Didn't reach the 60 vote threshold.

Will update as news comes in.

UPDATE: AWB Defeated 40-60 Frankenstein is pissed.

Oh my gosh! The senators have defied the will of the people! Obama said it was unimaginable!

Update: The usual RINOs voted for it.

The proposal, named for Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) and Patrick Toomey (R-Pa.), would have expanded existing background checks on gun buyers to cover firearms sold at gun shows and via the Internet.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid voted against the proposal. He was joined by Democrat Sens. Baucus, Begich, Heitkamp, Pryor.

“Reid voted no for procedural reasons,” CBS News’ Major Garrett explains. “As Majority Leader, a ‘no’ vote allows him to bring the amendment up again.”

Arizona Republican John McCain voted in favor of the bill. He was joined by Republican Sens. Collins, Kirk, and Toomey.

I know this thread will soon be inundated with my fellow RR members expressing heart felt appreciation to Republican Senators for standing-up on behalf of our
sacred 2nd amendment rights!

And, I know I won't be the first but, nonetheless, let me hasten to say HOORAY FOR THE GOP!

That is a foolish place to put your Faith

This isn't over. That was one of about 13 amendments that were to the base bill. They have voted on 4 or 5. Still more to go and then S. 649 needs to go down in flames.

No Ced it is not over--you really think the Left will stop? Man that kind of thinking is delusional
