Tennessee lawmaker's powerful gun violence protest tactics.

TL;DR Summary
Tennessee Rep. Justin Jones attempted to carry a baby-size casket onto the Tennessee House floor to protest gun violence and call for stricter gun laws.

Tennessee has few restrictions on guns, and no permit is required to openly or concealed-carry a handgun. Gun violence is a public health crisis in the US, responsible for more than 38,000 deaths annually.
