Two senators leading negotiations on a possible deal on gun background checks confirmed that they couldn’t reach an agreement.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) told reporters on Wednesday that he was negotiating with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on a potential deal but talks were cut off. Murphy confirmed in a statement released later that the talks have indeed broken down.
