Literally sitting on the House floor, Democrats are demanding gun control legislation and chanting the words "no bill, no break", demanding that the July recess be cancelled until progress on gun control measures is made.
Tweets from the secession under the hashtag #NoBillNoBreak are flooding social media, with millions of social network users anxiously following the developing story.
The live broadcast during the secession was suspended.
However, the live feed was resumed following the massive outburst on Twitter that has caused a vivid response among Internet users.
You can't watch our sit-in b/c @HouseGOP put us into recess. But I assure you we will stay until there is a vote on guns! #NoBillNoBreak

After the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, it is unconscionable that we respond w/ inaction. #NoBillNoBreak #Sitin
