No,

I believe it is Dan Sullivan, but I am sure MC didn't know. 

Oh...I'm doing some more reading on what this thread is all about. I guess that's not Lewis in the line up either.

Meet the 45 Senators Who Blocked Background Checks

President Obama said that "there was no coherent argument for why we wouldn't do this. It came down to politics."

An amendment proposed by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to require background checks for commercial gun sales (but not for sales between "friends and neighbors") was shot down Wednesday afternoon in a 54-46 vote, failing to capture the 60 votes it needed to advance. The bill would have been a modest victory for gun control advocates, while ceding numerous concessions to the gun lobby (the NRA initially called it a "positive development.") Nevertheless, only four Republicans voted for the proposal, with 41 voting against it. Five Democrats rejected the proposal as well (Reid was a special case; see below). Standing with families of Sandy Hook victims, President Obama said that "there was no coherent argument for why we wouldn't do this. It came down to politics."

Senators rejected two gun background proposals Monday evening largely along party lines just over a week after the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

Senators voted 53-47 on a proposal from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) that would reauthorize funding for the National Criminal Instant Background Check System (NICS) and incentivize states to share mental health records with the federal system.

But 60 votes were needed to move forward with the proposal.

GOP Sens. Mark Kirk (Ill.) and Cory Gardner (Colo.) voted against moving forward with Grassley's proposal. Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly (Ind.) supported it.
The Grassley proposal would also have cracked down on preventing government agencies from selling guns to criminals as part of undercover sting operations such as Operation Fast and Furious, in which guns were sold to suspected gun traffickers, unless top Department of Justice officials sign off that “sufficient safeguards” are in place.

“Unlike Senator Grassley’s proposal, the Democratic alternative would not help prevent failed gun operations like Fast and Furious,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said. “Unlike Senator Grassley’s proposal, it would not require the Department of Justice to explain why it has not been using gun laws on the books to prosecute cases.”

But Democrats resoundingly rejected the GOP background check measure, arguing it would do little to make sure potential criminals or terrorists couldn’t buy a gun.

I am waiting for snowbeavis or mc to explain why the democrats voted against the 2 republican bills.  They have yet to give me an answer to that question.  They would rather deflect.

Seems the bills didn't go far enough for them I guess.

Depends on the state whether or not you lose it prior to conviction.   Has to do with Implied Consent statutes that you signed in order to get your license.  

How else can you be accused of something and lose your license?  

If you go back and prove you were against no fly lists I will retract my claim.
