SHARE WATCH: Live video of U.S. Senate gun debate, vote

Last week, the U.S. Senate voted to cut short a GOP attempt to filibuster the current gun bill on the floor. Debate on the bill is underway and a vote is expected this afternoon at 2pm (Chicago time) though proponents of the bill are worried there aren’t enough votes to get it passed.

Find live video below of events on the Senate floor.
