The bill's sponsor, Sen. Joey Hensley from Hohenwald, said his legislation doesn't prevent any other proposal from passing. The bill passed the House ahead of the March 27 shooting at The Covenant School.
The Tennessee bill spells out a half-dozen situations in which gun and ammo companies could be held civilly liable in Tennessee state courts, exempting others. Last year, Remington, the company that made the rifle used in the the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut, settled with the families of those killed in the shooting for $73 million. The families had accused the company of targeting younger, at-risk males in advertising and product placement in violent video games.
It makes sense! If and axe was used should the hardware store or the manufacturer be held liable or the person that used the axe?
the Answer is simple !!! update schools to be as well protected as banks with metal detectors and armed security !!!! problem solved !!! how often do you hear somebody walking into a bank with a gun anymore ? almost never !!! teachers should have panic buttons, just like banks…
Ah, the Tennessee legislature: listening to the people.
Unbelievable! Wtf is wrong with this country
