There’s trouble in Tennessee.
According to a Fox News report, three Democrat lawmakers have joined an invasion of the Tennessee state capitol to protest gun violence after the school shooting at Covenant Elementary School in Nashville that killed six people, including three children.
From Fox News:
Chants of “no justice, no peace” and “save our children” echoed through the Tennessee House of Representatives chamber as pro-gun control protesters posted up both inside and outside the state capitol building.
Three Democrat state lawmakers — Reps. Justin Jones, Justin Pearson, and Gloria Johnson — brought the Tennessee lower chamber to a halt when they joined in chanting with the protesters.
“Power to the people,” Jones yelled through a megaphone on the chamber floor.
The protests followed a Wednesday night candle vigil for the six people slain at the Covenant School in Nashville.
Protesters called for an assault weapon ban in the wake of the mass shooting, and federal lawmakers representing Tennessee are taking action.
U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn and Bill Haggerty, both Republicans from Tennessee, announced on Thursday they will be introducing the Securing Aid for Every (SAFE) School Act following the mass shooting.
