WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate sponsor of a defeated compromise on expanding gun sale background checks says he’ll consider changing the measure to add people on the government’s terror list to those forbidden from owning firearms.

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia says he’s trying to find enough votes to push an altered background check measure through the Senate. Senators rejected it last week.
