Who's for National Reciprocity ... and who's against it

In the interest of public service to all gun lovers, here the list of who voted for and against the National Reciprocity amendment yesterday in the U.S. Senate. I proudly note that both of North Carolina's U.S. Senators, Democrat Kay Hagan and Republican Robert Burr, voted for it.

Here's the list I stole from the NRA-ILA site:

Remember those Nays come November. NRA-ILA leader Chris Cox sums up the vote.

“While we are disappointed that the 60 vote procedural hurdle was not met, the vote shows that a bipartisan majority agrees with the NRA,” said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox. “We would like to thank Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) and Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.), along with all senators who voted in favor of this amendment on both sides of the aisle. The efforts of these senators were not in vain, as the NRA will continue to work tirelessly to ensure this important legislation finds the right avenue to come before Congress once again.”

And Senator Thune said afterward it ain't over yet. He promised to bring this issue up again.
