The U.S. House passed a gun control bill that would raise the minimum age to 21 from 18 on purchases of certain firearms and toughen prohibitions on untraceable guns on Wednesday. The bill, which passed 223 to 204, is highly unlikely to pass the Senate where it would require the votes of 10 Republicans.
