8 families and friends of gun violence victims host sit-in



Eight protesters who lost families and friends to gun violence staged a short sit-in in the Capitol Rotunda Tuesday before Capitol Police led them away in handcuffs.

At about 12:15 p.m., the group sat down in the center of the Rotunda and began chanting, "No Bill, No Break," the slogan used by House Democrats when they occupied the chamber floor in late June to demand action on gun violence. Some of the protesters held photographs of loved ones, and signs with such slogans as "My daughter is not a political stunt."

"I came here today and I'm going to keep coming as long as I can to let the speaker, Paul Ryan, understand that red blood, human bones and flesh should mean more than green paper," said Nardyne Jeffries, 46, of D.C., referring to funds Republicans receive from the NRA. "We have the right to live safely in America"

1. Sorry Mr. Jeffries

Ryan is too busy investigating Hillary Clinton to give 2 Shits about your dead kid.

I'm sure he'll send thoughts & prayers your way though.
