Senate rejects third bid to strengthen gun control bill
The Senate voted 75 to 16 against Adlai Stevenson’s registration and licensing amendment. A broader bill would ban snub-nosed handguns and prohibit private possession of all handguns. Hart’s substitute to outlaw long gun private possession failed 84 to 7, Kennedy’s registration licensing plan fell 78 to 11. The votes follow the May 15 Wallace assassination attempt and Gov. Wallace’s gun control stance.
