Several dozen House Democrats are engaged in a sit-in on the House floor 

Protest is to pressure GOP leadership for a vote on gun control legislation

The protest started right before lunchtime on Wednesday

The House's cameras were turned off with members using the web app Periscope to broadcast their speeches 

Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama tweeted their support of the sit-in 

Wednesday night, Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert approached the Democrats and yelled 'Radical Islam!'

Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown of Florida started yelling back at him 

They came within inches of each other and needed to be separated

Several hundred protesters gathered outside the Capitol to show solidarity with House Democrats 

Democrats and Republicans nearly came to blows on the House floor during an extraordinary sit-in protest for a vote on gun control legislation on Wednesday night that stretched into Thursday morning.

At one point, Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas approached the Democrats jabbing his finger, screaming 'Radical Islam killed those people!' - in reference to the recent atrocity at the Pulse gay club in Orlando.

Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown of Florida started yelling back at him. The two came within inches of each other, both yelling. Lawmakers from both parties separated the pair.

Rebellious Democrats began an all-day sit-in on the House floor at 11.25 am on Wednesday to demand votes on gun-control bills in the wake of the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, which left 49 people dead in Orlando on June 12. 

They were still sitting on the floor at 3.13am when the House adjourned, and showed no signs of leaving. 

Earlier, they shouted down Speaker Paul Ryan when he attempted to restore order as their protest stretched into the night.
