Chris Murphy (D-CT) put forth an amendment that would require universal background checks for all gun sales, including those between private buyers and sellers made over the Internet and at gun shows.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) put forth an amendment that would prohibit the sale of firearms and explosives for those on the terrorist watchlist.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>She introduced a similar version of the bill back in December, following the mass killing in San Bernardino, CA.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It also failed to clear the Senate.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) put forth an amendment that would increase funding for NICS, the FBI\u2019s system for running background checks on prospective gun purchasers, to ensure the information is up to date and accurate.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The bill would also seek to clarify language regarding the mental health disqualifications for gun purchasers.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) put forth an amendment that would give the government the power to deny the sale of a firearm to a suspected terrorist for a period of 72 hours after which time prosecutors would have to go to court to show probable cause on why the sale should be blocked, permanently.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This bill was backed by the NRA.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It also failed to clear the Senate in December.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Undoubtedly, the gridlock was frustrating for both sides.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It didn\u2019t take long for advocacy groups to weigh in on the matter.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, voiced his ire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;Shame on every single senator who voted against these life-saving amendments and protected the rights of terrorists and other dangerous people to buy guns,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Meanwhile, Chris Cox, the executive director of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), accused Democrats of \u201cplaying politics\u201d and failing to address the \u201cthreat of radical Islamic terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe all agree that terrorists should not be allowed to purchase or possess firearms. We should all agree that law-abiding Americans who are wrongly put on a secret government list should not be denied their constitutional right to due process. These are not mutually exclusive ideas.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It is shocking that the safety of the American people is taking a backseat to political theatre,\u201d said Cox.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe thank the majority of the senators for rejecting the gun control proposals of Senators Feinstein and Murphy. We applaud Senators Cornyn and Grassley for securing majorities for their common-sense proposals. We look forward to working with those interested in real solutions to keep the American people safe, including their right to defend themselves in the face of government failure,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bottom line: nothing\u2019s changed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four gun-control bills failed to clear the Senate Monday, falling short of the 60-vote threshold needed to pass the upper house. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":59634,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,469,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-59632","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-gun-control","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Breaking: Four Gun Policy Bills Fail to Clear Senate!<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Four gun-control bills failed to clear the Senate Monday, falling short of the 60-vote threshold needed to pass the upper house.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/breaking-four-gun-policy-bills-fail-clear-senate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Breaking: Four Gun Policy Bills Fail to Clear Senate!\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Four gun-control bills failed to clear the Senate Monday, falling short of the 60-vote threshold needed to pass the upper house.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/breaking-four-gun-policy-bills-fail-clear-senate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-06-21T00:36:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-19T21:10:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Senate.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"627\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"390\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
