The article indicates that this time the House will not reach for the procedural ease of the suspension of the rules procedure. They will consider the bill, I think, under “regular order” and a closed rule (no amendments allowed). This requires only a simple majority to pass. It does takes more time because of the debate allowed.
The NRA is trying to stir up a phoney gun rights issue on the bill, and Democrats don’t want that “poison pill” allowed as an amendment.
