BREAKING: Democrats Stage ‘Sit In’ On House Floor For Gun Tantrum

Democrats have staged a sit-in to call for legislative action on gun control in the wake of the mass shooting in Orlando, Florida. No doubt President Obama is behind this latest attempt to impose gun restrictions on law-abiding citizens.

Fox News reported that House Democrats are staging a sit-down protest, seeking a vote on gun control measures following the Orlando nightclub shooting.

Roughly 40 House lawmakers sat on the floor and refused to allow Republicans to take back control. They took turns talking about gun violence, said they wouldn’t leave until House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., allowed a vote on measures to curb it,  and chanted over and over “No bill, no break!” The House is scheduled to adjourn on Friday and be out of session until July 5, USA Today reported.

Most of the demonstration, unlike last week’s filibuster in the Senate, was not broadcast on C-SPAN because the network does not display the House floor when it is in recess. But many lawmakers took to social media to post photos and video of the protest.

Rep. John Larson of Connecticut says lawmakers are “calling for the simple dignity of a vote” in the House on measures to block gun purchases by some suspected terrorists.

Larson says, “Rise up Democrats, rise up Americans. We will occupy this chamber.”

Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland says, “We will not be shut up. We will not be shut down.”

The House was not in session when the Democrats held the demonstration. Republican leaders ordered C-SPAN cameras turned off.

  1. Leave them sitting there. They are old and out of shape they won’t last long. When you are back in session tell them if they want to be involved in their job to take their seat. If they won’t go on with out them. The best way to stop a child’s tantrum is to ignore it.

  2. They are staging a sit-in so they can have anybody on the no-fly list banned from purchasing a gun. Many people on the no fly list have done NOTHING wrong, have never been convicted of a crime and should not have their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS stripped from them without a trial by a jury of their peers. Not a single mass murder was committed by somebody who purchased their guns legally except this last one and the FBI dropped the ball on that one. Asking for stricter gun laws is not going the keep them out of the hands of criminals who do NOT purchase them legally and do NOT subject themselves to a background check. They know all of this and still they want your guns. So did Hitler!

  3. You know what I feel about all those blind ass democrats fuck-em all. They refuse to recognize Islamic terror but want to disarm law abiding citizens. It works really well in Chicago and Paris and Belgium where they have the toughest gun laws on earth. If you think voting for the Hildabeast is going to be fashionable and prove you’re not a sexist. You will be the one of the 47% of Americans that will be deemed beyond stupid and in my eyes way beyond repair.
