...U.S. Rep. Donald Norcross took a seat Wednesday — on the floor of the Capitol.

...The Camden Democrat joined a congressional sit-in to demand a vote on gun-control legislation, including a ban on the sale of firearms to people on the no-fly list.

..."Those bullets don't know whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, from a red state or a blue state," said Norcross, who called on the GOP congressional leadership to hold a vote on "common sense gun safety measures."

...Norcross supported that and other grant applications from fire departments across New Jersey's 1st Congressional District.

..."It's just as important for our first responders to be safe at their place of work as it is in the field when they're battling fires and saving lives," he said.

...Norcross reiterated his support for a bipartisan effort to close a loophole in U.S. law that allows those on the nation's terror watch list to legally purchase guns. He also called on Congress to pass the assault weapons ban, which would include weapons such as the Sig Sauer MCX semi-automatic rifle used in the Pulse Nightclub shooting, as well as those used in the elementary school shooting in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, and the attack on a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, among others.
