Gun Control Debate in the Senate

The Senate voted 68 to 31, according to this article, to allow this debate to continue. Many spectators believe that prohibiting guns and the selling of guns will solve the problem of these random shootings. The Senate is thinking about doing the opposite. The are in the works of coming up with a bill for gun control, but it is still up in the air on what the bill will say about gun control. This article is speculating that the Senate will put less restrictions on guns. This is not what the families of the victims of any mass shootings want to hear.
My opinion is that loosening or tightening the gun laws is not going to stop some people from trying to get a gun. Either way the Senate votes and whatever the bill says in a couple of months, people will be upset by it. Many people also believe that if the Senate doesn't do something soon people will forget what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary.
