Hundreds of leftist gun control protesters “stormed” the Tennessee State Capitol on Thursday, clashing with law enforcement and shouting threats at lawmakers.
At least one person was arrested in a clash with police as the crowd tried to force their way into a corridor where an MP was going to the toilet. Many online compared it to January 6, calling it an “insurrection.”
Representative. Troy Nehls (R-TX) asked on Twitter, “Will the left even call this an insurrection?”

Pearson tweeted: “We have taken the floor in the House demanding justice to end support for the NRA, end support for gun violence, and end support for these weapons. @TNGOP continues to advocate for gun violence against children, parents, and families. We must never give up!”
Johnson posted a video of protesters chanting: “What do we want? Gun control. When do we want it? Now.”
Anti-gun protesters destroyed posters from people with differing opinions.
“Sarah Astor, 24, and Sean McGill, 25, held signs that read, ‘The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.’ Several people approached Astor and McGill and they tore down the sign,”
