Federal Law Regulating Sale Of firearms Would
Reduce Crime, Says N Y Police Commissioner
Confiscaticn of Pistols Is
Policy Advocated by
Enright.
By KENT WATSON,

Correspondent.
Copyright 1922. by International
News Service)
New York. June 17.--Every per-
sonally-owned firearm in the United
States should be confiscated
The sale of firearms thereafter
should be regulated by stringent
Federal law
An exorbitant tariff, designed to
prohibit the importation of firearms
should be levied by the United
States against all foreign countries.
An excessive prison sentence
from which no pardon could be
granted-should be assessed against
every individual convicted of robbery
with firearms or of illegally posses
sing CT carrying firelrm.
This is brief perspective of
views held by Commissioner Richard
E. Enright. of the New York police
force, on how crime can be quickly
and effectively reduced.
The headlines of practically all
newspapers furnish conclusive proof
that gun play crimes are at the
peak of the crime wave now ram
pant throughout America.
Highwaymen brandishing guns
have become the plague of the ma
ton. The ramifications of gunmen
obviously are beyond the scope of
police department activities. Ap-
reals of officers, ministers, bankers
and other citizens for calming
of the tidal wave of crime apparent
ly have been futile
Gang wars and robberies with fire
arms go merrily on, despite the
best efforts of organized law and
society to stop them. In all sec
tions of the country banditry pre-
walls. Hundreds of hold-ups occur
daily. Murders are common.
Commissioner Enright Talks.
Says Commissioner Enright, very
pertinently:
"The era of bl1ckjacks, dirks.
daggers and brass knuckles has
passed out. The overflow of guns
from the World war has brought on
the era of gun play crimes.
Laws cannot kill the criminal in
stinct in men. but laws can take
from the reach of the criminallyin
clined the weapons with which they
are jeopardizing the safety and
sanctity of this nation.
Our lawmakers at Washington
are indirectly responsible for the
present frequency of 'gunplay'
crimes. Our lawmakers can remedy
the situation by the passage of ade-
quate measures restricting the sale
and possession of firearms.
Every personally firearm
in the United States should be con-
fiscatcd Congress should pass
law to that effect, The sale of fire
arms thereafter should be regu-
lated b. a stringent Federal law.
by regulating the sale of fire
arms end compelling registration
Of the names of those eligible to
purchase them police departments
IN all cities would be eognizant of
who owned guns.
"A heavy tax should be assessed
against all dealers in and pur-
chasers of firearms. This would
eliminate the probability of the
criminally-inclined getting hold of
guns. Take the guns away from the

criminals and yoa'll eliminate half
of the crime in America!
Suggests Tariff On Weapons


prohibit the importation of firearms,
should be levied by the United States
against every foreign country Right
now there are being brought into
the United States from other coun-
tries a greater number of pistols
than the arms plants of this coun-
try are producing. The market is
flooded with foreign made pistols
left over from the war. They are
being sold at lower prices than
american pistols. Foreign junk-deal-
ers are sending carload lots of
weapons into this country and sell
ing them at such fabulously low
prices that every criminally inolined
man in America is enabled to pur-
chase a regular arsenal for a few
dollars.
