A GOP representative on Wednesday slammed the Democrats for staging a sit-in on the House floor to push for action on gun control legislation. "Calling this a sit-in is a disgrace to Woolworth's," Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.) tweeted, referring to the 1960 protests at a lunch counter that helped kick off the Civil Rights Movement. The sit-ins at the Woolworth store in Greensboro, N.C., were staged to protest the store's policy of racial segregation.On Wednesday, dozens of Democrats participated in a sit-in to press for action on gun control before the House leaves at the end of the week for a planned recess. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), the veteran lawmaker who was brutally beaten by police in the 1965 civil rights march in Selma, Ala., began the sit-in by giving a speech while surrounded by his colleagues. "We have turned deaf ears to the blood of the innocent and the deaths in our nation," he said. "Mr, Speaker, where is the heart of this body. Where is our soul? "How many more mothers, how many more fathers have to share tears of grief before we decide to do anything?" Democratic lawmakers then sat down on the floor of the chamber — and said they would stay until GOP leaders allow a vote on gun legislation. The Democrats are sitting in for hopes that the US Constitution will be destroyed, unlike the Woolworth sit in which was for basic human rights. This sit in is just showing America just how mentally sick the Democrat party has become. I guarantee America that each senator involved in this sit in either have personal weapons or armed security. These democrats unwillingness to go after problems like radical Islam or mental health issues, shows us their only willing to go after something on a document because it's "easy." The Democratic party continues to show America their weakness, by going after our founding document instead of the ideology and things that make people tick. Also they yet have to discuss the epic failure of Chicago's gun control or gun free zones which ultimately are the only places people get killed by guns. Someone needs to make a delivery of baby bottles to the house immediately.
