Even Harry Reid, the lead Democrat, voted "No" on the background checks.

I hope they lose by 70 votes!

Only four Republican senators committed to voting for the amendment ahead of time. The last was Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who announced his support Wednesday afternoon. The other three were Toomey, Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine.

Glad we won this round but I would still like to see mccain walk his shin right into a tailgate hitch... I suspect they knew the count before it started.

Reid could have put the nail in this & dropped us in the grease.

Reid is a party leader. Love or hate, and he generally votes for his people. He is also strongly backed by the NRA.

Feinstein bill to ban assault weapons goes down 40-60... I think.

I'm glad I'm not this cynical...

Pragmatism, not cynicism. Wait and see.

They are WAY more resilient than we are. While you're saying, "Yes, we won!," they are already re-shuffling the deck to come at us from another angle.

They already have so much momentum in their favor, it's silly to think common sense applies anymore. The last 2 elections are proof that voting won't stop what's coming. Meanwhile, as all this circus BS is going on, we're on TBH high-fiving each other.
