And after consulting with the NRA, their owner, the Republicans assemble their think tank and then take action and assume their usual position on gun control and public safety:

Why don’t they use a live streaming app or something? Maybe they aren’t allowed for some reason? But if not, why could they take and upload video…

C-SPAN is now rebroadcasting Twitter on air because the Republicans turned off the cameras on the House floor:
Watch video
C-SPAN is also directing people to Rep. Peter’s live video on Periscope.

When they say they are “on the House floor,” they really mean it. May be the first time in years that someone really means what they say in the House.
You rock!

Republicans have made John Adams’ famous quote that “One useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is a congress.” an absolute truism when applied to the House for the past 6 years.
How refreshing to see the Democrats take some, any action to move along something positive for the safety of the American people.

The live video feed from Rep. Peter’s Periscope is intermittent.
He’s broadcasting live using his phone. He might be trying to conserve battery because it’s only turned on speeches.
However they just now told the rest of the Representatives to turn on their phones and start broadcasting so there might be a more consistent coverage.

Oh, okay. You’re upset because you think it might help, not because you think it might not. That makes more sense.
