5-minute non-violent protest on the floor of the Chamber. The protest happened because, although only a few days earlier 6 people had been killed in a mass shooting in Nashville, yet the legislature refused to have any discussion on legislation pertaining to gun use, proposed by these folks. Tennessee is a heavily gerrymandered state in which about 40-45% of the electorate is Democratic but about 80% of the legislature is Republican. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk54090168'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk114227852'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk100701848'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk95731240'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk64276020'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk52446784'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk51493677'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk49695405'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk44401178'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk46585225'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk31105682'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk28679461'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk23322942'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk20552864'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk16409756'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk5006368'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk2244936'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk13329123'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk128739707'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>The Tennessee Constitution specifically allows for protest in the legislature:<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk54090168'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk114227852'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk100701848'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk95731240'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk64276020'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk52446784'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk51493677'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk49695405'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk44401178'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk46585225'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk31105682'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk28679461'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk23322942'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk20552864'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk16409756'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk5006368'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk2244936'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk13329123'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk128739707'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f">
