Major disappointment to advocates of Strong gun controls who apparently had miscalculated their strength. Although they had predicted an Uphill fight they anticipated a much closer outcome. was support of the two amendments was confined mostly to Liberal Northern democrats and a handful of republicans. Southern democrats and most republicans lined lip against the registration amendments along with a scattering of Northern democrats most of them from Rural areas where gun controls Are unpopular. Friday s action marked the first time in 30 years that the House had voted on a gun control Bill As such. Last month the House approved a Senate provision b a n n i n g interstate mail order sales of handguns As part of the omnibus crime control act which now is Law. That restriction on handgun sales would be supplemented by the gun control Bill now before the House it would prohibit interstate sales to private individuals of All firearms rifles and shotguns As Well As hand guns. In addition it would ban interstate sales of ammunition and Over the counter sales of rifles and shot guns and am munition for them to anyone under 18 arid not resident of the dealer s state. Similar restrictions would apply to handguns and handgun ammunition except that the age limit would be 21. Although the House defeat of the two registration Amend ments appeared to doom prospects for a registration licensing Law gun control advocates plan to carry their fight to the Senate. However the Senate judiciary committee has yet to approve its version of the mail order gun Bill which gun control forces plan to use As a vehicle for another attempt at registration and licensing. In Friday s House debate gun control advocates called the mail order Bill a necessary first step. But they contended it did t go far enough to provide effective controls Over the nation s massive trafficking in firearms. Rep. Robert Mcclory re pub author of the amendment to Register hand guns said pistols and revolvers account for the great bulk of gun crimes. He said that a Federal registration system would Aid police immensely in keeping them out of the hands of criminals. Rep. Mcclory however opposed the Effort by rep. Jona Thon b. Bingham Democrat new York to broaden his amendment to include rifles and shotguns. Both amendments were denounced by rep. Robert l. F. Sikes a former Board director of the National Rifle Asson. Rather than curbing crime rep. Sikes shouted they would do exactly the opposite they would give the criminal a free land to Rob kill Burn and rape. Have we forgotten april in Washington when stores were burned the american people Haven t forgotten. They want crime curbed not among those arguing for the registration amendments were to Southern California republicans reps. Charles m. Teague of Ojai and Alphonzo jell of los Angeles. It is argued that the regi stration and the payment of a Small fee would be an i Conven ence and a hardship rep. League said. But to me if Only a few Hundred lives Are aved per year out of the which Are lost some Small convenience would be Justi rep. Bell called registration a crucial Point of testing and roving our real desire to Cope with gun crimes.
