A new mobile billboard in Tennessee criticizes Governor Bill Lee for his support of a proposed bill that would allow guns to be carried without a permit, while touting opposition to the measure from law enforcement groups.

The ad, which was released by the Everytown for Gun Safety advocacy group, features a picture of Lee as well as two police officers.
"Our lawmakers claim to support law enforcement, but law enforcement doesn't support this. Oppose permitless carry," the billboard says.
Despite Lee's support for the legislation, which the billboard and statement from Everytown for Gun Safety point out, a number of organizations have publicly opposed permitless carry, including the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Tennessee Sheriffs' Association and the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police.
