Anyone remember?
Senate Republicans rejected a bill that aims to stop suspected
terrorists from legally buying guns, on Thursday. The vote came a day
after at least 14 people were killed during the San Bernardino massacre
in California by two suspects, including a woman said to have pledged
allegiance to ISIS.
Forty-five senators voted for the bill and 54 voted against it. One
Democrat, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, and one Republican, Sen.
Mark Kirk of Illinois, crossed party lines.
The measure would have denied people on the terrorist watch list
the ability to buy guns.
