House Moves To Tighten Gun Sales After Kennedy Shooting
In the wake of Senator Robert F. Kennedy's death, the House pressed toward final approval of a broad gun control measure.

The bill passed 317 to 6 to send to a House Senate conference, amid debate over Supreme Court rulings and executive opposition.
