The first vote was on the amendment by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, to enhance funding for an existing gun background check system which needed 60 votes to pass. The final vote tally was 53 to 47.
The second vote was on a measure by Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., to expand gun background checks and close the so-called gun show loophole where firearm purchases are not tracked. The final vote tally was 44 to 56.
Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas pushed a measure that would allow the government to delay a gun sale to a suspected terorrist for 72 hours, but require prosecutors to go to court to show probable cause to block the sale permanently. The National Rifle Associated backed the legislation, but it failed in a final vote of 53 to 47.
The Senate will still vote on a measure by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to keep people on a government terrorism watch list or other suspected terrorists from buying guns. The Justice Department has endorsed her legislation. ( This was also killed will update with numbers when i have them)

I actually agree with this one :
Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas pushed a measure that would allow the government to delay a gun sale to a suspected terorrist for 72 hours, but require prosecutors to go to court to show probable cause to block the sale permanently. The National Rifle Associated backed the legislation, but it failed in a final vote of 53 to 47.
Plus side : it forces them to deal with the real issue and seek prosuction of these people
Negative side : They will find out they are being watched and will go to ground, Or the rush prosecution and they get off.

They will blame the NRA as if the NRA is a singular entity.
