In the whack ake of orlando, senate and republicans there agreed to a series of votes tonight on gun legislation. Our Congressional Correspondent nancy cordes at the capitol. Nancy, four measures put to a vote tonight all four of them failed. Even though everyone including the nra appears to agree that suspected terrorists should not have access to guns. The problem is that democrats and republicans have two Different Solutions to the problem and theyre halfhearted attempts at compromise have gone nowhere. Democrats have a measure that would block any one on a terrorist watch list from flat out being able to buy a gun. But republicans say that innocent americans could end up on the lists by accident and so their proposal would delay a sale for 72 hours while prosecutors worked to convince a judge to block the sale permanently. Democrats say, thats too cumbersome. So whats remarkable, scott, is debate has been. The senate is simply going through the same motions it always does after a mass shooting recently which is to vote on a series of similar proposals that end up going nowhere.
