By a vote of 53 to 46, the Senate voted to uphold the Second Amendment and to prevent the US from joining the UN Arms Treaty.
Both IN senators voted with the majority to protect out rights to keep and bear arms.
A note of thanks is due to them both, but IMO especially to Joe Donnelly who bucked the Democratic Party leadership in joining a half dozen or so other Democrat senators, mostly from western or southern states, in doing so.
I understand some folks being disappointed with his earlier vote on universal background checks, I was too. But this vote shows some political courage in our direction. Credit where credit is due.
