“Sometimes you have to do something out of the ordinary. Sometimes you have to make a way out of no way. We have been too quiet for too long,” Lewis said. “There comes a time when you have to say something, when you have to make a little noise, when you have to move your feet. This is the time. Now is the time to get in the way. The time to act is now. We will be silent no more.”

#NoBillNoBreak: House Dems hold sit-in on gun control

Democrats took over the floor of the House at 11:25 a.m. ET Wednesday, demanding Republican leadership schedule votes on bills about universal background checks and blocking gun sales to those on no-fly lists.

The House revolt turned raucous overnight, with protesting Democrats shouting down Speaker Paul Ryan's attempts to restore order during a gun-control protest that stretched into its 20th hour.

Democrats — who were shown solidarity by senators dropping by for support — broke out into a rendition of "We Shall Overcome" with the words "We shall pass a bill, someday."

As Ryan left the chair, they chanted: "Shame! Shame!"

The sit-in shows no sign of stopping: http://on.msnbc.com/28P6TN5
