GOP gun bill in limbo, as Speaker Paul Ryan threatens punishment for Democrats' sit-in.

what an asshole

let more people die ryan, so you can make a fucking political point.

(CNN)A high-profile gun bill pushed by House Republicans leaders remains in limbo because a key bloc of conservatives opposes it and GOP leaders can't muster the votes to pass it.

Democrats pounced on the issue Thursday, tying up the House floor for hours with another push for votes on measures to expand background checks and prevent those on the terror watch list from buying guns.

House Speaker Paul Ryan acknowledged that he had work to do with his own members to get consensus on his legislation, which is part of anti-terrorism package of measures he and other leaders drafted and planned to vote on this week.

"We're not going to rush it," the Wisconsin Republican said at a news conference. "We're going to get it right. And that's what we're working on with our members."

5. Did we expect anything different from Ryan?

The Chamber of Commerce and the Business Round Table selected him as Speaker due to fact,that everyone else considered would prove to be a total disaster.

7. House Democrats to be sent to bed with no dinner.

Washington D.C. - July 7, 2016
Republican Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Paul Ryan said today that Democrats would be "punished" for their sit-in on the house floor in protest of no action on any bills restricting gun ownership by the Republicans.

During today's press conference Speaker Ryan stated "We're taking what may seem to be a rather drastic step. I have to say it's tough love and it's necessary. Tonight House Democrats will be sent to bed with no dinner. In some areas of the nation it may be known as 'supper', but it is the evening meal. There will also be no TV, no computers, no social media devices, and no bedtime story."

Democrats have not immediately responded.
