GUN control supporters in the US Senate won the first showdown over how to respond to the December school shootings in Connecticut, defeating an effort by conservatives to derail firearms restrictions before debate could start.
The 68-31 vote Thursday gave an early burst of momentum to efforts by President Barack Obama and lawmakers to push fresh but modest gun curbs through Congress. The National Rifle Association, along with many Republicans and some moderate Democrats, says the proposals go too far.
Next Tuesday The Senate considers a proposal to expand required federal background checks to gun shows and online firearms sales.
