House Democrats are organizing a sit-in on the House floor after failing to secure a vote on gun control measures. Of course, the ironic part is that CSPAN’s cameras were off due a recess when they started — probably not the most effective planning. Some individuals and Reps have begun tweeting updates.
Democrats intermittently chanting “No Bill, No Break,” as the sit-in over guns continues on the House floor.
Again, C-SPAN is turned off.

This is actually illegal and if Speaker Paul Ryan wanted to he could use the authority of the House to clear the floor — meaning we could see liberal gun grabbers hauled off in cuffs.
