Nashville students were encouraged to stage walkouts and march to the capitol Monday one week after the deadly shooting at The Covenant School.
Tennessee Republican House Speaker Cameron Sexton's comparison Friday of last week's state Capitol protests over state gun laws in the wake of a deadly Nashville elementary school shooting as "at least equivalent, maybe worse" than the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol has Democratic lawmakers furious.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol said the protest was peaceful and resulted in no arrests or property damage, despite GOP claims.
In states around the country, Republican lawmakers are pushing laws to expand the ability to own and carry firearms.
NY Times: On the same day 6 people were slain in Tennessee, the state loosened gun laws.
