Whatever controls we can impose upon the sale and distribution of those weapons of death. I say let us go to it. I am relieved by the language of S. 49 to the extent that it prohibits firearm and ammunition possession. receipt. or transportation in commerce by convicted felons. fugitives from justice. certain drug users. persons subJect to adjudication as mentally defective or are under a commitment order. illegal aliens. those who have received a dishonorable discharge from the armed services. and those who have renounced their U.S. citizenship. I am relieved also to find that S. 49 imposes a prohibition on shipping. transporting. possessing. or receiving firearms in commerce by any individual who knows that his or her employer is a prohibited person as listed in the bill. It also makes it unlawful for any person under indictment for a crime punishable by 1 year or more imprisonment to ship. transport. or receive any firearm or ammunition.
