House Senate gun bills roadblocked
In the House the managers of a gun control bill switched signals and postponed a floor vote until next week. They voted down key provisions for registration of guns and licensing of owners and moved to other business. The less controversial measure would ban most interstate shipments of rifles and shotguns except between dealers and limit store purchases to residents 18 or older. The President views handgun controls as a good step but inadequate and urged extending them to long guns with strict registration and licensing.
