====Tennessee school shooting response====
On March 28, 2023, Burchett responded to the [[2023 Nashville school shooting|Covenant School shooting]], where three nine-year-old students and three staff members were killed in Nashville, by telling reporters: "It's a horrible, horrible situation, and we're not going to fix it. Criminals are gonna be criminals. And my daddy fought in the [[World War II|second world war]], fought in the [[Pacific theater of World War II|Pacific]], fought the Japanese, and he told me, he said, 'Buddy,' he said, 'if somebody wants to take you out, and doesn't mind losing their life, there's not a whole heck of a lot you can do about it.'" Burchett also said he sees no "real role" for Congress in reducing gun violence, other than to "mess things up".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Wong |first=Julia Carrie |author-link=Julia Carrie Wong |date=March 28, 2023 |title=Republican congressman says 'we're not going to fix' school shootings |language=en-GB |work=[[The Guardian]] |url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/28/tim-burchett-republican-nashville-shooting |access-date=May 8, 2023 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>
