(<em>Photo: Allison Shelley\/Getty Images<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The architects of the 2013 federal universal background check bill are now contemplating another gun-control push in the Senate following the mass shooting at the Emanuel A.M.E. Church in South Carolina, reports the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/powerpost\/wp\/2015\/06\/23\/manchin-toomey-both-interested-in-reviving-gun-control-push\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"manchin-toomey-to-revive-gun-control-push-in-senate\" title=\"Manchin, Toomey to Revive Gun-Control Push in Senate?\">Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), sponsors of the Manchin-Toomey amendment, expressed a desire to revisit the issue Tuesday night at a reception hosted by the Sandy Hook Promise, a gun-control organization founded after the shooting at the elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to make sure we have the votes. Pat\u2019s going to have to, and I\u2019ll work with him, to get some of our colleagues on the Republican side,\u201d Manchin said, adding that he hasn\u2019t spoken with Toomey specifically about what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n<p>Toomey, who was being honored with the inaugural Champion Award, echoed those remarks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I\u2019m trying to figure out is, is there something that could get the support of the 60 votes that we would need in the Senate,\u201d Toomey said. \u201cJoe Manchin was and is a great partner and someone I will continue to work with, and I\u2019m open to exploring what is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted that nothing was on deck at the moment, \u201cbut if we stay at it I think we\u2019ll find a way to make progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The duo\u2019s last bill, which would have expanded background checks to private transfers, including those made over the Internet and at gun shows, fell six votes shy of the 60 needed to overcome a GOP-led filibuster in April of 2013.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) called for a revival of universal background check legislation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs that asking too much? Couldn\u2019t we at least do this little thing to stop people who are mentally ill, people who are criminals from purchasing guns?\u201d Reid said on the Senate floor.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll have to keep a close eye on these two in the coming weeks and months. Given that the 2016 elections are not that far off, it\u2019s difficult to imagine that many lawmakers would be willing to risk their necks on a flawed gun-control proposal. But we\u2019ll see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The architects of the 2013 federal universal background check bill are now contemplating another gun-control push in the Senate following the mass shooting at the Emanuel A.M.E.
