Tennessee lawmaker's gun protest sparks controversy at Capitol.

TL;DR Summary
Two Democratic lawmakers in Tennessee, who were previously expelled and reinstated, carried coffins during a gun control protest at the state Capitol. The protest was organized by Bishop William Barber II of the Protestant Disciples of Christ church, and attendees carried caskets meant to symbolize victims of gun violence. One of the lawmakers, Justin Jones, was stopped from bringing an infant-sized casket onto the floor of the assembly by the sergeant-at-arms. The lawmakers interrupted a House session on March 30, just three days after a shooting at a Christian school left six people dead.
