Gun Control Law bans interstate sale of firearms
The Gun Control Act of 1968 became law at midnight, banning most interstate sales of rifles, shotguns, and ammunition except between licensed entities. Handgun sales remain restricted by prior law. It sets licensing fees, allows intrastate mail order with notice, permits repairs across state lines, and protects hunting, inheritance, and certain loan arrangements while outlining enforcement by the IRS.

Mohawks threaten bridge blockade over Jay treaty rights
Mohawk Indians of the St Regis reservation threaten to block the Cornwall Masena international bridge to protest Canadian duties and taxes on goods moved onto the Canadian side. They cite the 1783 Jay treaty guaranteeing free border access and plan to meet Prime Minister Trudeau to air grievances. About 150 leaders led by Chief Peter Thomas met to authorize the plan.
