COMMENTS: Majority is Too Small for NRA
Tuesday, CBS' Bob Orr previewed the proposed amendment to the Pentagon Budget that would make it easier to carry concealed weapons across state lines. Now NBC's Kelly O'Donnell and ABC's Jonathan Karl file brief updates on the result. The majority of the Senate--a 58-39 vote--supported the loosening of gun controls, but those 58 were two too few for passage. "This is the first major defeat for the National Rifle Association on a Congressional vote in ten years," ABC's Karl calculated. NBC's O'Donnell told us that the District of Columbia, Wisconsin and Illinois still ban packing concealed heat.
