Senate gun control deal stuck on issue of federal background records

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Reports of an imminent deal over new gun controls were dismissed by a key Republican negotiator Sunday as senators struggled to find a middle way between calls for tougher regulations in the wake of the Newtown school shooting and fearsome resistance from the gun lobby.
The Senate Judiciary Committee convenes on Thursday to begin thrashing out positions over proposed legislation relating to the sale and manufacture of guns. Speculation is running high that a deal is in the offing between leading senators for a bipartisan bill that would extend FBI background checks to all gun sales as a means of weeding out criminal buyers or those with mental health problems.
