"Shame On You" Shouted After Senate Fails To Pass New Gun-Law Amendment

Two women who were touched by mass shootings in the past were shouting "shame on you" after lawmakers defeated a bipartisan proposal to expand background checks on gun sales Wednesday.

The Senate voted 54-46 in favor of the amendment from Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa. These two women shouted "shame on you" because in order for the amendment to pass, there must be 60 votes in favor of the amendment.

The amendment would expand background checks to all online and gun-show sales.

Patricia Maisch and Lori Haas were removed from the Capitol by Vice President Joe Biden who called for the order after they were shouting "shame on you."

Maisch was a survivor of the Tucson shooting in Arizona.

"Because they are an embarrassment to this country," Maisch told reporters. "They don't have any compassion or care for people who have been taken brutally from their families."

On Jan. 8, 2011, 19 people were shot during a constituent meeting held at a supermarket parking lot in Casas Adobes, Ariz. One of which was Maisch, but she was fortunate enough to survive, while six did not.

Haas of Richmond, Virginia said she yelled out for her daughter Emily, who was shot but survived the Virginia Tech massacre.

"We are sick and tired of the death in this country and these legislators stand up there and think it's a bunch of numbers," Haas told reporters. "There's been 187,000 Americans killed since Virginia Tech. My daughter was shot and injured six years ago yesterday. It's a shame, it's appalling, it's disgusting."

On April 16, 2007, 32 were shot and killed with 17 others injured during a massacre on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg.

When President Obama spoke at the White House later on Wednesday, he said the Senate's vote had been "shameful," but that it was just round one of the fight.
