Senate Bill 1805 has been defeated

Senator Larry Craig, the primary sponsor of the bill, was the last to speak before the final vote. In his own words: "I believe it is so dramatically wounded that it should not pass, I ask my colleagues to vote against it." As GeekWithA.45 said, he called for his own bill to be taken out behind the barn and shot.

The final vote was 8 yeas and 90 nays. This effort to extend and expand the AWB has failed.
