With over 60 votes, any possible filibuster is dead, correct?

This will help, flood the lawmakers.

Which amendments are those?   S.649 itself does not mention assault weapons or magazines.   According to the http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/s649 gov site it has only a 19% chance of passing.

Keep calling and writing our Senators and if you have time call Senators from other states as well and pressure them.

I called over 20 Senators last week and urged them to vote against this crap and to support the filibuster.

Husker_Fan:
The filibuster hasn't happened yet. This was a vote to bring the bill to the floor and open it for amendment. They will still have to go through the amendment process and then invoke cloture to end debate and move to a vote.
