NPR's Susan Davis says the House has yet be gaveled into session so it's unclear what will happen.

"Lawmakers are grouped in the well of the chamber, in front of the speaker's dais and in chairs in the front row," Sue reports. "Some members are literally sitting on the floor of the House."

Rep. John Lewis, a Democrat from Georgia, announced the sit in this morning.

Democrats sitting...that's what they do best.

well, it is quite easy:

If they keep on doing this kind of actions their favorability will increase among 55% of Americans, and that is what they need to get the House back (besides some Republican inaction).

I just don't really buy those numbers as they apply to what you posit.  The reason I say that is because both democrats and republicans that will always vote along party lines were likely the main participants in those polls.

Does it really matter whether you think they are right or not? The actors seem to think that those numbers are right and act accordingly. Whether they are or not we will see in November (after discounting the Trump effect, of course).

I own a few handguns, and a few rifles, and have no problems with what they are demanding. Anything that makes it harder for criminals, or those who shouldn't be allowed to obtain weapons, legally.

"Democrats are demanding a vote on two bills before they go: one that bars anyone on the no-fly list from buying a firearm and another that broadens background checks for firearm purchases. "

it will make things harder for YOU, not criminals, who never had any problems buying guns on BM.

next time you fly, you may be bumped off the flight, as it happens everyday, they overbook flights, than you object, than they call cops, and you are escorted off the plane, and have a big chance to end up on no fly list. than you have your house raided by a swat and have your guns removed. 

yet a crackhead across the street, just bought a gun on BM. and no one knows he has one.

you otoh keep registering yours, they'll know where to go and what to take.

The Dems aren't interested in doing nice things for us.  They are only interested in stripping our rights away.  This has little to do with making people any safer, other than the Dems in charge, of course.

Maybe some of them just have no common sense. They're so brainwashed, by feel-good nonsense, that they don't realize that their childish demands would hurt more than help.

I used to be more willing to give them a pass on their idiocy.  I find it harder every day.  I am inclined to believe they know full well what is at stake.  How shocked will they be when Americans actually fight back - with GUNS - when they push too far?

It is much more insidious than simple misguided good intentions.

It's another liberal temper tantrum....when they don't get their way they fling themselves on the floor, pound their fists and drum their heels. I have less and less patience for this nonsense.

They've earned this contempt over the recent years for their own actions.  And the more contempt they earn, the more powerful the backlash from the majority of this country is eventually going to be.

You don't know how right you are...it is just that you don't seem to know what the majority is.

When your "majority" decide they're strong enough to disarm America then we'll see just who blinks.  It won't be the gutless types that whine and moan and are afraid to even be in the room with an inanimate object that prevail when that little soiree gets in gear.  Most of the LEOs and military would refuse the order and then the dream will come crashing down...OR... the second civil war will begin.  Either way, don't think the rest of us will become  faint of heart when a badge/uniform comes knocking.  "When tyranny becomes LAW, Rebellion becomes DUTY"

We know that you want somebody to fight a revolution, the Muslims and I don't know who else, and I will repeat in my usual way: get yourself a tin hat and go get a gun and off you go to the war.

Nah...not buying it....she likes too much to pretend she's squeaky clean and it's a conspiracy against her. She's completely vulnerable to blackmail. It's all about image and who is gonna pay her a gazillion dollars for speeches, whether she wins or not, if she ends up with absolute incontrovertible proof of criminal behavior posted for the world to see.

Most of my relatives are Democrats and they are horrified by Hillary. More exposure would only make that worse...if it could get worse.

Well it's over.  They ran out of potato salad from their tax payer paid catering and the fluffy pillows also paid for by tax payers weren't fluffy enough for them to try to take away more tax payers rights while being paid by said tax payers.

What, in your opinion, are their true intentions? What are their goals?
