An editorial research report traces how gun-control advocates shifted emphasis to state and local action, noting Massachusetts new one year prison for carrying a gun without a permit, South Carolina limits on pistol sales and stricter handgun standards, and responses from city leaders like Chicago Mayor Daley and Los Angeles Mayor Bradley. It cites U S Treasury data on handgun origins, and recounts President Ford's stance against federal gun-owner registration while urging crime legislation.
