te a vote on the gun legislation.t. speaker paul ryan was shoutedho down as he tried to restoretore order. that was about 10:00 p.m. and the night was justut beginning.g it was an unruly and remarkable day which include add near brawl between twowe lawmakers and the house turning off the gallery cameras, democrats turned thenth to social media to keep the public tuned in. t in. so we've
