Martin Doubts Proposed Gun Control Legislation
Congressman Dave Martin questions a national gun bill moving through Congress. The veteran notes the House Rules Committee approved the measure ten to five, with his opposition. He argues the bill would curb mail order sales, cross state purchases, and impose age limits, while suggesting state regulation and tougher penalties are more effective. He criticizes enforcement and favors focusing on felonies and crimes rather than broad bans.
