Crapo, Risch Help Kill Gun Bill
Idaho GOP Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch helped carry the day for opponents of tougher gun laws during a 2-hour string of votes late Wednesday . A filibuster-proof three-fifths vote was required for passage of amendments to the Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act of 2013. All seven amendments considered Wednesday failed to meet that threshold, which was agreed to by Democratic and Republican leaders. Last week, Risch and Crapo were among 14 GOP lawmakers who promised to filibuster any new gun control measures they see as infringing on 2nd Amendment rights/ Dan Popkey , Idaho Statesman. More here.
