RE :”
Several Republican senators have threatened to filibuster gun control legislation of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. That could be modified with a bipartisan proposal announced Wednesday by Republican Sen. Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania and Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia to greatly expanded background checks for gun sales.
Begich appeared skeptical, saying his two Senate colleagues had only held a news conference. Theres no bill, no amendment, he said. Ive seen this played before. Until I see it in detail
Im waiting to see what that looks like. Is this true? No bill and no amendment and they are voting on both this morning?
We have to pass it to see what's in it?

We have to pass it to see what's in it? I have been searching and searching to find more than the section by section outline of the compromise background check language. I wanted to read the exact language.
As I suspected, the exact language is still being written as the vote occurred.
As stated in the following article from this morning. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/11/national-gun-registry_n_3060625.html
"That language of the bill is still being crafted. But multiple Senate aides briefed The Huffington Post on that specific provision..."
