House Democrats ended their 25-hour sit-in over gun control legislation on Thursday, a protest Speaker Paul D. Ryan labeled a high-profile stunt that undermined the basic institutions of government.
Mr. Ryan said he was “not going to allow stunts like this to stop us from carrying out the people’s business.” He added, “This is about a publicity stunt and now a fund-raising scheme.”
But on legislative business, it was Mr. Ryan who prevailed. He personally reclaimed control of the House, pounding his gavel and muscling through a major appropriations bill that included funding for combating the Zika virus, without debate.

It was nothing but a publicity stunt. Dems crave attention.
Morons.
The ‘RATS and the media (same thing) are misreading the mood of the American people this time. We’re mad as ****, and we’re not gonna take it anymore.
John Lewis and his fellow travelers trod (or, figuratively, sat) on the corpses of the Orlando victims to push gun control. That’s what happened.
The House Democrats conducted a stupid-looking ‘60s-style protest in the House chamber to protest for violating the Second Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment via a no-fly list to which anyone can be summarily added and to which many have been mistakenly added. I hope the Wicked Witch makes this a major campaign issue.
Republicans caved and are supporting Collins Bill
“I think the Democrats looked bad with this. “
And they “showed” the nuttiest of their lot. Rosa DeLauro acted like she was on crack! (and that she had had a malfunction of the broom she uses as “transportation). When you look up ugly in the dictionary, there’s ole Rosa!
Rosa is always on crack
More like drawing attention AWAY from Islamic terrorism and Obama's incompetence.
they should try a hunger strike next so they can all starve to death. That would certainly test their anti gun resolve.
I thought they were drawing attention to the fact they’re a**holes.
Aw, they must have ate all the pizza.
Losers all.
Gun control? Huh! Never heard of it.
I guess it’s a good thing they are “drawing attention” to it.
The only thing it proved was that Democrats can't sing.
they called attention to it, that’s for sure
and themselves
they proved they are stupid manipulative anti-American idiots
who only want to render American citizens helpless
against them
and against their invading IslamoNazi army of terrorist gangsters
may the “sit in” people GTH, ASAP!
The only attention they drew to themselves is that they are bunch of idiots.
Damned dems. You should be concerned about the millions of muzzies streaming in, and not trying to take guns from the good guys.
I’m betting they got their orders from Hillary on this one.
Tyrant crybullies
