A week after the Orlando killings in a night club, the US
senate yesterday failed to agree on enactable gun control laws to the
states. The Democrats and republicans had put forward amendments to
the standing gun laws to ensure that firearms do not find their way
into the possession of prospective terrorists. But all the proposals
fell through and none could scale up to 60 votes, the minimum number
needed to clear a procedural hurdle in the senate.
All four proposals(suggestions) to expand security checks on gun
sales and purchases fell through. Even a compromise could no be
reached to keep fire arms away from people on FBI's terrorism
watchlist. This happened as the parents and family members watched
with tears in their eyes from the gallery of the senate house, as the
realisation dawned on them that no viable conclusion will be reached.
