Nashville Marks Covenant School Shooting Anniversary with Human Chain for Gun Reform

Thousands gathered in a call for legislative change, reflecting a year of healing and unmet demands for safer gun laws.

Thousands in Nashville formed a human chain to honor the Covenant School shooting victims and call for gun reform, marking the one-year anniversary of the tragedy.
The event, organized by Voices for a Safer Tennessee, aimed to strengthen policies for safer communities, amid Tennessee's unchanged gun laws since the shooting.
Participants expressed a mix of hope and skepticism towards legislative change, highlighting the need for education on gun safety and stronger safe storage laws.
The Covenant School community continues to heal, finding solace in solidarity, faith, and the adoption of over 70 dogs for comfort.
Despite the push for reform, Tennessee's legislature has resisted significant changes to gun access, with some parents and advocates feeling their pleas go unheard.
