Third Gun Control Bill May Reach Congress Soon
Washington sources say public pressure for tougher firearms laws could push President Johnson to send a third gun control bill to Congress this year. The proposal would require some form of gun registration and faces organized opposition from the National Rifle Association. Former astronaut John Glenn heads an Emergency Committee to Lobby for Stronger Firearms Laws, seeking to mobilize support amid wartime-like public outrage over recent assassinations. The NRA mobilizes large numbers, but the White House contends sustained public demand could overcome opposition and move registration legislation forward.
