Gun control activists were seen storming Tennessee's State Capitol Thursday amid rising fears of a left-wing uprising at a rumored protest in Washington, DC.
Footage of the ongoing insurrection, posted to social media just before 2pm, shows progressive protesters attempting to enter the Nashville legislation building, and being batted away by several members of the city's sheriff's department.
Such dramatics were not exclusive to Nashville, however - as feelings of unrest continue to boil over after a recent mass shooting at a city school involving a transgender gunman who once attended the institution.
Hours earlier, outside Kentucky's State Capitol in Frankfort, an unrelated procession featuring a clergy-clothes-clad activist in clown makeup and satanic garb assembled to protest their governor's vetoing of a bill banning medical treatments for trans kids.
The civil disturbances as thousands of tweets promoting a 'trans day of vengeance' protest outside the US Supreme Court have been seen - and swiftly nixed - in the wake of the Nashville shooting, which took place on Monday.
