Tea party senators (Rand Paul) to Reid: We will filibuster any gun bill

Three conservative tea party senators have put Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on notice that they will filibuster any bill that could infringe on the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

GOP Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah will hand-deliver a letter to Reid’s office on Tuesday, according to Politico.

“We will oppose the motion to proceed to any legislation that will serve as a vehicle for any additional gun restrictions,” the letter states.

Reid announced that Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s well-publicized assault weapon ban will not make it to the Senate floor, but a measure calling for universal background checks and ending interstate gun trafficking is expected to emerge after the recess.
