Legislation aimed to reform gun laws, largely headed by President Barack Obama, failed on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday. None of the Democrat-backed proposals reached the 60-vote mark — including those aimed to expand background checks, ban assault weapons and outlaw high-capacity magazines. Only two proposals survived the Senate floor. An amendment looking to limit the ability of state governments to share information about gun owners, sponsored by a Republican Senator, passed. Legislation authorizing suicide prevention and other mental health services for young people also passed, overwhelmingly.

Ninety percent of Americans and 74 percent of National Rifle Association members support background checks before “all gun buys,” according to PolitiFact.com. Only 54 percent of senators voted in favor the proposal.

Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and other Democrats announced they are freezing the background check bill on Thursday afternoon. Reid plans to reintroduce the legislation once gun control lobbyists have had more time to speak to Republican senators.
