Well, the House just passed their version of this bill yesterday (HR 5103) by a margin of 322 to 99 (or 402-23, depending on which vote you consider). Unlike the Senate version that passed 84-16 earlier, this one prohibits not just using a particular source of federal funding to confiscate firearms, but prohibits any federal agency or any state or local agency that receives federal funs from confiscating firearms during an emergency. Given the overwhelming margins in both houses, it seems very likely that some version will be passed out of the conference committee. Let's hope that it's the House version.
