Ok, looks like we still have a little issue here.

Apparently Mr. Reid plans to hold two votes on Ms. Feinstein’s bill. One will be the AWB bill including the magazine restrictions. I think we all know this is not going to pass, but provides some cover so Senators can vote against it while supporting the other initiatives.

Mr. Reid apparently plans to also hold a separate vote on just the magazine limit portion of the Bill. Apparently the Senate Leadership believes the magazine restrictions might have a chance of passing.
