by Lindsey MacNabb, CNNWelcome to the live blog!The gun debate has been revived across the nation as two pro-gun control Democrats in Colorado lost a recall election after voting for a law imposing stricter gun restrictions that would limit magazines to 15 rounds and require universal background checks. Missouri's state legislature came within one vote of overriding the Governor's veto of a bill that would essentially void all federal gun laws.
Ousted Colorado State Senate President John Morse and gun rights activist Will Cain join hosts S.E. Cupp and Van Jones in the Crossfire tonight to debate gun laws.
Tune to CNN at 6:30pm ET for the show and jump into the conversation on our live blog. You can also tweet using #CrossfireReturns and your tweet may appear right here.

State battles intensify on access to guns(CNN) -- Debate over guns continues to inflame the nation, especially after the mass killings in a Connecticut school late last year that prompted President Barack Obama to seek new federal restrictions.Obama's efforts have stalled, but several states are now redefining their own laws for firearms. Those measures run the gamut. On one hand, New York toughed its gun laws. But in one extreme, Missouri sought to effectively obliterate federal gun laws, which eventually failed. -
Colorado recall election prompts gun debateWashington (CNN) -- A recall election in Colorado has shown that the national debate over guns is just as bitterly contested as ever. Two state senators who voted for stricter gun laws earlier this lost their jobs in a recall election and the outcome is reverberating through the country.State Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and his colleague, state Sen. Angela Giron of Pueblo, were faced with a recall after voting for Colorado's new gun law that imposed universal background checks on gun purchases and limited magazines to 15 rounds. It was the first ever recall in the state.
