Gun-control protest sparks chaotic scenes in US Congress
BBC NEWS
There have been chaotic scenes in the lower house of the US Congress
as Democrats staged a sit-in to demand a vote on gun control legislation.
The sit-in is being led by congressman John Lewis, a veteran of the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
"What has this body done [to respond to the violence]?'' Mr Lewis asked.
"Nothing. We have turned a deaf ear to the blood of innocents. We are blind to a crisis. Where is our courage? How many more mothers... and fathers need to shed tears of grief?"

Former Commissioner of Corrections, Georgia, USA - Allen Ault
Duration:
- 25 minutes
- First broadcast:
- Friday 14 February 2014
A host of countries around the world still impose the ultimate punishment on the most serious criminals - death. What is it like to be in command of the machinery of state-sanctioned execution? As part of the BBC’s special Freedom Season, Hardtalk gets a rare insight from Allen Ault, who spent years running the corrections system in the southern US state of Georgia. He organised the killing of criminals until he could stand it no more. Now he is an opponent of the death penalty, Stephen Sackur finds out why.
