Six people died Monday at Coventry School shooting in Nashville, Tenn., in this year’s 130th U.S. mass shooting, which is defined as a shooting in which four or more people are killed.
With each shooting comes a renewed call for lawmakers on Capitol Hill to address the violence, which differs based on partisan lines. Broadly speaking, Democrats have called for stricter gun control regulations, such as reinstating an assault weapons ban. Republicans have called for measures such as arming teachers and say more attention needs to be paid to mental health, which they attribute as the source of the bloodshed.
The difference can be seen in Arizona’s congressional delegation. Only one Republican member of the Arizona delegation responded to The Arizona Republic’s requests for comment.
Here’s what others in the delegation said about the Nashville shooting.
