Brady Bill again blocked by Senate Republicans
Senate Republicans blocked sending the Brady Bill to President Clinton as Congress instead passed a jobless benefits extension for 1 million Americans. Dole criticized Democratic changes to the gun control measure and warned of future business if the bill proceeded in its current form. The House-Senate negotiators, led by Democrats, trimmed provisions including antique weapon exemptions and dealer notification rules, while the House approved a compromise Brady Bill with a five business day wait period.
