Controversial gun legislation cleared a key Senate hurdle Thursday, as lawmakers
voted 68-31 to start debate on the package which includes expanded background
checks and new penalties for gun trafficking.Senate Democrats, joined by
16 Republicans, were able to overcome an attempted filibuster by GOP senators
opposed to the current bill. Those senators could still slow-walk the debate,
but the Senate will eventually begin votes on amendments -- one of
which is considered crucial to winning support for a final vote.The White
House called Thursday's tally an "important" but "early milestone," as both
sides of the issue prepare for a grueling debate -- one that
is being waged in Washington and on the airwaves. The amendment likely
to be at the front of the line is one from Sens.

a planned test vote on the sweeping gun control legislation. The so-called

aide told Fox News that Democrats are likely to reach the 60-vote
threshold needed to proceed toward debate and eventually a final vote. They
will face resistance from more than a dozen Republican senators, including
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who have vowed to try to block the
legislation.A compromise struck between conservative Sens. Joe Manchin,
D-W.Va., and Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., boosted the legislation's chances and
earned praise from President Obama."I applaud Senators Joe Manchin and Pat
Toomey for their leadership on forging a bipartisan agreement around commonsense
background checks that will make it harder for dangerous people to get
their hands on a gun," Obama said in a written statement. "This
is not my bill, and there are aspects of the agreement that
I might prefer to be stronger. But the agreement does represent welcome
and significant bipartisan progress."But Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., echoed
many Republicans in calling it "a good-faith but unworkable plan.""The proposal
