But it would also let the attorney general delay the sale of a gun to anyone who has been the subject of a terror investigation within the past five years.
Cornyn told repoters earlier Thursday that he was optimistic he would be able to pick up more Democratic support next week, because he isn't including a provision that would have cracked down on cities that don't support federal immigration laws.
The Senate will also take votes on competing background check proposals.
