Dayton voted no, so the anti's don't like the Craig Amendment - whatever it is.

Is this it?

No, it's a new one, I think. I heard 1644. No clue what it is.

An exemption for the federal government, in other words. It's not a grave risk with the current administration, but Clintons' DOJ certainly enjoyed litigation of this nature. And parts of the GCA are so vague, it wouldn't be too hard for a future administration to start suing manufacturers under the guise of 'enforcement'.

But I could be wrong.

It sounds like it means that the gun manufacturers have to break criminal law for lawsuits against them to be legit.
DON'T take my word for it.

I don't believe that would affect insurance, so it would be okay.

Craig passed, 72:26.
Craig got on the floor and asked that the Laughtenberg ammendment vote not take any longer than 10 minutes. The Craig vote took 30.

Yes, Lautenberg Amendment is up. Craig openly complained on the floor that some members of the Senate are dragging their feet, chewing up too much time. So he asked for 10 minute votes instead of 20 minutes.
If you notice, the anti-gunners are the ones whose names get called over and over till the very end.
Seems to me like they are trying to waste as much of the day as possible so that a small possibility that this won't get voted on today. That would give them time for their leftist cohorts in the media to bombard the general publics opinion for another month.
I don't see Craig allowing them to do this.

Wouldn't it be easier to count yea's. Only have to count to 30.

The votes I want to see on Lautenberg's amendment are Levin and Stabenow although I know where they stand already. Jerks.
Martinez and Salazar - where they stand?

I think we just hit 51 votes for no.
EDIT: Bunch more "no's" since they rattled off the last tally, so unless I can't count (that's a possibility!) this amdt is dead.

Salazar - no. (Interesting as he's a swing gun vote)
Landrieu - no
If Landrieu voted no, there's little chance of passing. She's slightly anti.

Lol! Anyone else see Feinstein talking to Senator Craig? She looks like she's lecturing him.
