WASHINGTON: The White House on Tuesday de**unced the "cowardice" of US senators who failed to pass gun control legislation taken up in the wake of the Orlando nightclub massacre.
Four bills -- two proposed by Republicans and two by Democrats -- went down to defeat in the US Senate late Monday.
"What we saw last night on the floor of the United States Senate was a shameful display of cowardice," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told MSNBC television.
"They were common sense bills that were put forward that should have drawn strong bipartisan support that would prevent individuals who are currently suspected of having ties to terrorism from being able to buy a gun," he said.
A**ther Democrat-backed bill aimed to strengthen criminal and mental health background checks for those seeking to purchase firearms at gun shows and on the Internet.
