Major Presidential Contenders Back Gun Control Push
The Emergency Committee for Gun Control reports five presidential candidates support tighter firearms rules, with positions on licensing and registration varying. Dirksen now backs state gun licensing, aligning with Mansfield, while Humprey, McCarthy, Nixon, Rockefeller, and Stassen offer differing stances on nationwide or state regulation and mail order bans. The report comes as Congress gears up to act on Johnsons mail order gun ban and licensing measures. A separate IRS ruling classifies the Spitfire Carbine as a machine gun for registration under the National Firearms Act.
