Reid is going to allow Grassley-Cruz to be offered after the vote on Toomey-Manchin; but it will need 60 votes - so probably dead.
Reed, Senator from some NE banana republic, argues for AWB. Sen. Richard Shelby comes out swinging hard with a speech that would make TFL members think "Man, that guy is a little too gun crazy.". Very pro-2nd |

There may be a pro-gun procedural reason for Reid to vote for the AWB. I need to do more research. Calling the roll for voting now.

54-46! Toomey-Manchin fails.
Grassley-Cruz alternative up. Leahy arguing it is better to kill all gun laws in the Senate today than take Grassley-Cruz. |

Did you all notice Reid was last, and voted Nay?

I did notice that. Ouch! Did you see Tester and Landrieu fell on their swords?
Calling roll for Grassley-Cruz alternative now. |

Senator Reid's office confirmed his support for the AWB on the phone with me a few minutes ago.
I have supported and defended Senator Reid here and elsewhere, given him the benefit of a doubt, assumed he was maneuvering on our behalf, but it is now my top priority to make sure this traitor is done here in Nevada. |

Huge support for alternative. Will pass?... Hmmm maybe not, going to be close; but several TM votes got onboard.

Of course, what we're missing in our celebration, is we're still left with what Schumer put out. Which was still by far worse than Manchin-Toomey on the floor.

Is Cruz complaining a Straw purchase would be a straw purchase? If Dad send me to Cabelas to buy a gun for him with his money, it's a straw purchase even if Dad is the Chief of Police.

That's already in the base bill. They don't lose it by voting down the amendment.

We really gotta get rid of our Tennis Shoe Mom. First she rips off Tom Clancy, and now she votes Aye to 711.

I took particular pleasure in watching Feinstein's AWB crash and burn (40 yea to 60 nay).

As sweet as this victory is, it's all the sweeter knowing Bloomberg isn't happy. If he's unhappy about something gun related, then I'm the exact opposite.

Obama just claimed that this is "only round one". Don't relent. Let your senators know that you appreciate their "nay" votes, and try to vote out the rest.
