His no vote is purely a procedural move to revisit the bill later.

It's his lack of leadership. He can't hold the caucus together.

If it costs a billion dollars, so be it.

Inundate the stations with ads.

The vote and pictures is the vote on the Toomey Manchin amendment...
The assault weapon ban was 60 nay 40 aye and Reid voted Aye taking away his procedural ability
