Has the Thune amendment been voted on yet?

Yep:

I don't think so. I'm streaming AM radio, and the news breaks only mention that the issue is being debated on the floor. Of course a vote could be called for at the drop of a hat.

Edit:
I guess I'll defer to Jorg's simultaneously posted info. Shot down.

Missed by 2 votes.

Rejected....check out Google News homepage, theres a link to a CNN article 10 mins ago.

No, just the Thune amendment was killed, i.e. failed to get attached to the defense spending bill.

No, just the amendment. Frankly, I am stunned we made it this far in this Congress. Look for it again next year. And ol' UpChucky caught lying on video again, about Vermont issuing permits to 16 year olds, (no permits needed in Vermont), that 16 year old Vermont gangbangers would bring in bags of guns to sell on NYC streets, (newsflash, UpChuckie, gangbangers don't care about gun laws, and are carrying on your streets anyway!), and he stated in print that Alaska is issuing permits to violent misdemeanors, (no permit needed in Alaska either, last time I checked), plus insulting my home state, too.

Alaska issues permits, although they aren't required in the state.

Republicans, George Voinovich of Ohio and Dick Lugar of Indiana both voted no. If those two would have voted yes it would have hit 60 and passed.

You folks in Ohio and Indiana need to remember this come election time. But I wonder,
would it really have been a great idea to give the federal government a "way in"? Would this not have given them a tool to start restricting at a federal level the right to carry?

"Both Arkansas Democrats voted yes, but Mark Pryor had initially voted no and then changed his vote at the very end to "yes" when it was clear he wouldn't be a decisive vote."

A real stand on your principal kind of guy.

We got 58 votes in the Senate. 51 is still the bar in the Senate for a non-filibustered bill. So it failed a cloture vote, I assume, if I understand the process right?

I am impressed we got 58 votes. Having succeeded on National Park Carry and very narrowly failed on this, I wonder what is "in between" that we should be working for next.

P.S. The other side will never be able to put together 60 votes with the current Senate membership to reauthorize the semi-auto ban.

Sounds like it!

Where can I find who voted for/against the Thune Amendment?

You now know how to vote in the next election.

I thought REED was going to vote yes if he was sure it would fail? Or did he just promise to brirng it to the floor?

My mistake I got my Reids mixed up. Harry did vote yes.

Easy mistake. You stopped my heart for a second, though.

I thought Gillibrand (D-NY), from upstate New York, was pro-gun? Did someone pay her off to convert to anti?
