Now Manchin is using the families and teary eyed victims. This is disgusting how they are portraying that the amendment was common sense. They completely ignore the other garbage that was in it which would have reduced our rights.
Gary:
Two more bills to vote on tomorrow, noonish their time.

--- Quote ---A number of other amendments also failed to earn the 60 votes necessary to pass: A GOP proposal including a number of changes, 52 to 48; a bipartisan amendment to stiffen penalties for “straw purchasers,” 58 to 42; a GOP-backed amendment that would have permitted “national reciprocity” of state-issued concealed carry permits, 57 to 43; a GOP plan to extend gun rights for veterans, including those deemed unable to manage their financial affairs, 56-44; and a Democratic amendment to limit the size of ammunition magazines, 54-46.
