WASHINGTON 鈥?Democrats get their long-sought votes on gun control a week after the massacre in Orlando, Florida, but election-year politics and the powerful National Rifle Association dim any prospects for changes in the nation laws.The Senate will vote Monday night on jordan four measures 鈥?two sponsored by Republicans, two by Democrats. All are expected to fail in a bitterly divided Congress.Gun control remains at a stalemate as few lawmakers are willing to challenge the NRA and no mass shooting the past five years 鈥?from Phoenix; to Aurora, Colorado; to Newtown, Connecticut; to Ch air max 1 arleston, South Carolina; to San Bernardino, California 鈥?has led to new laws. Polls show large numbers of Americans agree with the need for at least some limited gun measures such as background checks. But Democrats have been unable to translate that into legislation because the NRA is able to mobilize and energize voters who will threaten to vote lawmakers out on the gun issue alone.Laws didn ;t stop them in Boston. Laws didn ;t stop them in San Bernardino, where you had every type of gun control law that you could have. And they didn ;t stop them in Paris, where people can ;t e asics ven own guns, NRA chief executive Wayne LaPierre told CBS ; Face the Nation on Sunday.The four votes on Monday night are the result of a deal after Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., filibustered for almost 15 hours seeking action in response to the Orlando nightclub shooting |
