Here’s a partial list of the Republicans who voted today to leave open a loophole that allows people on the terrorist watch list to buy firearms:
Senator Kelly Ayotte
Senator Roy Blunt
Senator Richard Burr
Senator Ron Johnson
Senator John McCain
Senator Rob Portman
Senator Pat Toomey
“When given the opportunity to make Americans safer and show that Congress can work together, Republicans voted ‘no’,” said Lauren Passalacqua, DSCC National Press Secretary. “It’s reprehensible that with everything going on in the world, these Senators won’t stand up to the special interests and pass a commonsense measure like closing the terrorist gun loophole.”
