The Tennessee House of Representatives has passed a law to ban drag shows, limiting or canceling the right to freedom of expression, a fundamental part of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, while facilitating access to weapons to protect the Second Amendment.
This, despite the fact that a few days ago the city of Nashville suffered a massacre in a school, where three nine-year-old children and three school workers lost their lives.
Representative Justin Jones highlighted the level of hypocrisy in that House of Representatives by mentioning that no one dies from drag shows, and that guns have attacked and devastated his community.
He also said that representatives should have the guts to not depend on the money of arms manufacturers, putting their interests above the lives of those they represent.
Jones represents between 70 and 80 thousand people and has participated in protests against access to weapons alongside two of his counterparts.
Now, this Congress dominated by Republican representatives has taken away their access to Congress and its committees, in addition to wanting to deprive the people they represent of a voice.
