Gun Control Bills Rejected by US Senate

Followed by the Orlando night club massacre, Gun control bills were presented in US Senate. The US Senate has thrown out four gun control bills.

The votes came after one Democrat took the House floor last week for nearly 15 hours to demand action on gun control.

Though partisan differences plague debate in the Republican-dominated chamber, the bills reflect a shift in American sentiment on guns.

The Senate voted down legislation that would have closed a gun show loophole and expanded background checks.
