So now you are comparing the actions of elected members of Congress with stormtroopers? Priceless. What do you think of secret inquiries being held? Is there an historical precedent there?

But it is not the first time a stunt like this has happened.

The 2016 United States House of Representatives sit-in began on June 22, 2016, when members of the House Democratic Caucus, led by Georgia Representative John Lewis and Massachusetts Representative Katherine Clark, and Illinois Representative Robin Kelly, declared their intention to remain on the floor of the United States House of Representatives until its Republican Speaker, Paul Ryan, allowed votes on gun control legislation in the aftermath of the June 12, 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting.

President Barack Obama tweeted support for Lewis and House Democrats, saying they were "leading on gun violence where we need it most".

Former President Bill Clinton, the husband of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, tweeted in support, "This is leadership." Hillary also tweeted her support.
