Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) says Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has promised Democrats that he will bring up gun control legislation again in 2013.

“Reid had already told us [last week] that they were definitely going to bring it back up again,” she said last Friday, according to The Hill. “We don’t know when that time will be, but he said before the end of the year.”

Senators are working behind the scenes to win the votes needed to break a filibuster after the Manchin-Toomey background check legislation failed to clear the 60-vote threshold last month.
