It’s the season of political antics and this time around, the Democratic Party refuses to be outdone. House Democrats, led by civil rights godfather John Lewis, have staged a sit-in to allow for votes on gun control legislation.

Earlier in the week four such measures were rejected, including a bill sponsored by California senator Dianne Feinstein which called for expanding the “Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment,” known more commonly as the “terrorist watchlist.”

The entire watchlist has more than eight hundred thousand names on it, far more than the “no-fly” sub-list with sixty-four thousand names. Feinstein’s legislation called for a weapons ban to be applied to the entire list.
