John Breshnahan and Manu Raju report that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will not include Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s assault weapons ban into the Democrat gun control bill.

Instead, the ban will be offered as an amendment to the existing bill on the Senate floor which will have a separate vote.

“You will have to ask him [Reid],” Feinstein said, when asked why the decision was made.
