John Lewis Defends Sit-In: Americans ‘Demanded We Do Something About the Proliferation of Guns

‘More than 85 to 90 percent of Democrats and Republicans want us to act’

LEWIS: "Well, I believe we did what we had to do. We had to find a way to dramatize the issue, make it real, make it plain, make it simple. The American people are demanding that we do something about the proliferation of guns. More than 85 to 90 percent of both Democrats and Republicans want us to act. We've been too silent and we need to come together as members of Congress and do something. It is very simple, if you are not supposed to be on a plane, no fly, no buy."
