopaths from buying guns then.
Because guns are not the problem. It’s a Godless society with fatherless children, the destruction of the nuclear family, SSRI now taken by children, illegal drugs, violent video games and movies, the worshipping of musicians with sick lyrics. That’s the real issues.
Waiting for the article about the shooter and how evil they were… But I know that won’t get published.
Let's start with banning murder and see if that works first
So this was a domestic terrorism attack on Christians. Done by the lbgt mafia.
Fake news, Tennessee still has background checks. It’s federal law! 🤦♂️
Stop trying to justify the actions of a mentally ill trans terrorist
There hasn't been a single change to Tennessee gun laws that contributed in any way, shape, or form to this shooting. You're deliberately misleading your audience.
Vote out those who weakened them.
Lmao nothing mentioned in this article had anything to do with the shooting. Way to use a tragedy to push. An agenda.
It’s not the gun that kills, it’s the flag. Remember? You were there. 🏳️⚧️
Hunter biden bought a gun illegally and should be in JAIL. go after him or STFU. ABC
Yeeee Hawwww
We know the Nashville shooter passed background checks at 5 different stores. Now what?
And yet this sick violent Trans thing viciously attacked a group of God Fearing Christians. What policies created this Monster?
Maybe we should pass a law that red flags gender dysphoria as a disqualifying condition for purchasing a firearm?
An inanimate object did not cause this tragedy. Dangerous gender ideology is what motivated that trans terrorist to commit this evil act.
We know that gun free zones are still targets.
but yet the teachers had no guns. Can we please arm them FIRST?
There needs to be communication Between te medical industry and law enforcement.. if your undergoing mental illness treatment, meds, then you need to be on a list! No gun purchases!!!!!
Take the armed protection from politicians and put them in schools. There you go problem solved fake media.
Murder and attempted murder with a firearm is still illegal
So called White people are the problem but t since they refuse to see this and take accountability for once for their immoral behaviors more children will find GUNS and more children and innocent people will be victims of random shootings. Who creates GUNS ? And why ?
More illegal guns in Blue Cities than Red States
What we know is!!! Laws will change when they mourn their baby's...
Republicans are making the argument for gun laws and don’t even realize it. They say it’s mental Illness. If we have a mental illness problem why are you not passing red flag laws that take guns away from mentally Ill people?
Notice how they never write articles about the rise in mental illness, or the rise in left wing political violence, or prescription drug use or hormonal injections.
You will never get the guns with out winning a civil war first. You may as well stop talking about it. It’s not happening. Ever. Fafo
Here's what we know about ABC News, It's owned by Disney, a company determined to push anti Christian rhetoric and supports sexualized Drag shows for Children.
Hey abc. Gfys.
Republican lawmakers
Y’all would never mention the progressive woman who gets elected mayor of Nashville and murders go from 40 to 107 in 3 years because they started giving probation for serious crimes because of equity or some other slogan
That's because universal background checks are illegal and permits implies permission that you do not need because it is not required by the second amendment.
Another reason not to visit Tennessee
So after being called out for the obvious lie the last time you post this, you post the same thing again?
YOU HAVE CHILDREN BEING MURDERED IN YOUR COUNTRY. ARE YOU LISTENING CAN YOU HEAR US ? CHILDREN… ARE BEING MURDERED.
This FUChtard would have gotten his transexual guns with the 'more strict' gun laws put forth by democrats!! We need to take you people out of the 'news' business 🖕
Mental health checks?
What else might explain the shooting? Hmm…
Predictive Analytics, (Giffords) REDFLAG of prevention. She bought 7 guns in a short period. Who buys that amount of guns, a future Active Shooter or a gun dealer. Why didn't the system's Firewall go off? ATF intervene Interview Buyer, Family, & Assoc., Mental Health check.
mAGa idiots.
The NRA must have bought some new politicians.
3 mass shootings in Nashville this year… I wonder how many mass shootings in the whole state for the year…. It’s not even 90 days in yet
*After months of ABC lying to viewers that there's a war on trans people, a trans person committed mass murder*
Respect my pronouns, chud!
But you blame the weapons used?
Still have to pass federal background check
japan and korea
Should be more strict. Mentally ill or unstable people like this transgender shooter should not be permitted to carry guns and gun down school children.
When will congress do their job for the people instead of spending time trying to defend and protect the lying and cheating ex-President Trump. Our children are dying because of them. One citizen-one gun should be the law and no assault weapons for everyday citizens.
Done with Congress, and the Senate and all supposed “lawmakers of the US Government letamericavote on assaultweaponsban majority rules. Let’s see where this goes. Vote now!
How to fix CRAZY? FOCUS - Solve it: Harden schools like Gov offices, add armed security like Gov offices. The shooter had 2 targets & chose the SOFTEST TARGET. POTUS Shooter under mental healthcare. Shooter targets pastor’s daughter & chose Suicide By Cop.
How in this day and age is that even possible not to have back ground checks ? What century you guys in down there ?
If Audrey had no criminal record then she still would've been able to buy guns. Nobody reported her, but she should've been flagged by her parents. She lived at home.
All these shootings have one common thread. All on psych meds. Guns have existed for how long? Nothing has been more obvious than the fact that more gun restrictions lead to more crime
CBS we find out about unlawful gun ownership in crimes and how this person obtained their weapons? Aside from all out ban what law would have stopped this and majority of death by gun events?
Mental health background check goes against Hippa ! Get it YET?!
Only evil hater's justifies the necessity for GUNS, just as only those same followers blames assault rifles as the problem and banning them is the solution to random shootings.those same followers refuse to see & say that hand GUN killings are the problem
There is no law in any State that would have prevented her from buying a gun. She had no criminal record and her mental health history is protected.
Well that headline is a complete lie... No state can do away with background checks, it's a federal requirement. As far as permits go, 15+ states have approved constitutional carry and have not seen any increase in shootings except with existing criminals who don't follow laws
Parents need to start actually being involved in their kids’ lives. They need to start paying attention. The fact that this persons parents knew their kid bought a gun, was in treatment and didn’t report if to the MHP is absolutely reckless.
So it’s the gun laws in Tennessee that made the transgender cuckoo kill children, OK !
How does requiring a permit stop crime? You think the felons who commit 90% of gun crime care about permits? Not to mention if you can legally buy a gun you can already qualify for a permit. How does adding a middle man stop crime?
How many US children have been killed by gun in USA this century versus soldiers in armed conflict? The US needs a war on guns.
Until the left wing 'news journalist', , CBSNews, NBCNews . etc., start holding those responsible, the shooter, usually with mental illness, who is known by family & friends, these horrible things will keep happening....
GMA 'abc news is today reporting that federal background checks run by the fbi are worthless, ineffective, and may as well be repealed.'
When is everyone going to understand that this is a MENTAL ILLNESS CRISIS!!!
We have a problem
Republicans don't believe in guns laws because they accept the NRA fantasy that good people with guns will always be there to stop bad people with guns.
Such a miss leading headline
This is disingenuous garbage.
People are unhinged today and are breaking down like never in history. No fear and a sound mind is attainable and a promise if you seek it!
'Republican Lawmakers' Fact ABC fact
Oh CommunityNotes !
GMA Disgusting! It’s sick!
A Background check could have prevented deaths at that school in Tennessee. Why was the shooter's right to own multiple weapons valued more than the lives they took yesterday?
No assault weapon? What weapons were used? No mention of that anywhere. Purchased leagally too?
Here’s what we know about less strict gun laws… the politicians supporting them are funded by the NRA, gun/ammo lobby so they can stay in power. Your kindergarten, 9 year only matters when they are in the womb, where they get funded by prolife evangelicals. Follow the money
😠
When you have paid NRA representatives in the Tennessee legislature what do you expect?
Trans people should have to get a license to inject hormones and report their locations to the police.
What triggered an otherwise educated artist to kill kids and teachers at a school GUARENTEE not the gun.
Show the results from the States that have the most strict gun requirements & by-laws. Publish the 'truth'. Don't whitewash results. Stop trying to remove American's 2nd Amendment rights in the Constitution.
Irving at all in TN’s gun laws or federal gun laws or any other state’s gun laws that would have presented the shooter from legally owning a firearm.
ABC should reprimand jane fonda for what she said. Now it's to late.
What do you know about mental illness, transgender ism and fatherless homes?
It doesn't help that we're also in a mental health crisis. Guns are not recommended at any time, but especially not when mental health issues are involved. GunSafetyNow mentalhealth
Days ahead will explain what we do today
Guns 4 all
Might need to rewrite headline. Every store gun purchase requires a background check. No wonder no one trusts the media anymore.
Tennessee GUNS LAWS have become less strict TENNESSEE IS ON MY SHIT LIST OF TOXIC STATES ...
She got guns illegally ☝️
A universal background check would have prevented her from buying guns and a majority of the country wants but the NRA so GOP just throws their hands in air and promises to continue to put weapons of war in the hands of mentally ill people! GopAmericanTaliban GOPGunsOverPeople
Transition to democratic terrorism.
When we're backround checks removed? When has tennesee required a 'permit' to purchase a gun? This is incredibly deceptive
They still have to follow federal laws and do federal form 4473 and NICS. This is why People hate our media because they're dishonest.
Nothing to say about Jane Fonda advocating for murder on your channel?
here’s what we know….
In other countries owning let alone purchasing a gun and obtaining a license, it’s as getting an A.A degree. Gun nuts should unite in this one , no study or exam. 😂 Wau, removing requirements for permits and background checks. Wow, the audacity😂🤣
Lock up all trans. Frauds
It is much too easy for law abiding people to buy guns. Every mass shooter had a clean record, so yes, the issue is that it’s too easy for people to get their hands on them.
Why do responsible gun owners think they need access to a weapon designed to kill/maim as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time. You don’t need a weapon of war to defend your home or take out the bad guy. Police and military might, but not your average gun owner.
Ok but Federal law dictates background checks for firearm purchases. An FFL dealer would lose his/her license if they were selling guns with out performing BG checks, whether state law says it’s necessary or not. Nice reporting ABC
Isn’t the problem big pharma drugs?
Yet you won't report on mental illness that is the root cause of this violence. Guns don't shoot themselves.
We know the shooter had an extensive history of mental health problems and they still bought several guns.
Blame the shooter and the shooter only.
Murder is still illegal, right? Targeting someone based on religion is a hate crime?
Why don’t our lawmakers care about our children?
