DISARMING THE
GUN TOTING "CROOKo

One of the most serious problems
confronting the people of the United
States is the enactment of adequate
laws to check crimes of violence that
annually disgrace the records Of this
country. AT first sight nothing looks
simpler A law rigidly restricting the
sale of weapons and the license to
carry these would seem all that Is
necessary, but, as proved by recent
experience in the State of New York,
laws based on this principle result in
disarming the lawabiding citizen with
out in the least affecting criminals
who have scores Of under-handed
means Of obtaining weapons and who
welcome with open arms any law that
will insure them defenceless victims,
Other states besides New York have
sought to devise laws to prevent gun
toting by criminal and irresponsible
people, but each attempt to deter the
respectable citizen from arming him
self has proved the fallacy of the
theory that the thug and the crook
can be legislated out Of business by
so frall ruse as making 1t difficult
for him to buy arms in the open
market
There should be no difficulty in de-
vlsing an effective "bullet-proof' re-
yolyer law II the subject is first dis
sected in the light Of reason. Were
It possible by due process of the law
to arm every law-abiding citizen with
an automatic pistol and to compel
him to learn to shoot straight with

time to disarm every thug and Grim.

and standing to reason, no law al
variance with this principle can bC
a good law. The revolver law needed
is one which, on the one hand, will
encourage the arming of respectable
citizens and, on the other, will make
gun toting so hazardous for the
criminal that he will gladly dlsarn
himself Enact a law that will pro
vide
First; That the act Of carrying
firearms or other weapons swhill
committing or attempting to commit
a crime be regarded as attempt L
