GUN CONTROL VOTE FAILS IN SENATE - Obama Lambastes The Senate In Angry Speech
In a subsequent statement at the White House, President Barack Obama lambasted the Senate in what he called a "shameful day in Washington."
Sixty votes were needed to pass the legislation through the Senate. Four Democrats voted no on the measure. All but four Republicans voted no.
With prospects already looking bleak, gun-control supporters lost two potential key votes earlier Wednesday, as Sens.
In addition to Heitkamp, the other three Democrats voting against the measure were Sens. Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Max Baucus (D-Mont.), and Mark Pryor (D-Ark.).
