NY Senate GOP blocks Democratic push for vote on gun control

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Republicans in the New York state Senate have blocked an effort by Democrats to force a vote on four gun control bills.
Democrats tried to bring the bills to the floor Wednesday but were overruled by the Senate’s GOP majority.
The bills would have strengthened background checks and funded research into gun violence. Others would have banned bump stocks and given the courts the ability to seize guns from people considere
