Career politician Tim Burchett, R-Tenn, drew accusations of defeatism over his refusal to address gun control following Monday’s mass shooting in Nashville that left seven people dead at a Christian private school.
“We’re not gonna’ fix it,” Burchett told reporters Tuesday. “Criminals are gonna be criminals.”
Three 9-year-old students and a trio faculty members in their 60s died at The Covenant School when Audrey Hale — a 28-year-old Nashville resident being treated for an undisclosed emotional disorder — opened fire shortly after 10 a.m. Hale, carrying three legally purchased guns, was killed by police.
