President urges new gun controls and crime bill cautions

President seeks to prohibit mail order rifle and shotgun sales, bar long gun sales to under 18, and restrict over the counter long gun sales to out-of-state buyers. He notes may amend pending crime legislation, while warning veto could reset gun policy. Johnson cites murder rates to back tighter laws. The crime-control package also limits handgun sales, funds police aid, and includes controversial provisions on wiretaps and evidence rules.
