DAHBOO 77 - ALL 4 "GUN CONTROL" AMENDMENTS GET 'SHOT DOWN' BY SENATE

Senate lawmakers blocked four gun control amendments in procedural votes Monday evening, forcing Senate leaders back to the drawing board just days after a dramatic filibuster and a political agreement to allow the votes after the Orlando massacre.

Monday's votes showed that while senators are eager to do something about guns, the two parties sharply disagree over exactly what to do, which appears to leave them little room to find a compromise.

The last vote of the night was on a measure authored by Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., that would have given federal authorities the power to block gun purchases by anyone under FBI scrutiny for terrorism within the past five years. However, it was soundly defeated 47-53, and even a slight majority vote wouldn't have helped, as a 60-vote supermajority was needed to advance it.

Just before that, Democrats blocked language from Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, that would have implemented a 72-hour waiting period for gun purchases by people on the federal terror watch list. His amendment was seen as a compromise, but it failed 53-47.
