Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Sunday that universal background checks for gun purchases are the “sweet spot” that he believes lawmakers on both sides of the aisle can come together and agree on.
“I’d say this is the sweet spot in term of actually making us safer and having a good chance of passing, this is it,” Schumer said of background check question, during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Schumer said he is the author of a bill on universal background checks and is talking with both pro-gun Democrats as well as Republicans about the issue. He predicted “in the next week or two, a proposal that has broad support for universal background checks.”
