Gun Ban Called Likely To Expire

WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled House will not renew the federal ban on Uzis and other semiautomatic weapons, a key leader said Tuesday, dealing a significant blow to the campaign to clamp down on gun sales nationwide.

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said most House members are willing to let the ban expire next year. "The votes in the House are not there" to continue the ban, DeLay told reporters.
