With Vice President Joe Biden presiding over the Senate, an amendment to expand background checks on gun purchases failed to pass through the body, falling by a mostly partisan vote of 54-46.
President Barack Obama will speak at the White House at 5:30 p.m. on the failure, the White House said.

he’s more angry about people getting to keep their first amendment rights than about the terrorist attack in Boston! You mean “Second” amendment rights.
