The Senate on Thursday shot down a Republican-backed joint resolution that disapproves the Biden administration’s new rule on pistol braces.

The resolution, originally sponsored by 182 Republican members of Congress, passed the House last week by a largely party-line vote of 219-210. It failed by one vote, 49-50, in the Senate.
