I’m on my way to floor to hold a vote so we can begin debate on gun safety reforms. This is the beginning, not the end. Need your support!

As Newtown families watch, McConnell, Rubio, Cruz, Pryor, Begich vote against even allowing debate on solutions to gun violence.

4. Begich is a Democrat

It doesn't surprise me though that he is siding with the gun industry on this issue though..

2. Apparently: "Senate votes to move the firearms bill forward"...

Per CSpan yays have it 68-31.

ETA:
Next:

"A vote to proceed is expected by midday, at which point the Senate will launch into several weeks of debate on dozens of proposals to stiffen and weaken gun laws and make changes to how the nation funds school security and mental-health programs."
