In a major defeat for supporters of tougher gun laws, the U.S. Senate on Wednesday defeated a compromise plan to expand background checks on firearms sales as well as a proposal to ban some semi-automatic weapons modeled after military assault weapons.

First paragraph of the article. Also the last time I checked, criminals weren't trying to obtain firearms in a legal manner and most mentally disturbed individuals (Lanza) don't have criminal backgrounds that prevent them from purchasing firearms.
The only people these laws would have even affected would be law abiding citizens. Obama should pull his head out of his ass and stop cutting funding to groups like NAMI (
http://www.nami.org/) instead of trying to disarm the country to push his socialist agenda.
