TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - The Kansas Senate has approved two relatively narrow gun bills after rejecting numerous gun-control proposals during a lengthy debate.
The vote Thursday was 25-15 on a bill clarifying rules for allowing people with permits to carry concealed guns in other states to carry concealed in Kansas.
Senators voted 40-0 to pass a bill making it a felony under state law for anyone convicted of domestic violence to possess a firearm within five years of a conviction. The change would allow prosecutions in state courts rather than federal courts that may not have time for them.
The House passed both bills last month but must consider Senate changes.
Senators debated but rejected proposals to ban the use of bump stocks and impose a three-day waiting period for gun purchases.
