House Democrats Gun-Control Sit-In Turns Into Chaotic Showdown With Republicans.
'A Democratic sit-in on the House floor demanding votes on gun-control legislation led to a remarkable scene of pandemonium on Wednesday night as Speaker Paul D. Ryan was shouted down when he tried to regain control.
Democrats pressed against the podium, waving signs with shooting victims names and chanting No bill! No break! as Mr. Ryan repeatedly banged his gavel in an attempt to restore order.
When Mr. Ryan gave up and left the speakers chair, Democrats shouted, Shame! Shame! Shame!
There were scenes of chaos across the floor. At one point Democrats began singing We Shall Overcome altering the lyrics to say We shall pass a bill some day as Republicans shouted in outrage.
And when Representative Don Young, Republican of Alaska, tried to confront the chanting Democrats, he was restrained by aides and colleagues.'>>>
