Nashville officials vote to reinstate Justin Jones to the Tennessee House after he was expelled by Republicans over a gun control protest

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : "Let's not fall for the false choice: either you're in favor of the Second Amendment or you want reasonable gun safety laws," she said.
48% : The Metropolitan Council, which is the legislative body of Nashville and Davidson County, voted to appoint former state Rep. Justin Jones -- the 27-year-old Nashville legislator who was part of a trio of Democrats who pushed for gun control on the House floor -- back to his old seat until a special election can be held later this year.
41% : In a unanimous vote, the council decided to send Jones back to the statehouse in Nashville, only weeks after a mass shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville prompted a wave of protests in the capital city for gun control in a state where firearms regulations are lax.
39% : Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Nashville last Friday and spoke at the historically-Black Fisk University, where she railed against the votes and pressed for more firearms regulations, including background checks, red flag laws, and an assault weapons ban.
