WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Pat Toomey on Sunday said he’s hopeful his gun background check legislation could be revived in Congress, but he has received no new firm commitments of support from his colleagues or commitments for a vote from Senate leadership.
"I’ve spent a lot of hours on the phone and communicating other ways with my colleagues this week," Toomey said on "Meet The Press." "I do think there are some members who were not supportive in the past and are reconsidering. I haven't gotten anyone who said, 'Yes, sign me up,’ but there are definitely members who are reconsidering. The president’s expression of support for strengthening our background check system is very constructive.”
