[Democrats end sit-in on House floor while promising to continue to press for gun votes]Even if Republicans don’t put the Democrats’ preferred bill on the House floor, Democrats could still have the opportunity to force a vote on their legislation under typical House practice. But that bill would almost certainly not be the one that Democrats spent 27 hours on the House floor last week demanding a vote on. Ryan said in a Sunday TV interview that Republicans would not “tolerate” any further occupation of the House floor. He promised that House Democrats “will keep up our efforts” to get Ryan to allow a vote on their preferred measures to combat gun violence. It is unclear whether that would satisfy the Democrats’ demands for a floor vote on “no fly, no buy” legislation.
