Sen. Toomey Holds Out Hope For Gun Legislation 'Consistent With Second Amendment'

Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., on Sunday said he hopes there will be Senate agreement on a measure that could include expanded background checks for gun sales to help curb the nation's relentless mass shootings.

In an interview on CBS News' "Face The Nation," Toomey called controlling gun ownership a "big, complicated problem."

"Republican voters expect Republicans to defend the Second Amendment," he said. "I think there is a place to land that's consistent with the Second Amendment, as I've been advocating for expanding background checks."
