The Congressional Record shows 3 amendments being proposed and 22 more submitted to S.397 as of last night. The key here is that proposed amendments will be heard on the floor and the submitted ones may never reach the floor for consideration.

The 3 proposed amendments are as follows:

Research will take time, but look for details later today.

 A bill to withhold funding from the United Nations if the United Nations abridges the rights provided by the Second Amendment to the Constitution, and for other purposes.

S.1488 and HR3436 were introduced yesterday. Their listed title is above. Right now that is about all we know. We will keep you informed as soon as the text becomes available.

Today the bill moved from the 'Motion to Proceed' phase to actually being on the Senate floor. Anti-gunners attempted to amend S.397 but have been unsuccessful so far.

There is an agreement to hear SA1626 tomorrow. It was referred to as a trigger lock law, but specifics are unknown. It's success is not assured, thankfully.

Just like we should not support those who do not support us, we should support those who do. Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco has invited the NRA national convention for 2007. Cast your vote here and we will forward the results to the NRA.

On a personal note, I don't know if the kind of facilities are available in Louisiana in the numbers usually required for a convention of this size. I also suggest that it really doesn't matter. Fighters for the Second Amendment are used to roughing it a little bit. I would have no problem staying in a 3 Star instead of a 5 Star hotel if it meant financially supporting an area of Constitutionally minded people where our spending would have a measurable, positive impact.

12:45PM ET - Majority Leader Senator Frist expresses his expectation that work on S.397 be completed before the summer recess. The anti-gunners are angry.

At 1:19 PM ET a roll call vote was completed on cloture to bring S.397 to the Senate floor. By a vote of 66-32 the cloture passed. This vote only limits debate on the Motion to Proceed and was not an up/down vote on the bill itself.
