After many of them sent "thoughts and prayers" toward the victims of the mass shooting in Orlando last week, Senate Republicans cast enough votes against a group of gun safety bills on Monday -- including two proposals from within their own party -- to prevent them from moving forward.
The move, while perhaps not surprising, still angered many Twitter users who supported the measures, which included expanded background checks and a ban on gun sales to individuals on terrorism watch lists.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who accused Democrats of trying to "craft the next 30-second campaign ad," came under particular criticism, while other users took the moment as a call to vote the Kentucky lawmaker and his colleagues out for their actions on Monday.
