For nearly a decade, Sen. Pat Toomey, R.-Pa., has been at the center of Congress' frequent debates on gun laws, one of the few Republicans willing to support some efforts to tighten the rules.
Now, after the latest round of horrific massacres, Toomey says a group of senators are closer than he's ever seen to a bipartisan agreement. He told Fox News Monday that he hopes negotiators can develop a framework by the end of this week, though he indicated that timeline could be a stretch.
"I certainly can't guarantee any outcome, but it feels to me like we are closer than we have been since I have been in the Senate," Toomey said a day earlier on CBS's Face the Nation.
