Vice President Biden said the country is “on the verge” of requring universal background checks for gun purchases.

Speaking to supporters of gun control during a call hosted by Mike Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Biden said it wasn’t clear in 1994 that the background checks bill passed then would be so easily bypassed. He sounded an optimistic tone that talks ongoing now would close the loophole.

“No one anticipated that there would be a loophole big enough to drive a Mac truck through,” Biden said. “I think we’re on the verge of getting a serious, thorough, universal background checks system in place and it will, emphasize will, it will save lives.”

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va) has been searching for a conservative Republican senator to back universal background checks since early February. He has yet to make a deal.
