Democrats are staging a sit-in on the floor of the U.S. House over gun legislation, led by Rep. John Lewis.
The sit-in, which began Wednesday afternoon and continued into Thursday, has been streamed through live footage of several lawmakers’ Periscope accounts. The House is not officially in session, and congressional Republicans have shut off C-SPAN’s cameras.
The Democrats are demanding a vote on a bill that would prevent people on the terrorist watch list from purchasing guns after four votes regarding gun control legislation failed to pass the Senate on Monday evening.
Watch the sit-in live below.
