Gun Control Sit In By Democrats Fails To Get Vote

The House has adjourned until after July 4 without Republicans meeting Democrats’ demands of votes on gun-control legislation.

Democrats staged a round-the-clock sit-in, demanding votes, calling Republicans “cowardly.”

Michigan Congresswoman Debbie Dingell got a rousing ovation, after a passionate speech about the time she said that a gun was pointed at her in her own home as a child, not knowing if she would live or die.

A spokeswoman for House Speaker Paul Ryan dismissed the Democrats’ protest as a “publicity stunt.”
