Us Lawmakers Vote On Gun Laws

Florida's Senate will vote on Monday on some gun-related measures in response to last month's deadly school shooting, including a proposal to train and arm teachers, but lawmakers have rejected a call by some students to ban assault weapons in the state.

A US lawmaker has compared an unprecedented sit-in inside the House of Representatives by Democratic lawmakers to the protest by AIADMK members in the Rajya Sabha in March, saying "other governments may behave this way" but US should not follow suit.

US President Barack Obama says each of his proposed steps to reduce gun violence should get a vote in Congress - even an assault weapons ban that both parties agree stands little chance of passing.
