    Gun control proposal rejected by Senate

    WASHINGTON — Senate scuttled the most far-reaching gun control legislation in two decades Wednesday, rejecting tighter background checks for buyers and a ban on assault weapons as they spurned pleas from families of victims of last winter’s school massacre in Newtown, Conn.

    “This effort isn’t over,” President Barack Obama vowed at the White House moments after the defeat on one of his top domestic priorities.

    A bid to loosen restrictions on concealed weapons carried across state lines was rejected, as well.
