Last night, the General Assembly adjourned sine die from its 2023 legislative session. This session, the House passed House Bill 542, to ensure that law-abiding adults are not stripped of their right to self-defense when they cross an arbitrary boundary onto a college campus.

The tragedy at the Covenant School in Nashville marked America’s 131st mass shooting of the year, just 86 days into 2023.
