Background check failed, 54-46

That was Manchin-Toomey.  It was the first amendment the Senate voted on.

Now Harry Reid is trying to shame the Republicans for not voting to expand background checks by using the victims again. He says its not over and that this is just the beginning.

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.

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.

Sorry for post bloat

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/04/17/1202553/-Senate-prepares-to-vote-on-nine-gun-amendments-Few-will-be-approved

Quote
• Manchin-Toomey amendment
• Grassley substitute amendment: would provide more money for school safety, for stepped-up prosecution of felons, and for mental health; stepped-up prosecutions of felons who try to get guns; allow interstate transport of guns
• Leahy-Collins amendment: would impose tougher penalties on gun trafficking and straw purchasers
• Cornyn amendment: would federalize interstate reciprocity for concealed-carry permits
• Feinstein amendment: would ban assault weapons and impose an ammunition magazine limit of 10 rounds
• Burr amendment: would mandate that people can only be barred from buying firearms for mental health reasons when a judicial authority has made that determination
• Lautenberg-Blumenthal amendment: would impose a limit of 10 rounds in ammunition magazines
• Barrasso amendment: would penalize states and constituent jurisdictions for releasing gun data regarding private citizens
• Harkin-Alexander amendment: Mental health programs in schools

Reading the text of the Collins amendment... uhhhh.... that's an AWB, not a straw purchase thing.  WTF ?

Got this from NRA:

Today, the misguided Manchin-Toomey-Schumer proposal failed 54-46 in the U.S. Senate. Six other amendments were also defeated:

Grassley-Cruz-Graham substitute amendment – Failed 52-48
Leahy-Collins trafficking amendment – Failed 58-42
Cornyn right-to-carry reciprocity amendment – Failed 57-43
Feinstein gun & magazine ban amendment – Failed 40-60
Burr protection of veterans’ gun rights amendment – Failed 56-44
Launtenberg-Blumenthal magazine ban amendment – Failed 46-54
