  5. Cowardly Senate runs away from gun background checks

    Polls indicate that 80% to 90% of Americans support expanded background checks for firearms sales, but on Wednesday such a plan could not get 60 votes in the United States Senate. In the White House Rose Garden, surrounded by families of children gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School, President Obama called the Senate vote “shameful” and declared that this was “just Round 1” in the fight to get gun safety legislation adopted by Congress.

  12. Coats defends his vote on guns

    Although polls nationwide and in Indiana show overwhelming support for tightening background checks for gun purchases,Sen. Dan Coats, Indiana's Republican senior senator, voted "no." He says most constituents who contacted him wanted him to do just that. In a wide-ranging interview in Mishawaka, Coats said the gun issue broughtmore calls, e-mails and letters to his office -- more than 40,000 -- than received on all other issues combined in the past two years. Coats said more than 75 percent of the messages were in opposition to tighter background checks in the proposal of Sens. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., which died in the Senate after failing to get a required 60 votes.
