Washington (CNN) Frustrated Democrats chanted "where's the bill, where's the bill" on the House floor Monday as they tried to demand action from the Republican majority on gun control legislation.

The loud and emotional outcry came after lawmakers observed a moment of silence for the scores of people killed and injured in the mass shooting in Orlando over the weekend.
