Tennessee House expels Democratic members over gun protest, sparking chaos and dissent.

TL;DR Summary
The Tennessee House voted to expel Rep. Justin Jones, one of three Democratic lawmakers who led a protest calling for gun law reforms. The trio acknowledged that they didn't follow the rules of order and decorum by speaking without being formally recognized. Republicans have said the trio's actions amount to an insurrection. If the expulsion vote follows party lines, the three Democrats will be removed from office. The trio, whom supporters call "The Tennessee Three," have already been stripped of their committee assignments.
