I'm on it.

Here is the number to the Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121

In addition to your own, I think McConnell would be a good one.

Please list any others that might be on the fence.

NYT reporting all 4 Failed. Anybody have the roll call?

NYT says

Further action on gun safety measures or mental health provisions before the election in the fall seemed unlikely, given the rush to finish a series of spending bills to fund the government and the few weeks that Congress will be in session before November.

But Reuters says

All four of the measures to expand background checks on gun buyers and curb gun sales to those on terrorism watch lists - two put forth by Democrats and two by Republicans - were expected to fall short of the 60 votes needed for passage in the 100-member chamber.

But lawmakers in the Senate were still trying to forge a compromise for later this week that might keep firearms away from people on terrorism watch lists.

Rand voted for the Cornyn amendment.
