Debate has already started. Mike Lee is up pointing out that nobody has read the text of key components of the bill and that it is perfectly reasonable to delay debate on this until they have.
Vote on motion to proceed scheduled for 11am Eastern. Senate starting their day now.
Reid up. Time between parties to be divided equally and controlled by leaders. Asks the Senate to forego the 30 hour delay after motion vote so they can begin debate of the bill immediately. Says the first bill to be offered will be the Toomey-Manchin Amendment (that not even other Senators have seen yet - big surprise).
Reid says bill will be open to all related amendments. McConnell up now explaining why he opposes the motion to proceed.
Blumenthal up now. Babbling. Blumenthal supports Toomey-Manchin Amendment. Promises to spearhead magazine ban and AWB amendments.
Sen. Murphy talking about dead children to advance various bans.
Blumenthal now claiming gun lobby is trying to create a registry of all the mentally ill people in the United States?
