  1. People in America are afforded the Right to bear arms and to carry a firearm. All the weak people are to scared to carry a firearm they will never bebable to save the children. There are more good people then bad. If more good people had guns. There would be way less mass shooting and crimes and no foreign country would think of invading the United States of America as Russia did to Ukraine.

  2. Aren't you all due for your boosters??

  3. JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. #YES TO STRICT GUN POLICY! #NO TO ABORTION.

    #HUMAN RIGHTS AND CLIMATE CHANGE. #END CORRUPTION, CRIMES, DRUG CARTEL AND TERRORISM.

  4. The fact that they expelled the two black guys and not the white lady, tells you everything you need to know about the mentality in that area. Kudos to the woman for standing with the two young men.

  5. This is what you wanted you set the precedent dems this is what you can expect going forward.

  6. Lester Holt is a liberal j****

  7. How can they expel a Representative whom was elected by the people??!!

  8. I wouldn't trust those three to water my house plants.

  9. Reality has become a nightmare.

  10. THE SHOOTER WAS TRANS! Anyone wanna dive deep into that maybe not being the best thing for kids. Along with all other prescriptions for your brain. Oh no…. We can’t do that and take big pharmas money. Let’s just mutilate and drug our kids into mindless psycho paths. Awesome 👍🏿

  11. Good! It’s time we all stand up to these tyrants. Gun laws will not stop crazy people. an assault on democracy would be indictment of a political candidate!

  12. Honestly, I’ve been watching this stuff for 3!decades – there hasn’t been one gun law that has worked. Maybe show me how to seize all the illegal guns from gang members first. Then I’ll listen to the ideas to limit my non felon self.

  13. The entire world is watching Tennessee, and the laws this legislature has been passing reinforce the perception that the state is full of toothless, uneducated rubes.

  14. This is only the beginning. Every GOP state will do the same thing if they think they can. Never say never. I say it’s time for left wing supremacy. No white nationalism, no Islamism, no peacenik crap, the left must prepare with arms for the revolution to come

  15. The new Banana Republic of Tennessee.

  16. They should have put them in jail for leading a violent insurrection

  17. 7000 euro was added to my PayPal account with the help of Maskoffaid they did well

  18. 7000 euro was added to my PayPal account with the help of Maskoffaid they did well

  19. Good… they were participating in an insurrection…

  20. No mention that these Representatives were completely out of order with bullhorns for over an hour

  21. Democracy ? People should be more worried about the right to keep and bare arms because that’s the only thing keeping us free from a tyrannical government.. Without the second amendment brings socialism and communism … Mental health is what they should be protesting for… Guns have nothing to do with crazy people

  22. Guns over dead children. The Republican way.

  23. The Republican party is such a hateful group.
