And not one single one of those proposed laws would have prevented the Orlando attack, just as not one single proposed law that came after Sandy Hook would have prevented that mass shooting.
Liberals never fail on seizing the moment to further their agenda.
Love how the libs are trying to spin the Orlando attack into anything but what it was; an Islamic terror attack.

The Republican amendment would have flagged the purchases and LE could of blocked it for up to 72 hours and permanently with a court order. It went back five years whether you were removed or not. I'm not clear on this but I don't think Feinsteins amendment would have because you had to be on the list.
It's unlikely either of these bills would have prevented something from happening unless he was arrested on the spot when he tried to purchase them.
The majority of Americans, including gun owners, want tighter gun control laws. Why can't the politicians listen to the people? There will never be improved gun control laws until something like 30,000 a year are killed by guns--oh wait, I guess that's not enough.
The collective cannot take liberty from the Constitution, without bloodshed.
There already is a background check for guns bought at gun shows.

I'm watching the Senators mill around smiling and making small talk on C-Span while they vote down anything that might save lives. Bunch of cold-hearted cynical idiots.
If anyone cared about saving lives, we can go back to the national 55MPH speed limit.
It's only common sense, right?
Also, it is unlikely that the new laws would save any lives.

illegal guns are sold all the time at garage sales, new laws won't change that. Most people that do that don't even know it's a law.
Shall we throw gramps in jail?
