The debate over how to stop attacks like the terror massacre in Orlando erupted on the House floor late Monday as Democratic lawmakers loudly criticized House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and other GOP leaders for taking no action on the nation’s gun laws.
The disruption underscored the political divide in the wake of the attack, with many Democrats looking to tighten gun laws in response and Republicans looking to crack down on the strain of radical Islam that seemingly motivated the shooter.

Some protested by leaving the House floor during a moment of silence honoring the victims, while other Democrats yelled "Where's the bill?" and "No leadership!"

Thank you. I have been beating the drum against organized crime in government and the old media for years. The Clinton and Obama crime families are the real enemies, not the terrified, cowardly, repubs.
Ryan should switch parties and let Paul Nehlen be his November opponent.
All true, but the “little people” often just listen to the national media hype and run with it.
If they cared about gun control, they wouldn’t have tolerated Fast & Furious.
I’ll second that emotion.
Poor wittle Wyan, getting it from both sides now.
Hey Paul, if you switch parties, the dems would be your friends and the GOPE would be too afraid to heckle you.
