The legislation would place restrictions on military-style assault weapons like the AR-15 rifle that authorities say was used in the attack that killed 11 and wounded seven. A final vote will take place next week. Harris, Smith and Anthony Coghill voted against the bill O'Connor co-sponsored. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic)
