"So many gun deaths are preventable,' Rabbi Craig Lewis of the Mizpah Congregation said. 'The US is the only country where there are more guns than people. If more guns made us safer we would absolutely be the safest country in the world, yet we are far from it. This year to date on June 2nd we have already experienced over 200 mass shootings.

It is clear that there is policy that does work and it's what we need in our home state of Tennessee."
