Tennessee Democrats yesterday announced an eight-stop bus tour to begin next week in Memphis and finish in Nashville for the start of the special legislative session, reports WKRN. House Democratic Caucus Chair John Ray Clemmons, D-Nashville, said the tour is meant to encourage public debate about meaningful gun control ahead of the session. Sen. Charlane Oliver, D-Nashville, noted that "this is not new. The statistics are not new ... What is new is the opportunity to turn tragedy into policy action.” The state is receiving public comments in advance of the special session via this form.
