A gun bill that passed the legislature and is on its way to Governor Sebelius is drawing some national attention.

The bill, which allows individuals to own machine guns, sawed-off shotguns and silencers, was a topic of discussion on national television and radio news programs Thursday night and Friday.

The Senate approved the bill Thursday on a 28-9 vote. The House passed it last week 105-18.

The bill now goes to the Governor. Spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran says that Sebelius will have to review it before deciding whether to sign it.

State law limits the possession of silencers, sawed-off shotguns and automatic weapons. In December, the attorney general said part of the law is so restrictive that only law enforcement agencies can possess silencers. That means no dealer can have them in Kansas, even to deliver to those agencies.

Supporters say the bill also would benefit gun collectors.
