Last night, following the worst shooting in American history, they did it again-voting down basic measures that could help keep guns away from extremists who seek to kill people. It's pretty simple: People with possible ties to terrorism who aren't allowed on a plane shouldn't be allowed to buy a gun.
We can't stop every tragedy, but we can stop some of them. That should have been enough for Republican Senators last night.
