It was a safe and cowardly vote for him since he knew he didn’t have the votes necessary for passage. It also allows him to bring it back to the floor if and when he thinks he has the votes since he voted with the prevailing side.

Bill defeated. That's a victory for We the People, and a loss for the traitorous b*stards trying to disarm We the People. But always remember, FRiends ... socialists and communists never give up, they only regroup for the next assault. Be vigilante.

“Reid’s “No” vote was procedural. It allows him to bring up the amendment again at a later time.”.

Just a procedural ploy. I’ve beeb saying they will NEVER stop trying to get this done and eventual complete confiscation. It’s they holy grail and NOTHING will stop them, ever.

Reid’s original bill will come up and I think it is next based on what another senator said.

Good! Undoubtedly the blistering email I sent him was the factor which made him do the right thing LOL.

You have a long wait. The bill is far from dead. Only the first of several amendments failed.
