Let Government Tax Revolvers.
From the Washington Times.

IOIIl ltlV w wa AAAaSS
New York passed a law which has wade
1t well-nigh impossible to buy and sport
a revolver or pistol. But it is Of little
practical effect because the bad man with
trouble In his system has but a run over
into New Jersey or into Connecticut to
get an arsenal suited to his purpose. Chief
CITY Magistrate McAdoo, of New York,
who knows how general the toting habit
is and now much crime 1t induces. has
taken up the effort to create sentiment in
favor of a national law against carrying
concealed weapons.
The modern, automatic magazine re-
volyer with a silencer attached is about
the most wicked instrument that coward
ice. malice, and c-ussedness could posi-
bly, wish. 1t is so dangerous to the de-
cent community. so well 2dapted to con-
ceal and protect the cri; { nal, that there
seems little chance of suppressing it's evil
work, short of ~forbidding its manufacture.
Why not? The internal revenue tax on
alcoholic liquors is pretty effectively en-
forced: 1t would be no harder to enforce
restrictions on the making and sale of
dangerous weapons. Prohibition might
even be made to prohibit, in this case.
There are doubtless some few proper uses
to which a revolver may be put: but they
are not many. The average gun kept in a
home or office as a means of defense is
not needed, and it is a good deal more a
danger than a protection to its owner. A
n1an has about 100 times as much chance
to lose his life by accident as he has TO
saw it by reason of keeping a weapon at
hand.
