U.S. Senate Democrats discussing new gun control push

Leading U.S. Senate Democrats are discussing how to revive a push for legislation imposing additional gun controls in the wake of last weekend's mass shooting in Florida, according to a senior Senate Democratic aide on Monday.

The aide did not provide details and senators, who have been on a weekend recess, will be back on Tuesday.

They know they don't have the votes in the Senate to pass anything of substance, much less be able get something through the House.
