Both measures came up one vote short of passing.
The divisive issue of gun control brought a rally after two failed attempts at passing legislation on Tuesday to the Pennsylvania Capitol.A bill banning bump stock s and similar devices failed in a 101-100 vote in the Pennsylvania House on a near party-line vote that saw one Democrat, Rep. Frank Burns, D-Cambria County, side with Republicans in keeping the bill short by a single vote needed to pass.
Bump stocks are devices that use a gun's recoil to make the act of pulling the trigger of a semi-automatic weapon easier and faster, substantially increasing the rate of fire.The devices were banned by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms under the Trump administration following the Las Vegas music festival shooting in 2018 that left dozens dead.However, that ban is being challenged in the U.S.
