Democrats disrupt House with extraordinary sit-in protest over guns

Rebellious US Democrats have staged a round-the-clock sit-in on the floor of the House to demand votes on gun-control bills, shouting down Speaker Paul Ryan when he attempted to restore order as their protest stretched into the night.

The stunning and unruly scene was broadcast live to the world from Democrats' mobile phones, feeds picked up by C-Span after Republicans shut down the network's cameras.
