Gun Control Efforts Fail in Senate After California Shooting

Several gun control measures failed in the Senate Thursday afternoon, just one day after a mass shooting in California left 14 people dead and more than 20 injured.

It is political suicide to try to challenge gun lobbyists.

So they managed to prevent legislation from passing that would have stopped potential terrorists from buying guns, criminalized additional forms of gun trafficking, funded the prosecution of criminals and increased background checks.....well done, I'm glad to see congress is sticking up for the invaluable freedom of criminals (without reading further into the proposed legislation, that is what the article states).

Believing that the Second Amendment gives everyone the right to own guns doesn't equal no safeguards on that ownership.
