Well look at this! House Dems no longer ‘standing’ in favor of gun control

You're 225 years too late. Common sense gun legislation was passed in 1791 when the Second Amendment was ratified. https://t.co/jkeYDc2xIi

Surprisingly enough, some House Democrats are no longer standing in favor of additional gun control measures. That’s because they’re now sitting for them:

My colleagues & I have had enough. We are sitting-in on the House Floor until we get a vote to address gun violence. https://t.co/rTqrPifuUz

The Dems got some bipartisan encouragement:

HAHA. Keep sitting. Better than you passing laws. Shut it all down actually. PLEASE. Do it for the children!! https://t.co/oJ742eBC4S

Let them sit there for the rest of the year.

If the Republicans did something like that, wouldn’t these same Dems consider it “obstruction”?

They should be sitting on the FBI buildings steps bc that's where the problem lies. https://t.co/Ycq6Qz9usS

Try occupying the FBI, since they ignored about a dozen warning signs. #idiots https://t.co/Qr15Dd5eBl

Solid lesson to kids out there. Throw hissy fits when you don't get your way. A+ role models. https://t.co/yeU8swUHE9

It's very brave of you guys to occupy a space where the American Constitution says you have privileged occupancy. https://t.co/6doOSK7pHD
