House passes limited gun controls as Johnson seeks broader ban
The House approved a 368 to 17 anticrime bill limiting pistol and revolver sales while President Johnson urged Congress to adopt Kennedy style wide sweeping handgun and rifle restrictions. Kennedy’s proposal to cover all firearms failed 5 to 29, debates over wiretapping and Supreme Court rulings cloud the measure. The bill allows a 180 day start, bans mail order handguns, restricts store sales to state residents, and sets sporting use criteria for surplus weapons with Treasury rulings needed for exceptions. It also funds a $400 million two year program to bolster local police forces.
