GOP Blocks Gun Control Despite Deadly Shooting, Silences Democrat Critic

A mass shooting at a Tennessee school led the governor to call a special session on public safety, but GOP lawmakers refused gun control measures.
Republicans voted to silence Rep. Justin Jones after he spoke against a bill for more police in schools, spurring protests.
Jones accused the House Speaker of abuse of power and called for a no-confidence vote, but it's unlikely to pass.
The session ended abruptly after a physical altercation between the Speaker and a Democrat, with only minor changes passed.
Parents and Democrats criticized the refusal to enact gun reforms in the wake of the tragic shooting that killed 6.
