John Lewis leads sit-in on House Floor to pass gun control legislation.

Breaking on CNN.

I wish this was being broadcast somewhere. Some voice on C-SPAN said that Scott Peters (whom he falsely called as the congressman from South Dakota) was posting videos of it on his Twitter @ScottPetersSD.

Dems are certainly being persistent.

Damn communist nig**r, wants to take away the guns from freedom-loving white Americans.

I actually can't tell if LL is joking, given his hatred for anyone outside his very thin Overton window.

Everyone knows my bias on this issue, but i'm finding it really hard to take the Dems seriously on this issue when they weren't willing to vote for the Cornyn bill. Yeah it wasn't the 5 steps forward that they wanted (all no-fly list people banned), but it was at least 1 step forward (all no-fly list people face a brief waiting period during which the Feds can get a court order I.E. minimal due process). The only real justification I've seen for the Dems to vote against it is so they can run ads saying "na na na na GOP luvs terristz". Why wouldn't the "do something anything" vote for the bill that could actually pass other than politics?

Lol, they're just doing the Republicans work for them.  Government shut down? Success!

[Reginald]

Nice to see Congressional Democrats finally beginning to realize that PR moves like this can have potential value. What's taken them so long, I don't know.

[Hermit For Peace]

I love it!

They are FF's for standing up for what they believe in. Hopefully they get something passed.

Good. Gun culture is creepy and nothing will ever change if Dems keep rolling over.

Sounds like things are about to go down. Republicans are going to try to take the floor back and reports are that capitol police is ready to pull people out. Personally, I don't think that physically removing John Lewis out of the House chamber would be smart optics for Speaker Ryan, but that's just me.

You wouldn't be saying the same if Republicans we're doing this.  Ya'll would be screaming for the capitol police to move in.

What government shutdown?  Or are you talking out your ass again?

[MK]

Get the capital police to remove them and continue on with real issues not some silly anti constitution protest.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Remember when Republicans did this and Pelosi shut off the lights?

[Santander]

I'm so glad I no longer identify with that party.

They can't.  John Lewis is black you see, so it would be automatically racist.
