I'll have to look up the bills, I don't trust the Congressional titles any more, but this sounds good.
Harry Reid officially pulled the Senate gun control bill from consideration, saying he planned to bring it back up at another time.
Before the bill was pulled two amendments were passed, both proposed by Republicans. The Harkin Amendment, No. 730: To reauthorize and improve programs related to mental health and substance use disorders, passed with a vote of 95-2. (Roll call here)
The second amendment was Barrasso Amendment. No. 717: To withhold 5 percent of Community Oriented Policing Services program Federal funding from States and local governments that release sensitive and confidential information on law-abiding gun owners and victims of domestic violence. That passed with a vote of 67-30. (Roll call here)
This follows Wednesday's Senate votes rejecting, background expansions, Feinstein's gun bans, large capacity ammunition bans and the Republican's alternative gun bill.
