Gun Battle Resumes Over Gun Registration in Senate
In Washington the Senate opens floor debate on gun control measures including registration of all firearms and licensing of owners, and a bill to ban interstate mail order sales of rifles and shotguns. The proposal mirrors House action but omits Johnson’s broader registration and licensing plans, prompting a Tydings led push for state handled schemes before any federal takeover. Attorney General Ramsey Clark urged support, citing lives at stake, as Kennedy era momentum and public pressure shape the fight.
