Democratic lawmakers stripped from committee assignments​

House Speaker Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, stripped two Democratic lawmakers of their committee assignments on Monday as punishment for their role in a protest and demonstration in support of gun control at the Capitol.

Sexton took the action against Rep. Justin Jones, D-Nashville, and Rep. Gloria Johnson, D-Knoxville. On Thursday, Jones and Johnson, along with Rep. Justin Pearson, D-Memphis, interrupted a debate about an education bill to lead protesters in calling for gun control. Pearson does not serve on any committees.

The three House Democrats approached the podium without being recognized to speak — breaching the chamber’s rules of procedure.

With a bullhorn, the three led protestors in the galleries in several chants calling for gun reform. At no point did any demonstrators make their way onto the House floor.

Sexton immediately recessed the chamber, halting legislative business for nearly an hour before it resumed, and ordered security to clear the House galleries.

Sexton said other sanctions, including expulsion, will be considered.

The last time the House expelled a sitting lawmaker was in 2016 when the chamber voted 70-2 to remove then-Rep. Jeremy Durham, R-Franklin, from the House for alleged sexual misconduct. At the time, it was the first expulsion since 1980 and only the second since the Civil War.

Last year, for the first time in its history, the Tennessee Senate voted to expel a senator, stripping Sen. Katrina Robinson, D-Memphis, of her elected position following her federal conviction on federal wire fraud charges.

Though it seems more like how they protested was the reason for the expulsion. Reads like they just went in and interrupted the place

yup. And because of that extra security measures are in place at the hotels so it never happens again.

But even before that, police were heavy up and down the strip. If you look in that fight thread in the cool table, I posted two videos, one of which you'll see these cat run up in yellow shirts and hem up the folks fighting: That's Metro's bike/foot patrol for The Strip, they were on the strip when we first moved there in 2011. They also have unmarked cars (usually white Ford Taurus') parked up and down the strip with cops in them ready to go. Metro patrols it, and every casino has multiple armed guards there. I know that 'cause I worked NetSec for Caesars corporate from 2012-2013 and had to interface with security on a near daily basis at all of our properties.

Again... If you're scared of multiple armed guards, stay far away from Vegas. For that matter, don't go to Laughlin, Reno, or the Vegas side of Lake Tahoe.

Dong have the same affect if you don’t post a gun in every post.
Even if it has nothing to do with guns.
Example
 
The real question is why the need for so many guns
