Western Washington Democrats on Wednesday joined an unprecedented sit-in protest to force the Republican majority to allow a vote on gun control legislation. 

It comes in the wake of the Orlando massacre in which 49 people were killed at a nightclub.“I think it is past time that we enacted a law that says, as an example, if you're on a domestic terror list and we don't allow you to get on an airplane we shouldn't allow you to get a gun,” said Rep. Denny Heck.

Congressman Heck joined the protest along with Reps. Adam Smith, Rick Larsen, Suzan DelBene, Derek Kilmer and Jim McDermott.
