Tennessee Lawmaker Justin Jones, one of two lawmakers expelled from the Tennessee House of Representatives following a gun control rally that entered the Tennessee Capitol building, has been reinstated by the Nashville Council. Jones, hand in hand with many constituents, marched back to the Tennessee Capitol after the council vote and vowed to continue the fight for gun control laws in Tennessee.

The other lawmaker who was expelled, Justin Pearson, is also expected to be reinstated after a vote in Memphis later this week. 

Jones is also calling for Tennessee's Speaker of the House, Cameron Sexton, to resign after the expulsion.
