Perhaps my info is wrong, but I've seen this from multiple sources, some progun, and some antigun, so I think this might be accurate. The bill has also passed the House, 215 to 214. I don't really know much about the rest of the bill, but I like this part.
This happens often. Bills get modified, they get sent back and forth, and on one of the volleys it will just die.
Then after years of that happening not even passing the things they want to pass, they wait until there is a CR (continuing resolution) with a deadline to put all the dead legislation they've seen over the years, whether good or bad, and they actually pass it because a deadline prevents the volley.
Which is why you want to put the most based shit possible in these bills. It's not going to pass anyway. We might as well get them working up the muscle memory of voting yes, abolish the fed, or yes, make it illegal for a state to offer any kind of welfare to an illegal immigrant, or yes we should eliminate capital gains tax on individuals making less than $50k from realized gains (everyone but hedge funds).
