For the second day in a row, the House of Representatives passed legislation related to gun control, the latest proposal dubbed the so-called"Charleston loophole" bill, aimed at closing a gap in the background check system that allowed a man to purchase a gun and kill nine members of a church nearly four years ago.
The bill, HR 1112 was sponsored by Rep. Jim Clyburn, a South Carolina Democrat and -- as assistant House Democratic leader -- the highest ranking African-American member of Congress.
