Sooooooo....what your saying now is thar protesting into the capitol is not an insurrection THIS time BUT it was on the Jan 6th??
Delusional
yes, you're getting it
It's about the laws we break along the way.
Guns don't kill people, the murders will use a knife when guns are outlawed and then the victim will have no defense.
Or bombs. People act like the Oklahoma City bombing didn't happen.
On 04-05-2023, there was a mass homicide attack at a school in Brazil. The suspect used a hatchet to kill 4 children and wound 5 children, before surrendering to police.
Question: Would you rather fight an attacker wielding a gun or a knife?
@@joenull5945 Exactly, if it's not guns criminals and mentally unwell people will literally just use another weapon.
I mean, a while back Canada had a mass stabbing where 15 people were killed and I think another 10 were injured. That's at least on par with some of the worst mass shootings in the US.
@@scarecrow7953 don’t know, but I’d love to have a gun to defend myself
Be prepared. There is going to be a lot of unprecedented things happening over the next couple of years.
No no nooo dnt start that bullsh*+ I’m not gonna let u do that ….. u leftist communist racist democrats did this u set this precedent y’all started this shi+ so sit the phock down now
Like what do you predict
The levels of crime and mental health disease is already unprecedented.
That's been the case for decades. What's so special about the "next couple of years"?
I hate saying it, I don't want to think it, but the Marxists will only get uglier from here on out and I know it. I do not think Trump will be president unfortunately. Bragg just opened up a huge can of worms. The new election system is in place. It scares me honestly and I have no power to change any of it.
With changes in the economy leading to instability in the stock market, some individuals may face a decrease in their investments in an effort to benefit from the current market conditions, I am considering liquidating my $725k portfolio consisting of bonds and stocks. Someone else in the same situation? Please tell me in the comments!..
would suggest you thoroughly evaluate the companies you have invested in and their estimated future performance, as we may expect to see the market decline further. To minimize stress and improve efficiency, it might be wise to seek the assistance of an investment advisor to help restructure your portfolio and identify any underperforming investments to offset. This approach has been successful for me and has reduced my stress levels.

Politicians who refuse to uphold the Constitution should face expulsion at minimum
Mitch McConnell... not taking up his duty to start confirmation hearings on Merrick Garland. He should be expelled.
Every single republican who reported the Big Lie was not upholding the Constitution. They all should be expelled.
Execution minimum
Same with politicians that get bought by the NRA
Like the first Amendment... making the actions taken today unconstitutional! Be careful what you wish for!
Almost all would be gone...
Any legislator that tried to go against the constitution should be jailed
See the insurrection on Jan6
See trying to overturn the election
See the man who said maybe they should do away with the Constitution.
I totally agree. Jail them all.
Tried to go against ? Their actions are protected by the literal First Amendment. 🫡
I believe it's technically Treason
Gun control reform isn’t a violation of 2nd amendment rights. Anyone that is content with the lives of children being in danger should be jailed. Mentally unwell people shouldn’t be allowed to have access to firearms. Have you not noticed the pattern of these massacres?
@@jaaqess2525 Well secure the schools with retired military 🪖 or police officers then.
Looks like an insurrection to me
hm didn't see them busting out any windows, looting and smearing poop all over the walls. Nor did I see them bring in any weapons, zip ties, pepper spray etc, etc, I think you get the picture. Sorry but I do not think that you can compare the two, not by a long shot.
I guess they forget they work for the people and their agendas
They work for the districts they represent. Not "the people". If their districts didn't want "that type of person" elected then they shouldn't have elected them. In case you're not aware, the nation is divided, and there is no "people" in any collective sense, and they sure AF don't agree on any "agenda".
No. They actually didn’t.
Nah, they didn't forget, they're just corrupted by the people paying them to loosen gun laws.
Not at all. They are doing what they are there to do. To speak up for the people who voted for them.
Those communists can get out of my state.
They should have been thrown into jail, with no bond hearing and sit there for two years, just like they did to us Conservatives , what comes around goes around!
What is this retaliation crap? If you violently enter the Capitol steamrolling law enforcement forcing legislators to hide, you deserve jail. No one's out to get you. When are you conservatives going to quit playing victim. Quit standing for fascism and keeping it the way it is so more children are killed in mass shootings.
Why focus on gun control when you should be trying to increase security in schools! That shooter chose that school due to the lack of security. A criminal will find what they need to harm somebody even if we take away everything from them!
Exactly
No they didn’t, they chose it because it was their school
No, the main focus is gun control, mental health and bad parenting. What happens when teachers carry guns. What if a kid happens to find the gun in her desk? What if the teacher has a mental episode?
That active shooter was not a criminal until then, they were legally allowed to buy 6 or 7 guns. Even then backround checks are not consistent so a criminal can LEGALLY buy guns.
Ya'll have completely lost touch with reality...
The house better label these shootings hate Crimes !
Transgender crime?
Yes!
This is what happens s when you try and make the criminal out to be the victim.
being a criminal is when you peacefully protest
They are not raising the voice of their district. THEY CAN NOT and WILL NOT TAKE MY RIGHTS AWAY!
Wtf are you talking about? Which rights are being taken away from you? Moron
Can't see the comment on here, they must have blocked me.
It's only getting worse; nobody has anything under control. It's chaos everywhere. There's going to come a time God is going to intervene.
It’s just like being back in my high school world history class. It’s not the most downtrodden who start the civil war, it’s those who had been close to power who see their privilege faltering.
This is exactly why activists don't belong in any position of government.
@@masonorosco1090 America was founded by activists?? The people who protested the rule of law under Britain? Braindead take.
@Black Out Sun. : False
You only know what other people have spoon fed to you. Life is just theory for people like yourself. And when reality interrupts your fantasy, you'll be unprepared. You won't be a safe distance from reality if war comes here, so maybe you should think more and talk less. You might find that all your talk starts getting other people ready to act.
@@wrongfullyaccused7139 Yeah, they're full of bs!
Deserved. They were voted to do a job. They then clearly were not doing that job and broke the rules. If laws were described as screaming matches it would be long until people start crushing each other’s throats.
INNNNNNNNNSURRECTION!!!
The Nashville shooter, obtained the guns legally, no law passed would have been able to stop him/her from doing what he/she did. Red flag law? No one knew until the last minute. Red flag law would not have worked. AWB? She/he would have just made a bomb, plus a AWB are being overturned as being unconstitutional anyways. The point is, no law would have stopped her/him from doing what he/she did.
Mass murders will continue ie to happen until which time everyone is willing to take responsibility for taking care of our loved ones. In her/his case. Her family failed, her friends failed, the school failed. Period.
As I understand that weren't bought legally. Not supposed to purchase a firearm if under a doctor's care for mental issues.
The United States is the only industrialized country where this happens regularly. Try again.
@@C-Culper4874 Wrong. You have to be adjudicated as a mental defective by a court first, usually through involuntary committment.
@@C-Culper4874 They lied on their Form 4473 about being treated for mental illness. So technically the guns were bought illegally, though this seems to be a failure of the government system, as it's the FBI that conducts the background checks.
They had a bullhorn leading people into the chambers, interrupting normal procedures? That sounds like an insurrection!
It is
This looks like a violent uprising against government? Suuuuure, then why were only the black men expelled?
You righttards have lost your minds. If you support authoritarians calling school children exercising their fist amendment rights an insurrection, move to Russia. You’ll like it better there.
Mostly peaceful protest. Just lacking the flames.
An insurrection is when you don’t belong!!! They belonged there. Also they did nothing violent and their mics were turned off when they tried to speak
I believe he was expelled for breaking the rules, not for protesting

No one stands for anything anymore. Just go off their feelings and whatever the popular political climate is at the moment. Accountability is a good thing
God Bless Tennessee ❤❤

Hey you can try to amend the Constitution…..nah my way or “you’re a fascist”!!!!! You have become what you claim to hate or maybe you never wanted peace and Justice but revenge and too watch it all burn (BLM/ANTIFA)
Yeah because banning assault weapons will stop mass shootings exactly like making cocaine illegal stopped cocaine usage
Democrats promise the world and deliver nothing. Thoughts and prayers are infinitely more than your side has to offer.
Democrats: “disarmament and subjugation, that’s all you need”
with whats going on around the world, Americans needs to keep their guns for protection.

Oh, it is the continuation of what has been a concerted effort by Republican politicians to downplay January 6th. You water it down the more you compare it to small, less serious moments like these. It is a strategy they have utilized for decades for various reasons, unfortunately.
Yes it did. Even worse
You're right the cops were actually trying to maintain order.
@@snakeey3zhiphop 😂😂😂😂
Looked just like it but with out usa 🇺🇸 flags ..
Lucky they dint bring a ussr comunist flag
Very suprice
Guns are a tool. Like a hammer. it is who has it and how he uses it.
My country won't allow people to use a chainsaw.
The tools maybe not fit for children and many can create lost limbs and fingers.
There are people still being held without bail that were escorted into the capital by police on 1/6 and did nothing violent. What’s the difference?
They were elected officials and have a right to be there, the others were not supposed to be at the capital after it was found to not be peaceful. Duh
Still trying to figure out what an "assault weapon" is.... 🤔
They’re just “gun profiling”. Looks scary, so it must be. SMH
Use google....its not hard to figure out my guy
Anything can be, hands are considered weapons with the right training, any lawmakers pushing to ban hands? They definitely hurt people daily
Bahahah. I know . You could take any object and make it an assault weapon if you assault someone.
How about a military rifle converted to semi automatic
Why would lawmakers be protesting? They are the ones responsible for the laws in the state.
@Nomen Clature no they didn’t don’t spread bs fascist lies
The laws only get passed if more people than not vote yes. It usually ends up republicans won't vote democrat and vice versa.
the people of tn have had enuf thots and prayers u doddlin fools. we want action, we want legislation. the fascists that expel the representatives the citizens of tn voted for is just another step towards fascism. this is it folks. america is fucked
Because the republicans control it, Bought and paid for by NRA. Only the people can change the laws now. The republicans are hypocrites. They tried to overthrow democracy to install a dictatorship. These democrats want to stop kids from dying. A HUGE DIFFERENCE
So they can distract from the mental issues responsible for the gun violence and blame it on guns. Bring back mental institutions
"Legislators expelled after attempted insurrection" There, fixed it for you.
I'm really starting to see why gun control will not solve the issue....
This is not the first time they have done this but the media ain’t going to say anything about that
- Did you listen to the news report? They literally said this isn't the first time. So the news did literally report this. Be well.
They were removed because it was an insurrection. They lured people into the chamber to shout and chant until they got their way, as an active session was taking place.
@@WNActivist88 Yup. 2 got removed for inciting it. The old white lady didn't incite it until after the session ended.
@@WNActivist88 Insurrection?! Did you come up with that on you own or are you repeating sound bytes? Got news for you, the state legislature sent a message to sit down and shut up to the entire state -including YOU. Odd, how the White lady did not get expelled. This is frightening and you resort to insurrection talk? I wonder if you were one of the apologists for the real insurrectionists on January 6? Please reconsider your thoughts, even the most blind can see this for what it was-or did Tennessee return to the 1850’s?
This is one of the few instance where a politican is punished for criminal behavoir. Maybe there is hope for the states
I can't believe it. But I'm glad the Republicans finally held their ground.
Breaking decorum rules, during a recess, is not criminal. Technically not even against their rules.
@revenge4468 You don't realize what kind of can this has opened up. Free speech after 8 yo kids murdered. Our Republic is not even close to being a Democracy. It hasn't been for years now, but to call our nation a Democracy is a fucking joke
Their actions were covered under the First Amendment, let's hope he sues.
Huh? You need to go back to 9th grade civics class. The legislators did not do anything criminal. They disrupted a legislative session.
And the clown Republican who said this was like the Jan 6th insurrection is a moron. These legislators did not assault police or smash their way into Congress.
I’m a registered Independent and try to stay neutral between Republicans and Democrats, but despicable behavior from Republicans sometimes makes it really hard.
Imagine all the guards we could of hired for our schools ...... if we hadn't sent billions to Ukraine....

On J6, the Police allowed and escorted the “insurrectionists” inside. Here, they forced their way in and used children as human shields. You tell me which one is worse.

Good. That’s not how elected officials act. You don’t bring in a loudspeaker to get you points across. Grow up.
That's not a protest. That was a insurrection
Youre a fool. And a part of the problem
No, that’s representatives using a megaphone inside the chambers (in case you didn’t notice, that doesn’t have anything to do with disrupting the democratic process)
@dontcallmedean It's a insurrection.
Ask the politician that was barricaded and blocked inside the restroom and needed the police to come
At least they weren’t put in jail for six months without a trial for their “insurrection”.
Doug, these three legislators were protesting lax gun laws that led to children being murdered in their school. The January 6 insurrectionists were attempting to overthrow the duly-elected U.S. government. There is simply no comparison. This kind of idiotic false equivalency is why Republicans keep losing elections, Doug.
Do you really believe that saying this was an entirely different situation is a false distinction?
Lets be real what happened on Washington was an "insurrection" what they did was for "bull" and a lie that was spread by a liar. These Representatives were choosing to stand for gun laws that are killing kids. Seems to me that no matter what you idiots do wrong, like not passing gun control cause its big business, you punish the ones who have the courage to stand up. "Insurrection" my "butt." Mitchell Brown is right go to the polls and get them out of their just like you did the last devil.
Yeah. No solitary confinement. Or waiting a year to have a hearing.
@@remy7721 completely the same thing. The people on Jan 6th wanted to protest the election results. These people want to protest for gun control.
You don't get to dictate which cause makes your action just. Either they all are, or none are.
Yeah well tough shyte…remember what I’ve been hearing for 6 months, no one is above the law
Rules of decorum are not the law and wouldn’t result in criminal charges. Also, decorum rules don’t apply during recess, when the incident occurred.
@@stephaniecornwell8766 let me kindly rephrase: everyone is responsible for their bullshyte and sometimes have to suffer the consequences. As did your three misinformed lads…
Insurrection in Tennessee capitol.
They were expelled because they acted against their oath, they have to uphold the second amendment with a lid like it or not, this was an act of rebellion, they had to be expelled, shame on them.
An act of rebellion? A bullhorn and words?
or
Pressuring states to overturn an election and sending your "people" to the Capitol where several people died. Which one is the true act of rebellion?????
Finally someone holding these people accountable for acting a fool
I can see this statement in different angles. Whos the people and whos the fool?
These people. What does that mean, these people?
This is a unique way of using your words.
Who is these people
@Nomen Clature So breaking laws is bad. Got it. Would it... possibly... be too far of a stretch to say someone doing this but far, far worse, with declarations of "Hang Mike Pence" would *also* be bad?
GET THEM OUTTA HERE!!!
Damn Right they NEEDED expelled. They broke into and took over the TN State Capitol . IE Jan 6 .
Expel them, and then prosecute them !!!!!
Expelled FOR INCITING A RIOT. Fixed it for ya.
But neither they nor the protestors posed physical harm to one another or to cops, nor did they cause any physical damage to the capitol. So then what are your thoughts on Mango Mussolini, Alex Jones, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and the January 6 rag-tag "patriots?"
They were expelled because the broke the house rules!
We need to continue to take these criminals out they are typical
Criminals? For having a bullhorn and interrupting a meeting?
You mean the criminal Republicans, right? For a second there I thought you were referring to the three Democrats exercising their right to peacefully protest.

How in the WORLD is banning assault weapons going to deter CRIMINALS
No it’ll stop nut jobs from school shootings. Even violent gang members know there are places that are untouchable like school or places of worship but for psychos those are the optimum targets.
Have a look at australia
@@Secularworld60 homicide rates have increased in Australia.
@@Secularworld60 Yeah no. I looked at Australia on Macrotrends, their assault weapon ban occured in 1996, and the real decline of overall homocides didnt start til 2002. When abortion was cracked down on in Texas not long ago, the number of abortions got cut in half in a matter of months, so I dont see why you wouldnt see results just as immediate with homocides from banning certain guns in Australia, instead it took years. And you cant make the case with female gun homocides either since that consistent decline started 6 years prior to the ban. There’s also a UN study that associates the decline in overall homocides more with the fact that people are drinking and drugging up less. And I dont typically trust the UN, but I know the left does. So yeah, there is a decline in homocides in Australia and that’s great, but I have serious doubts that has anything to do with their gun policy.
@@Secularworld60 australia has a sample size of one mass shooting...how can you draw a conclusion from that?
america has 20 MILLION AR15'S and they account for less than 2% of gun deaths, 2/3 of those are suicides and accidents.
for every one that harms someone there are 67,000 of them that are harmless and are defending their law-abiding owners.
what's your plan...you're going to have the ATF kick in thousands of doors, kill thousands of dogs, and create thousands of ruby ridges...to stop one homicide in inner city chicago...
ok fella...say that if you want...doesnt make you the good guy
Tennessee should have kicked miss racism out too
Isn't this called an insurrection if we're holding it to the same standards? They even attacked an official.
Yeah the Republican attacked Justin because he had his camera phone out and he was angry that all the kids in the state seem to be turning up and screaming and they are going to be old enough to vote soon.
He literally hit him pretty hard and I'm surprised that there's no charges
It’s call mostly peaceful protesting when Democrats do it. 😂
Yes it’s an insurrection
Non violent protest against gun violence vs violent gun wielding mob aiming to kill people and stop a democratic process

Insurrection
J 6th was allegedly led to fight against some stealing of democracy from voters... that's exactly what the GOP just did by expelling people's reps without legitimacy. Only this is real and not a Trump lie. The protest for sensible gun laws was not an insurrection, but insurrection sometimes is deserved. History isn't over. Defend against fascism. This is why we have to second amendment to defend against what the GOP just did. The GOP is moving to expel the #TennesseeThree for having a different opinion and for forcefully protesting peacefully to demand that children stop being killed by lack of reasonable gun control. The GOP is claiming they are doing so because the three broke the rules - while using the rules to break democracy. This is a watershed moment of whether the GOP is allowed to turn the letter of the law against the spirit of the law so forcefully that it allows them to take control of representation outside the power of voting. #2ndamendment #freespeech #protest #constitution #fascism #GOP #Tennessee #guncontrol
I love how most of y’all think taking guns away would stop this, but if we put more security or police officers in the schools they wouldn’t dare enter or have trouble entering the building. If you take guns away it can still be bought again illegally. Think smarter not harder.
Who's f'ing taking your guns away!!! You guys are so afraid to lose your toys.
However we can do this: Make it so you must be part of a militia which is the exact wording of the 2nd Amendment. An organized, registered group of gun owners responsible for defending the country in times of war. Let's get your militia registered!
Exactly!! These people against guns do not stop to think majority of the US government officials have gun toting security…why is that?? To protect themselves and we the people deserve to have that sane protection in our homes and armed security should be protecting the schools like they protect the white house. A nefarious gunman would rethink shooting a school if it is armed!! It’s simple in my mind the children in schools deserve the same protection a Whotehouse government thug deserves.
These things don’t happen where guns are restricted. But people like you think guns don’t kill.
You people will never stop being ignorant as hell. Why does no other country have this issue? It’s not security
I bet a dime to donut you don't smoke cigarettes and that you don't see many others smoking cigarettes. It isn't about guns it's about attitudes. Gun culture; not gun culture. Truth be told you'd probably not last long in a dog eat dog free for all gun culture.
They leave out so many details lol.
From another user:
If you’ve seen any news you’ve probably seen by now that three democrat members of the Tennessee House of Representatives were accused of breaking the rules of The House. Two were expelled, one was not. The accusation made against them was that on March 30 Justin Jones, Gloria Johnson, and Justin Pearson went to the well of the House chamber while they were in session without being called, and with bullhorn in hand began chanting and screaming because they had exceeded their allotted time in a gun control debate and wanted to keep speaking.
House members passed a resolution to call a hearing and a vote to decide whether or not to expel the three members for their blatant disregard for the rules of decorum within the House chambers while in session. On April 6 that hearing was held. Each of the three representatives were allowed to make an opening statement to explain their actions, then answer questions from the other members of The House, followed by a closing statement. The three members were allowed to be cross examined and allowed to present video evidence from that day.
A vote was held after each member was afforded this opportunity. Two of the three, Justin Jones, and Justin Pearson were expelled. Gloria Johnson was not. In typical leftist fashion, Democrats are claiming that racism was the deciding factor because Gloria Johnson is white while Justin Jones and Justin Pearson are black. The real reason is far from that. Here are the facts of what happened during that hearing.
First, Justin Jones was called to the well to make his statement. Doing his best to sound like a 1960s civil rights activist, Jones went on a 20 minute tirade claiming that he was being lynched, that white people and Donald Trump are the reason for gun violence in America, and that he did nothing wrong when he rushed the house floor with two of his colleagues and used a bullhorn to drown out the objections of the other representatives. During the question phase he was allowed to show a video of that incident which confirmed that he used a bullhorn to shout over the other members. After this Jones repeated many of his race baiting remarks during his closing statement. A vote was held and a tally of 72-25 resulted in his expulsion.
Next Gloria Johnson was called to the well. During her opening statement Johnson read the names of the six people killed in the Nashville school shooting. She then accepted responsibility for going to the well without being called and apologized. She refuted the claim that she was shouting over other members of the House. The video previously shown confirmed this as she mostly just stood there with Jones and Pearson. During questioning and in her closing remarks she made the case, humbly, that while her actions were wrong she hoped the body of the house could understand her motive and she left it at that. After another vote The House narrowly failed by a single vote to reach a 2/3 majority at 65-30 and she was allowed to remain.
Finally Justin Pearson was called to the well. During questioning Representative Sabi "Doc" Kumar attempted to strike a conciliatory tone. Offering a verbal olive branch to Pearson, acknowledging the frustration one has when they feel their voice isn't being heard, but that his actions had not only been disruptive, they had silenced the voices of the other members. He recalled a time when Pearson had come to him personally after a committee meeting, called him a racial slur and stormed off. Kumar asked that Pearson make an effort to conduct himself not as an activist, but as a representative of the people of his district. This fell on Pearson with deaf ears. In similar fashion to Jones during his opening and closing statements, Pearson attempted to conjure the same activist tone and went on another long tirade also blaming white people for gun violence, accepting no responsibility, showing no remorse, and even went so far as to make the assertion that the reason for his actions was because Ronald Reagan had been killing his people by sending cocaine into black neighborhoods. A final vote was held and Pearson was also expelled with a tally of 69-26.
Several times during those proceedings The Speaker of The House had to make calls to order due to the disruptive shouting and screaming coming from the gallery. At one point he had to issue a final warning that the gallery would be cleared if they could not remain quiet during the proceedings. At the conclusion of this hearing, The House adjourned until the following Monday.
The next day every Democrat, including Gloria Johnson, and every leftist talk show host claimed that "white supremacist and racist" republicans expelled two members of the Tennessee House of Representatives just because they were black. None of the facts above have been mentioned since the April 6th hearing.
The real reason Johnson was allowed to stay and the others weren’t, was a clear lack of remorse, gaslighting, and blame shifting on the part of Jones and Pearson, while Johnson accepted responsibility and apologized with humility. The only racism in any of this has come from Jones and Pearson, who have blamed white people for their own inability to follow the rules and conduct themselves like adults rather than petulant children throwing a tantrum because they didn’t get their way.
Too much to read
That was a insurrection !!!!!!
Protect the second at all cost
Nice small D energy.
The topic of the outburst is irrelevant. They spoke out of turn and caused a raucous ruckus.
Liberals don 't care about any of that
Insurrectionist OUT!
If you even suggest disassembling the 2nd amendment, you should be expelled from the country.
We need to create a April 2nd committee!
And arrest the rioters who stormed the building.
Edit: insurrectionist* not rioters
EVERY single one of these DISGUSTING Ped0cRat INSURRECTIONIST cultists MUST be removed from every form of power.
Insurrectionists.
What happened is the 2020 Democrat definition of Insurrection. Looked like one of the worst days in Americas history. 9/11 and now the Tennessee Insurrection.
I agree 100000%!!!
Knock yourself out Poindexter....
I haven’t seen any comments about how the two lawmakers who were kicked out were black males and the one who wasn’t was a white female😐 I’m not saying anything, I’m implying you to decide what that mean.
Just a another stunt and case of “rules for thee, not for me”
Ironic. The people who expelled them didn't get in trouble for January 6th...
Theres still people in prison. Youre lucky we didnt do that.
They were expelled for not following the rules. If they want to protest they can do it outside.
But mfs stormed the capital in DC, representatives defended it and downplayed it, and they’re still there…
Protesting little school children getting shredded by AR15. If you want to be inhuman, you can do that outside.
Well, two were expelled.
Somehow one made it through
Will his black Bros obey the gun control law if we have one? Will that stop Black on Black crimes? The key issue in the Tennessee shooting is mental illness. The killer shouldn't have been able to buy guns in the first place.
Two of three Democraps, I’d call that a great start👍🏽
Rules for thee but not for me!
Tennessee is so primitive!
If only more like Chicago, NY,Frisco,Portland,Atlanta,Detroit,Baltimore.I apologize if a city was overlooked 4 not being a paradise.
ALL out politics have always been medieval. Why the freak are the Kennedys still around? Why did BOTH Bush brothers become politicians? You know what these are called? Their called houses, we’ve had them in medieval times as well.
Just calling this a "lynching" is playing the race card, without reason!
More guns = Less violence.
It's just a fact of life so deal with it! If you don't like guns don't buy guns! But they will only offend you until the day they defend you!🤷♂️
Have a good Friday and Happy Easter *EVERYONE* no matter what your beliefs or cause because we are all in this *TOGETHER* .
#️⃣8️⃣6️⃣4️⃣6️⃣🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

They should of said "I was just having a stroll in the building"
Keep eating what your fed, parrot
They should have said, "We were just peaceful tourists..."
Yeah, because they were imprisoned without trial and shot for climbing through a window after having been given a walking tour. Yup, apples to apples right here.
@@justacinnamonbun8658 And gotten thrown in jail for two years without trial as the police-escorted January 6 folks did?
@@ritcheymt Who got thrown in jail for 2 years without a trial?? You have any names/dockets??
3-Expulsions, 2-haircuts & a Diet for Fatty ☝🏻🥴
Spoken like a fat man!
An insurrection
Good! They’re there to represent, not join protests against their constituents!
"You ban books! You ban drag! Kids are still in body bags!"
wasn't it a gay lefty that put them in the bags? i know thinking can be hard sometimes, but plz try
@@violentmo2241 it sure was
What about our children that are being killed by gun violence? WE STAND WITH THE TENNESSEE 3!
There's nothing we can do about guns without hurting law biding citizens
It's hurting you to not be carrying a military weapon? Ha, and I thought it was hurting me to not wear sunglasses as an autistic. Poor you! /sarcasm
I appreciate that they want to do something about it, but murder is already illegal, the shooter was 26, and they brought a rifle, pistol caliber carbine, and a pistol with them. Banning certain guns, or all guns wouldn't have done anything. We have to fix our culture somehow in the long term, and harden our citizens and schools in the short term.
Yes it would
@@bensponseller5207 not it wouldn’t have. Banning guns does nothing when they are already out there in masses. Explain how banning something that has millions of manufactured products would stop things?
@@bensponseller5207 No. It wouldn't.
But... what if one side, one whole entire party, WON'T AGREE to any of that. What if they just demand "gun control" and sit back and watch the bodies pile up?
Because that is what we are witnessing, here. Nothing short of giving up our rights will get a single (D) vote. They won't entertain any other solution, even for a moment.
Now what?
The shooter also lied on the 4473 form about being treated for mental health issues
Imagine thinking protesting is un-American.
>the Boston Tea Party has entered the chat
Imagine thinking protesting is the same as gathering a small group of degenerates to bully the elected majority of a state into stopping their proceedings. You must be a big J6 insurrectionist too.
Nobody is above the law. Not even state legislators.
They need Togo. No way to conduct yourself
You are right JonnyB. I can't believe this s***what is going on with these people putting their babies in front of something like that. If I had a kid in that school I don't know what I would do but it would definitely be their last day in public School. Going to school with everything that's going on right now is bad enough already without that f***** up stuff. Sorry for the cussing but that is totally wrong. For parents that agree there is homeschooling and you can get it for free. I did homeschooling with my kid all the way through the 12th grade. If any parents want to check it out it is called K-12. Every year they send computers schoolbooks and everything they need for that year then at the end of the year you send it back and they send you everything you need for the next year. I think in the future that's all there will be. I just can't see public School going on very much longer especially with this kind of stuff happening without your permission.
This is what fascism looks like.
Yes when people want to disarm their civilians, that’s a form of fascism. Glad these traitors were expeled
Guns don't kill people
It was an insurrection!
LOL uh-huh, armed with deadly bullhorns. Crushed police on the way in. Sent lawmakers scrambling for cover. Yep, definitely an insurrection.
Looks like a violent insertion to me
based on jan 6 definition
You're kidding right?
Bullhorns vs bear spray, zip ties, bats. Hmmm.
A building your allowed to enter and actually be there since they work there vs a building you stormed through barricades and police to enter.
Yelling so people will understand kids are dying and pubtards won't do a thing vs. Yelling to hang the vice president.
Oh yes, definitely just like Jan 6
Insurrection . LoL 😂
@dontcallmedean I'll stop by later and show you. Lol
What is an Assault Weapon?
How can people care more about owning an AR-15 than they care about innocent children?
Good for those legislators for being LOUD about what they believe in.
Yea I’m glad they kicked them out
Good on the Tennessee legislature for expelling them for violating the law
@tomr.5321 They didn't violate the law, Genius. Lol 🤣😂🤣
They broke "rules of decorum" for the House floor. Most of the time, this leads to you getting pulled off committees as punishment; not expelled.
Marjorie Taylor Green would've been expelled from her seat a long time ago if the same "Rules of Decorum" were applied on the Federal floor.
As a matter of fact, Mr. TN Speaker himself never expelled Republican representative David Byrd who has had multiple allegations of sexual assault against minors. Yes, ladies & gentlemen, Cameron Sexton will oust someone over their constitutional rights of Free speech & Freedom of assembly but will NOT oust child predators.
Plus, you just made these 3 reps political martyrs - gave people that no one knew the national spotlight. Expect to see them win higher ranking positions in the future due to this new found notoriety.
It’s a people problem, not a gun problem. Weak, and poor Mental health is the root of all these issues. Plain and simple. I am truly appalled at how many people continue to ignore these simple facts. Let’s focus on the root.
AR15s with large magazines are war weapons. Focus on that.
Yes people with mental health issues purchase these guns and commit violent crimes because it was so easy to get one in the first place! I don't see why people can't seem to figure this one out!!!
Good. At least they weren’t locked up for 2 years. “No one is above the rules.”
Yeah. They got off pretty easy.
