Congressional Democrats took the unprecedented step of conducting an actual sit-in on the floor of the House of Representatives on Wednesday, demanding that Republican leaders allow votes on gun control legislation. But this unusually bold and moving tactic was undercut by the fact that its chief goal is a political gimmick that would do little to stop…
A news release Wednesday publicizing a campaign by the National Rifle Association and Smith & Wesson Holding Corp. to give away free guns in poor communities is an elaborate hoax.

Republicans mounted a floor protest over energy legislation on August 1, 2008. After then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi adjourned the House, the bill—which would, in part, lift a federal…
Image: Sarah Jeong There’s a sit-in right now in the House of Representatives over gun control. Republicans blocked a vote over the “no fly, no buy” bill (preventing terror suspects on the no-fly list from buying guns) and Democrats are up in arms about it. This is a difficult topic.
