FOUR gun control bills fail to be passed in USA

Sort it out America. Even after the Orlando massacre, the USA is still refusing to change it’s laws on gun control.

Last night, four bills were pushed at a Senate meeting, but did not receive the number of votes required to pass.

The Second Amendment which allows the current laws to exist states; “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

The state sadly blocked the following measures to close a loophole in the law regarding gun shows, and expanding background checks.

Senate Gun Control Vote One:

Increasing funds for federal gun background check system.

Yes: 53 (60 votes needed)
No: 47

MOTION FAILS

Senate Gun Control Vote Two:

Requiring background checks at gun shows

Yes: 44 (60 votes needed)
No: 56

Senate Gun Control Vote Three:

Court order to delay ‘no-fly’ list gun sales for 72 hrs

Yes: 53 (60 votes needed)
No: 47

Senate Gun Control Vote Four:

Blocking gun sales to suspected terrorists on ‘no-fly’ list

No: 53

The move did not go down well with victims of gun violence, or advocates for better control.

Just saw victims of gun violence who were in the gallery weeping in Senate lobby after gun control amendments failed.
