Re: 16 Republicans vote to advance Gun Control bill, all B+

So a couple of questions:

1. Doesn't it now take a simple majority to pass the bill on the floor? If that is true, haven't the GOP Senators just handed over a lot more power to the gun grabbing Dems?

2. Since the language in the bill isn't yet available, how can anyone vote to have it come to Senate floor?


Assuming that it doesn't pass at least the House, having a bunch of Red State Senate Dems on record of voting for the bill may be a good thing for 2014. Passing by the Senate might give a lot of people the opportunity to replace Dems and Republicans who just don't get it during the next election. Yeah, I know that is very optimistic but I have to cling to what glimmers of hope remain these days.
