House Democrats Sit-In To Force Gun Control Votes

Taking a cue from their Senate counterpart Chris Murphy, Democrats in the House, led by the indefatigable John Lewis, have staged a sit-in demanding a vote an sensible gun control legislation. Speaker Ryan has gaveled the House into recess and has C-Span turn off the cameras. The Democrats seemed determined so the ball is really still in Ryan's court. It's nice to see Democrats holding Republicans feet to the fire on this issue.
