Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) won’t filibuster a motion to proceed to debate gun legislation, making it likelier that Senate Democrats will have 60 votes to begin debate.

“Sure, I’ll vote [to begin debate],” Coburn told TPM Tueday.

His spokesman John Hart added, “Eschewing this debate is a ‘stupid party’ strategy.”
