On Capitol Hill, Democratic lawmakers erupted into protest over inaction by Republican leaders on gun control. Some left the chamber as House Speaker Paul Ryan held a moment of silence to honor the Orlando victims. South Carolina Congressmember Jim Clyburn took to the floor to ask Ryan when the House would consider gun control legislation. But Ryan shut him down on procedural grounds.

Rep. Jim Clyburn: “Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I am really concerned that we have just today had a moment of silence, and later this week, the 17th”—

House Speaker Paul Ryan: “Is the gentleman stating a parliamentary inquiry?”

Rep. Jim Clyburn: “Yes. Mr. Speaker, I am particularly interested about three pieces of legislation that have been filed in response to Charleston.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan: “The gentleman is not stating a parliamentary inquiry. The gentleman is not stating a parliamentary inquiry. The clerk will report the title of the bill.”
