Compromise Gun Bill Clears Senate
The Senate approved a compromise gun bill to curb interstate rifle and ammunition sales and ban all imports of surplus military firearms. It imposes licensing limits, prohibits sales to certain groups, and sets up penalties up to five years in prison and $5,000 fines. Internal Revenue Service chief Cohen warned of nationwide weapon stockpiling and urged enforcement as Congress hurries to final passage.
