Seeking a vote on strict gun control laws in the wake of America&#39;s deadliest mass shooting last week that killed 49 people in Orlando, Democratic Congressmen resorted to an unprecedented sit-in inside the well of the US House of Representatives. 
 
The leadership of the Republican party, which holds a majority in the House, refused to budge and instead shut off the television cameras used for live coverage. 
 
The Democratic Congressmen used their own smartphones to live telecast -- through Facebook and other social media sites -- the proceedings inside the House along with their sit-in demonstrations in the House well. 
 
Images from inside the well of the House reflected a chaotic situation rarely seen. 
 
One television commentator described this like an anarchy and lawlessness as the rare sit-in inside the House crossed midnight even after the lights were switched off. 
 
&quot;Enough is enough,&quot; said Indian American Congressman Ami Bera, as he joined his fellow Democratic lawmakers in the protest, which was led by legendary Congressman John Lewis, known for his civil disobedience movement. 
 
&quot;Republicans denied us a vote, we sat on the Floor. We sat on the Floor, with John Larson presiding. When they turned off the House cameras, we livestreamed from our phones,&quot; said Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi in her remarks on the House floor late last night. 
 
&quot;They can try to shut down the Floor, but because of you, they cannot shut out the voices of the victims and the will of the American people. And now, as you hold up the names of people who have been victims of violence,&quot; she said. 
 
Democratic lawmakers were demanding that Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House of Representatives, bring up a vote on commonsense gun violence prevention legislation before the House recesses. 
 
Refusing to budge under pressure, Ryan described this as a publicity stunt by Democrats. 
 
&quot;This is nothing more than a publicity stunt. That&#39;s point number one. Point number two is this bill was already defeated in the United States Senate. Number three, we&#39;re not going to take away a citizen&#39;s due process rights,&quot; Ryan said. 
 
&quot;We&#39;re not going to take away a citizen&#39;s constitutional rights without due process. That was already defeated in the Senate. And this is not the way to try and bring up legislation,&quot; he told CNN in an interview. 
 
Ryan defended his decision to shut off the cameras and lights arguing that these are as per the House rules. 
 
House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer demanded that Republicans hold a vote on legislation on gun violence. 
 
&quot;After the unspeakable slaughter of 49 innocent people in Orlando earlier this month, it is unconscionable that House Republicans would continue to block a vote even on commonsense safeguards, including expanding background checks and preventing dangerous firearms from being sold to terror suspects,&quot; Hoyer said. 
 
&quot;This is an issue that ought to transcend party - it&#39;s about saving lives and keeping our communities safe,&quot; he said.

Even past midnight, Democrats telecast the session on smartphones after Republicans turned cameras off

Seeking a vote on strict gun control laws in the wake of America's deadliest mass shooting last week that killed 49 people in Orlando, Democratic Congressmen resorted to an unprecedented sit-in inside the well of the US House of Representatives.

House sit-in seeking gun control laws described as 'anarchy and lawlessness'

Democrats demanding action on gun control turned to Twitter&#39;s Periscope and Facebook&#39;s live video platform to broadcast their &quot;sit-in&quot; on the floor of the US House of Representatives on Wednesday after the chamber&#39;s cameras shut down. 
 
Representative Scott Peters of California told Reuters he downloaded the online video platform Periscope from the House floor after it became clear that chamber cameras were not operating. 
 
The protest was the latest move by Democrats to persuade the Republican majority in Congress to take up votes on gun control measures in response to last week&#39;s mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, the deadliest in modern US history. 
 
In video streamed on Facebook Live by Congressman Beto O&#39;Rourke, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi can be seen speaking into a microphone that was turned off. She could be heard asking the House Speaker to turn the microphones back on. 
 
At about noon EDT (1600 GMT), presiding House officer and Republican Representative Ted Poe declared the House not in order, as Democratic protesters sat at the front of the chamber. 
 
Cable news channel C-SPAN, which typically uses the House cameras to broadcast live footage of Congress, broadcast Peters&#39; Periscope feed instead. 
 
The hashtag #NoBillNoBreak became a rallying cry for gun control supporters on Twitter and quickly became the top-trending hashtag in the United States on the social media platform. 
 
Politicians and average social media users alike used the hashtag as a sign of solidarity with the sit-in.&nbsp;
