A bill proposing expanding background checks on firearms sales could pass the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster rule, Republican and Democratic senators said.
“What we need to do is try to find a place where we can land, a place where there’s some common ground. I have long believed, as I’ve told you many times, the place where we ought to be able to get that done is requiring background checks on commercial sales,” Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), who is retiring from office in 2022, told “Meet the Press” on Sunday.
