Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania and Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia to greatly expanded background checks for gun sales.
Begich appeared skeptical, saying his two Senate colleagues had only held a news conference. “There’s no bill, no amendment,” he said. “I’ve seen this played before. Until I see it in detail… I’m waiting to see what that looks like.”

Is this true? No bill and no amendment and they are voting on both this morning?

We have to pass it to see what's in it?

"That language of the bill is still being crafted. But multiple Senate aides briefed The Huffington Post on that specific provision..."
