WHAT ARE PIsToLs COOP FOR?-Pistols are
used for two purposes that we know of and for
on the Fourth Of July, and, second, to commit
murder with all the year around. We know of
absolutely nothing else that they are good for.
They are not used in war anymore, for they are
OF no use in battle. Infantry do not carry them
to reach them with pistol. They are never
used In hunting, for they neither shoot straight
enough nor carry far enough to bring down
game Why, then, should their existence be
tolerated or their manufacture permitted. DE
