push to ban handguns gains support in Congress
Sen. Philip Hart and Rep. Jonathan Bingham reintroduce a handgun ban with limited exceptions for law enforcement and security personnel. Former police leaders Patrick Murphy and Jerry Wilson back the measure citing rising officer fatalities. The bill would require private sellers to liquidate handguns to the government within six months, with penalties for unauthorized possession.
