Will Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee Fight As Hard For Red Flag Laws As He Did To Ban Drag Shows?

Amid last month's school shooting Nashville and the protests which have followed, Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee signed an executive order expanding background checks and called upon the GOP controlled legislature to implement red flag laws. 

The question is how vigorously Lee will see to it that red flag laws are passed. Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton (the same man who led the charge to expel Democratic legislators Justin Jones and Justin Pearson from the state legislature) dismisses red flag laws as gun confiscation. This is nonsense because a person facing gun confiscation would have their day in court. But Sexton strikes me as the sort of fellow who like too many Republicans is not amenable to reason.

Let me put it another way will Governor Lee fight as vigorously for the implementation of red flag laws as he did for the banning of drag shows? A red flag law will save lives. Banning drag shows won't. 

So I have my doubts. However, one of the victims at the Covenant School was a close friend of Lee's wife. As such Lee might be facing pressure from home on this one.
