That bill would repeal parts of ObamaCare so it was near and dear to the Republicans&#8217; heart.<\/p>\n<p>The two major anti-gun amendments were brought up by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV). Feinstein&#8217;s amendment would have made anyone listed on the FBI&#8217;s secret Terrorist Screening Database a prohibited person for NICS checks. The Manchin amendment was a repeat of 2013&#8217;s Manchin-Toomey universal background check bill.<\/p>\n<p>Both amendments needed 60 votes to pass. Fortunately, neither even got a majority.<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein&#8217;s amendment failed 45 Aye to 54 Nay. Meanwhile, Manchin-Toomey failed by a vote of 47 Aye to 50 Nay as reported live on the Senate&#8217;s livestream. It seems that an additional vote was added to the Aye column in the final reprot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lkeane\/status\/672549571965427712\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">As NSSF General Counsel Larry Keane pointed out on Twitter<\/a>, Manchin-Toomey got 7 fewer votes in 2015 than in <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2013\/04\/manchin-toomey-fails.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2013<\/a>. (Actually, 6 but still&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>Both of these votes were cynical efforts on the part of Democrats to play off on yesterday&#8217;s terrorist attack in San Bernadino, California.
