2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIs there a list of how the votes on gun reform went down? Who voted against/for?
I would like to know so I can get my relative all over this country to begin to work to get the NRA-owned Senators and Congressman out of office. I don't care if they are men or women, D or R. We need them out!
he first amendment, from Grassley, fails to reach cloture. The vote was 53-47, the only defector being Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) who voted with Democrats because he really, really wants to be reelected.

Next up is the Murphy Amendment expanding background checks. It too fails the cloture vote by a near-party-line 44-56 vote. Democratic senators Heidi Heitkamp (ND), Joe Manchin (WV) and Jon Tester (MT) vote with the Republicans.

The Cornyn Amendment, providing for a 72 hour waiting period on gun sales to individuals on the terror watch list so that law enforcement can make the case that the individual is too dangerous to allow the sale to go through. Like each of these amendments it needs 60 votes to move forward; it fails, 53-47.

Last up is the Feinstein Amendment, giving the Attorney General's office the power to block gun sales to individuals suspected of terrorist ties. It fails 47-53. Sen. Heitkamp again votes with the Republicans, Republicans Kirk and Ayotte vote with the Democrats.
