6:29Now PlayingHouse Democrats staged a protest during the moment of silence for the victims at the Orlando night club. They walked out to send a message about the need for gun legislation. John Iadarola (ThinkTank), Wes Clark Jr., and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

Some lawmakers walked out of the House chamber before the moment of silence began in protest, including Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.). Earlier in the day, Himes declared he would not participate in any more moments of silence as a form of protest over the lack of legislative responses to mass shootings.
"The fact is that a moment of silence is an act of respect, and we supported that. But it is a not a license to do nothing," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters off the House floor afterward.
"Members have just had enough of having one minute, a moment of silence on the floor, and then take no action," she said.
After the moment of silence ended, Assistant Minority Leader James Clyburn (D-S.C.) tried to seek recognition, a request Ryan denied.”*
