KARL ROVE: I’m not certain how effective it’s been at changing the mood on Capitol Hill, people are either open to this or they weren’t. Frankly, the point that Senator Cornyn made, I thought, was a good one. Anything we’re talking about now in the background check proposal [by] Manchin and Toomey would not have stopped any of these four previous horrific murders.

But, look, I think there was a little bit of an overreach. People want this issue to be discussed, they want it to be decided and we don’t need to block everything in the Senate.

CHRIS WALLACE: So, overreach by the Senate Republicans?

ROVE: Some of the Senate Republicans.
