Senate Republicans are continuing to promise a filibuster on gun-regulation legislation this week, even as 11 family members of the Newtown shooting victims are pushing Congress in Washington, D.C. today for stricter gun laws. Meanwhile, Sens.

The deal would also require sellers to maintain a record of those background checks.
