I don’t have any more information than what’s contained in this one extremely thin little PR announcement:

Senator Lee to Offer Amendment Tonight to Ban Most Gun Control in the Senate

…later tonight, Senator Mike Lee of Utah intends to offer an amendment to the budget resolution that would prohibit any gun control legislation which does not have a 2/3 vote in the Senate.

I’d like it to be true. I’d like it to pass. But I suspect that, at best, it’s a little bit of political theater that’ll simply get wiped away.

A rule that makes *any* new federal law or regulation that infringes upon basic rights contingent upon requiring a 2/3 majority seems like a good idea to me.
