Democrats want gun votes, leave options open if GOP says no

With GOP leaders planning roll calls next week on their proposal making it harder for some terror suspects to acquire firearms, Democrats on Friday demanded accompanying votes on two measures they prefer.

The GOP bill would let the government block firearms purchases for suspected terrorists, but only if prosecutors can prove in court that the buyer is involved in terrorism.

In a written statement, Ryan, R-Wis., called the GOP bill "a responsible measure that confronts this threat while protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens."
