Senator Chris Murphy pledged to speak on the Senate floor “for frankly as long as I can” to compel Republicans to hold a vote on two gun control measures, following the Orlando Pulse mass shooting.

The Connecticut Democrat was joined by other members of his party, and two Republicans, who offered him questions about the amendments to require universal background checks and prevent people on the no-fly list from purchasing guns.

Murphy said he wanted to “prompt debate and will provide an impetus for our sides to come together and find common ground.” And it looks like the effort worked.

I am proud to announce that after 14+ hours on the floor, we will have a vote on closing the terror gap & universal background checks

Murphy yielded the floor at 2:11 a.m., 14 hours and 50 minutes after he began, finishing with the story of two victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary mass shooting: six-year-old student Dylan Hockley and teacher’s aide Anne Marie Murphy.

Murphy now holds the record for the eighth-longest talking filibuster in Senate history, during which he could not eat or take a bathroom break.

While the Senate may now vote on the gun control measures, there’s still no clear sign they’ll pass. “Aides in both parties said there was little real movement by the end of the day, and both sides remained dug in behind their previous positions,” reports Politico.

The notion of keeping guns from terrorists seems like a political win, but there’s an impasse over the “how,” considering there are questions about due process and the terrorist watch list.

Last night, while Murphy and Senate Dems held the floor in the Senate, representatives in the House were reading the impact statement from the Stanford sexual assault victim into the Congressional record.
