Democratic lawmakers shut down the U.S. House Wednesday by staging a sit-in on the House floor to demand a vote on gun control legislation.
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.

They have nothing useful or constructive to offer. Now the Democrats are trying to take over the House of Representatives.
They do not do anything worthwhile. They just lie and pull stunts like this.

Are they going to poop in the halls if they don’t get their way, like their fellow Wisconsonians did??

Throw out the press.
Shut off the lights, the AC, the WI-FI, and lock the bathroom doors.
They’ll leave soon enough.

Pepper spray these babies and drag their sorry asses out of the House chamber.

The best thing the Democrats have done in decades.
To: econjack
worth noting the house chamber is empty. not in session. This is claiming the issue not the solution.
The solution is the dealing with the terrorists not imposing a presumption of guilt on citizens.

Someone should ask them why they didn’t hold a sit-in during the four years (2007-2001) when Democrats were in control the House.

dems really want to take guns from non-violent, normal citizens while leaving them in the hands of violent criminals and terrorists.
