Senate Now Voting on Amendments to Gun Legislation



The Senate on Wednesday is debating and will vote on several amendments to S649, the gun legislation bill which Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) introduced last week. One of the first amendments debated and voted on is the amendment by Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) which deals with background checks when purchasing a firearm.

Biden only took the first vote. Maybe he has left now to go cry.

LOL. Biden has left to go lie!

Murkowski and Collins voted with that demonic-rats on this one.

Obama will be making a statement in a little while on the vote. No doubt he will time it to be the lead on the evening news shows.
