Virginia lawmakers blocked one of Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam’s proposed gun control bills Monday, as the state continues to be the center of a fierce battle in the nation’s gun debate.

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted against Northam’s bill, which would make it a felony to “recklessly leave a loaded, unsecured firearm” in a way that endangers a minor.
