In 1986 the bill debated on in the House of Reps

Latest Major Action: 4/10/1986 Passed/agreed to in House. Status: Passed House (Amended) by Yea-Nay Vote: 292 - 130 (Record Vote No: 75).


originally included a ban on silencers but at the last minute that was dropped and the machine gun ban was passed instead.

Any one know why?

Thanks
