Democrats Overtake Senate Floor; Ryan Dismisses Cameras

Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) has overtaken the senate floor Wednesday, protesting for action on gun control policy.

Democrats are supporting Lewis, opting to literally sit on the floor to make a statement against the Senate voting down gun control legislation earlier this week.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) passionately filibustered for 15 hours on Monday for a vote on gun control legislation that would make background checks for gun licenses more intensive, the Senate voted "no" on all four pieces.
