Stdflbn Two -- Pag* Eight THE McRENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, July 8# 1965 i^apltof Report Even before the assassination of President Kennedy there was action in the Congress for federal firearms legislation. The fact 'that Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged as-, sassin, was able to purchase his high-powered rifle by mail order (with no questions asked) has focused attention on the lack of existing controls over gun sales. The principal firearms bill in the present Congress is sponsored , by Senator Thomas Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut, a former F.B.I. agent arid a person dedicated to preserving Constitutional principles. Senator Dodd's bill (S. 14) would require that anyone seeking to purchase firearms by mail should furnish an affidavit in duplicate containing the following information: (a) name, address and age of the purchaser; (b) a statement that no law is being violated by the purchase; and (c) the name of the chief local law enforcement officer. Under the Dodd proposal, it would be unlawful for a mail order house to ship a gun until after one of the affidavits had been sent by mail to the local law enforcement officer --and received by him. Thereafter, the law enforcement officer would be furnished with a description of the gun, but not its serial number. Senator Dodd has brought out in the Senate hearings that 25 per cent of the firearms purchased by mail in the District of Columbia are sold to persons with criminal records. Another high percentage of mail-order sales of firearms is made to minors, mentally ill persons and various irresponsible elements of our country. In considering federal firearms legislation, members of Congress are mindful that the second Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "the right to keep and bear arms shall not be impaired." However, the Dodd bill does not appear to infringe on this Constitutiona. right, and most witnesses before the Senate committee have not contended otherwise! Indeed, Senator Dodd states that his bill has been amended to satisfy questions raised by the National Rifle Association j and other sportsmen's groups. Other measures pending in the Congress which call for registration of all firearms or which would require a permit to purchase or possess firearms have been met with strong objections by sportsmen's and other groups and these bills do not appear tc have substantial support in the Congress. Included in this latter group are bills such as that sponsored by Congressman Bob Casey of Texas which would make it a federal offense to employ a gun in the commission of any crime. Some federal firearms control law is almost certain, to be enacted at this session of the Congress. Thereafter, the effectiveness of any such law will depend upon the enforcement and the public support which it receives.
