Bill Lee will call a special legislative session to address gun reform nearly a month after a mass shooting at a Nashville school -- an unusual step for a Republican. Just hours after lawmakers gaveled out of session, Lee said he'll be calling them back to "pursue thoughtful, practical solutions to keep Tennesseans safe." State legislators adjourned on Friday with no action on gun reform, and Lee did not offer an official date for lawmakers' return to the state Capitol. PHOTO: Tennessee Reps.
