Democrats end gun control sit-in

Us Democrats have ended their sit-in protest over gun control after more than 24 hours occupying Congress.

Lawmakers spent the night refusing to yield the floor as they shared stories of how gun violence had affected their voters and posted on social media.

The protest comes in the wake of the recent shootings in Orlando, the deadliest in modern US history.
Republicans adjourned the session despite Democratic attempts to force a vote before beginning a holiday break.
Congressmen chanted “no bill, no break” and sang 1960s-era protest songs on the floor of the House of Representative
