Senators will vote Monday on gun control proposals after Democrats waged a near 15-hour filibuster to force a debate on the issue.

But it would also let the attorney general delay the sale of a gun to anyone who has been the subject of a terror investigation within the past five years.
Cornyn told repoters earlier Thursday that he was optimistic he would be able to pick up more Democratic support next week, because he isn't including a provision that would have cracked down on cities that don't support federal immigration laws.
The Senate will also take votes on competing background check proposals.

The Senate will also take a procedural vote on a proposal from Democratic Sens. Chris Murphy

Their proposal would require — with a handful of narrow exceptions — a background check for the sale and transfer of any gun.
It would also impose penalties for states that don't make data for NICS electronically available and would require federal agencies to certify that they have handed over all records on any individual that would be prohibited from buying a gun.
Because of how McConnell filed cloture on the four proposals the senators will vote on the background check proposals, before moving to the fight over suspected terrorists being able to buy a gun.
