He has changed his mind and will allow a vote on the bans in the package:

"I don’t know anyone who needs 30 rounds in a weapon to go hunting. Don’t people deserve as much protection as birds?" he asked, referring to laws that limit the number of shells in shotguns used by hunters.

No, Harry, anyone who is trying to kill, rape, rob me or my loved ones does not deserve as much protection as birds.

Perhaps this is his end game... Support it.... Get it added, Gun controlled killed by filibuster... Reid can claim true to his base, avoid tough votes for those in red states and gets an 'at a boy' from the gipper (Obama)... He has a few years to recover, if he intends to run again...

Harry got reelected because the GOP couldn't muster a candidate that wasn't a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

It is now the time, to call, fax, or write your emails to your Senators. I believe that some so called Pro-gun Dems and GOPs would flop.

Keep the pressure! Stand and fight for your right!

According to the Weazel Zippers blog, Sen. McCain has just flipped and will support the bill: http://weaselzippers.us/2013/04/17/brea ... -gun-deal/
