House Democrats shout down Paul Ryan during an unprecedented gun-control protest on the House floor

House Democrats involved in an unprecedented protest on the House floor shouted down Speaker Paul Ryan as he attempted to bring the group to order.

Democrats conducting a sit-in in an effort to force a vote on gun-control legislation shouted, "No bill, no break," as Ryan appeared to officially scold his Democratic colleagues Wednesday evening.

You can see part of the exchange here:

The protest began early Wednesday. Ryan slammed House Democrats about it on CNN saying, "We don't agree with that. The Senate already doesn't agree with that ... This is a publicity stunt."

The speaker gaveled the House back into recess amid the loud chants, and a live feed from the chamber was shut down.
