Kleindienst Urges States to Regulate Handguns
Richard G. Kleindienst told the Senate Judiciary Committee that federal law to outlaw handguns would be unenforceable due to state diversity and that regulation should be left to the states. He favors the federal role mainly in prosecuting cross state gun crimes. Senator Birch Bayh urged a ban on cheap small caliber handguns, claiming they fueled police killings and urged administration backing to remove “cop killers” from streets.
