Schumer has already said it's gone. The only holdout so far is Manchin and he is pretty much a POS. Schumer will buy him off. I also wouldn't rule out Rmoney or Murk going for it, I mean, they are pretty much Democrats anyways. Also Collins is to worry, she isn't running again, so she has nothing to lose.
Feinstein is finally going to get her Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them in.

Luckily its not up to just Schumer. Manchin already counts in the 50, even if you add Romney, Murk and Collins you are still only at 53, 54 with Kamalas vote and you need 60 to get it to a vote. You say you wouldnt rule our Romney or Murk but explain to me how it would be in any of their interest to blow away the filibuster? This is beyond a gun issue, blowing away the filibuster has much much farther reaching consequence than just guns. I just don't see it happening and I don't see any Republican's, regardless of how left leaning they may be, going for it.
As for braces I think all of the available ones have letters but it wont matter if the ATF can just change their minds on a whim about them. So dont worry about it and get whatever you want.
