"A Shameful Day for Washington"

The Senate decided not to vote on gun safety measures today.

The President called it "a shameful day for Washington."  You can watch the video of his remarks online.

The Huffington Post "Gun bill background check amendment fails, other key provisions follow," by Michael McAuliff (4/17) has a lot of information, including photos of all the senators who voted for and against.
