Reid also said he was dropping from consideration Senator Charles Schumer’s bill to expand background checks.

Now this is news to me.

Is there confirmation?

“Reid indicated a proposal sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) to expand background checks to cover private gun sales would not make it in the base bill, either.”
