Grassley/Cruz (unveiled this morning) failed 52-48

What's messed up is SAF backed it, made it sound like we were gaining a lot and loosing essentially nothing, but VCDL disagreed. I didn't read the actual text of it myself but with that said, glad it got killed

Leahy / Collins amendment: gun purchasers can buy firearms from FFLs to give as bona fide gifts (no sales) failed 58-42

Reid voted no as a procedural move allowing it's reintroduction at a later date. It is not dead.

Cornyn amendment: 57Y - 43N, not agreed to.
Basically allowing concealed carry permit recognition across all state lines.

Franken-feinstein up next.

Not only does Feinstein not understand the phrase "shall not be infringed", she apparently doesn't understand the phrase "the senator's time is up." Everything about her disgusts me. Voting on the AWB amendment now.

lol I was thinking the same thing.

Obama on TV at 5:30 to talk about today's gun control vote. Expected to parade out the families of Newtown again to stand behind him. You wanted your vote Mr. President and you got it. Time to move on.

Feinstein amendment: 40Y - 60N, massively not agreed to.
We all know about this monstrosity.

And she was complaining about the need for 60 votes vs a simple majority. 11 votes shy of the lower threshold. Good!

Burr amendment up next.

Now they have a damn live speech thing and the Dems are crybaby little bastards trying to gain ground on something they lost on. GIVE IT UP. The MAJORITY of America enjoys our RIGHTS. Sit don and SHUT UP.

I just watched Shumer of NY argue that anybody who couldn’t handle his finances was at least partially incompetent and that members should vote nay on the Burr Amendment because folks who couldn’t handle their finances mostly should be put on the NICS list with no judicial oversight and that the few who might have gotten a raw deal should get some relief in another form.

I’d say, based upon the spending and budgetary malpractice in the entire Congress and the senate in particular, every damn body in the Congress should go on the NICS list.

lol Yeah I thought that too, but then the laws they pass never apply to them.

Burr amendment: 56Y - 44N, not agreed to.
Requires a *court adjudication* to decide on a veteran's RKBA.

Lautenberg / Blumenthal amendment up next.

She looked like she was going to burst a vessel while yapping at the lectern.

Lol @ mk4 - anyone got a screen cap of that? I'd like to make that my background
