"A statement by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was disabled by a shooting attack, and her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, said the Senate had "ignored the will of the American people."
Citing polls that showed around 90% support for expanded background checks, the statement said "senators voting against the measure chose "to obey the leaders of the powerful corporate gun lobby, instead of their constituents.""
that about sums it up for me. it won't solve all of the current gun problems, but parts of it can certainly help.
i'd sure like to see them make an effort to go after all of the illegal guns, also.
