DISARMING THErGUN WIING

one of the most serious problems confronting the people of the United States Is the enactment of adequate laws 10 check crimes of violence that annually disgrace the records of this county. At first sight nothing looks simpler. A law rigidly restricting the sale of weapons and the license to carry thaae would seem all that IS necessary, but, as proved by receh exp.rience ill the State of New York, laws based on this principle result in disarming the law-abiding cltlzeh without in the least affecting criminals who lave scores of under-handeo means of obtaining weapons and who welcome with open arms any law that will insure chem defenseless vic tims.
 Other States besides, New York have sought to devise laws to prevent gun toting by criminal and Irresponsible nsnple. but each attempt to deter the resnectable citizen from arming him. ealf has proved the Eallaey of the theory that the thug and the crook can be legislated out of Business b!
