WASHINGTON – Rebellious Democrats shut down the House's legislative work on Wednesday, staging a sit-in on the House floor and refusing to leave until they secured a vote on gun control measures before lawmakers' weeklong break.Exasperated Republicans were forced to recess while cutting off cameras that showed the protest. But in an unprecedented step, C-SPAN used live video feeds from one lawmaker's Periscope account and another's Facebook page to transmit words and images from the House chamber.More than 200 Democrats led by Georgia Rep. John Lewis demanded a vote on measures to expand background checks and block gun purchases by some suspected terrorists in the aftermath of last week's massacre in Orlando, Florida, that killed 49 people in a gay nightclub.

Conservative TribuneBackPolitics Top StoryPHOTO: Look Where Democrats Got Their Food From During Their “Sit-Inâ€Share on Facebook Tweet Email PrintHouse Democrats began throwing a temper tantrum on the floor of the House chamber Wednesday, staging a “sit-in†to demand a vote on a gun control measure that would strips due process and gun rights from some citizens and wouldn’t solve any gun violence issues.Of course, these “protesters†need to eat, and the handful of granola bars and doughnuts brought by sympathetic Senate Dems wasn’t going to cut it, so congressional interns were sent to acquire enough food to fuel the righteous stand in opposition of civil rights.Ironically, according to the Independent Journal, those interns brought back a cart full of fast food from the one restaurant in Washington, D.C., one would assume Democrats would avoid like the plague — Chick-fil-A.
