Gun lobby ponders next move after House gun law changes
In Washington, gun lobbyists and lawmakers debate the path forward after the House voted to weaken provisions of the 1968 law while keeping the interstate handgun sales ban. Senators may accept the House bill or seek conference to soften or drop key gun control provisions. The vote, 286 to 136, drew mixed support among Democrats and Republicans as police and gun control advocates pressed for stricter limits. Wayne LaPierre said the NRA backs the House version, praising the bill's stance on interstate rifle and shotgun sales and other provisions, even as the Reagan administration supported changes. The scenario centers on balancing protections for gun owners with ongoing efforts by gun control groups and law enforcement to curb firearms.
