Senators who support expanding criminal background checks for gun buyers said Tuesday that they intend to revive the legislation for a vote by this summer, though the measure won't be exactly the same as the one senators defeated a month ago.

"Whenever the support and the time is right we will do it," Manchin said Tuesday.
