Senate Now Voting on Amendments to Gun Legislation



The Senate on Wednesday is debating and will vote on several amendments to S649, the gun legislation bill which Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) introduced last week. One of the first amendments debated and voted on is the amendment by Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) which deals with background checks when purchasing a firearm.

Dear friend... I cannot tell you how relieved I am... he should never have voted for cloture in the first place.

When this amendment fails, it means that the original language in the bill, as written by Chuckie Schumer, will stand. Several red state Dems up in 2014 are gonna have to choke that one down..

Reid voted no so he could raise it again, I guess.

Senate does not live tally, but the clerk will read the totals after voting is complete.

Reid’s “No” vote was procedural. It allows him to bring up the amendment again at a later time.
