Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones was reinstated this week after being expelled from the House of Representatives for protesting gun violence in response to a school shooting in Nashville. His reinstatement has garnered national attention, and he has vowed to continue fighting for stricter gun laws. Jones referenced the students who motivated his and fellow Democrats’ call for action on guns when he was expelled, saying “It was students walking out of classes and taking to this Capitol that led us into the well that day, calling for common sense gun laws.”
