...substance - of victory for tighter laws. Voting 305 to 118, the House passed and sent to the Senate a bill that would limit interstate mail-order sales of long guns and certain types of ammunition.* However, charged the bill's disappointed floor manager, Brooklyn Democrat Emanuel Celler, the measure left loopholes "aswide as the Grand Canyon." Among the 19 amendments adopted was one permitting gun collectors to qualify as "dealers" and thus become exempt from the interstate ban. Another amendment - a clear victory for the National Rifle Association - would exempt long-gun ammunition from the mail-order...
...coalition of conservative Midwesterners and Southerners, ramrodded by South Carolina's Republican Strom Thurmond, riddled Joseph Tydings' gun-control bill with escape-clause amendments, leaving little hope for enactment of a meaningful law by a Senate racing to adjourn by Aug. 3. In the House, Veteran Emanuel Celler, a doughty proponent of stiff gun laws, concluded sadly that he lacked votes to overcome a House Rules Committee roadblock.

That nationwide state of anarchy already exists, but even Representative Colmer would never assert that professional agitators raced from city to city, setting riots ablaze in over 30 communities at the same time. Emanual Celler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the Judiciary Committee, was closer to the basic reason for rioting in the ghettos when he cited "the discontent of the Negro, his disenchantment as to promises made but not fulfilled, the dreary pace by which he achieves equality." This bill has served only to arouse more deeply such frustrations and rage, for it does not relate to the basic...
