Republican Sens. Marco Rubio (FL) and Jim Inhofe (OK) have signed on to a letter threatening to filibuster new gun legislation, according to Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) communications director. 

The original letter, from Sens. Lee, Rand Paul (R-KY) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) to Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), warned that the senators would oppose “the motion to proceed to any legislation that will serve as a vehicle for any additional gun restrictions.”
