PROHIBITING PISTOLS

A man walked into the Office
of the editor of THE Post the
other day and presented pistol
at the editors head" says an
editorial in the Bridgeport, Con
necticut, Post, of May 16, 1890.
"Fortunately for the editor the
pistol wasn't loaded and the per.
son behind it was neither a hold.
up man nor an indignant sub.
scriber. He was Earl Naramore,
Bridgeport manufacturer and
small arms expert.
The pistol which Mr.. Nara
more carried was peculiar look
ing affair but examination of it
showed that it was perfectly
capable of firing bullet with
destructive effect. It was a
home brewed' pistol which Mr..
Naramore had constructed in the
cellar of his home with materials
available in the rubbish pile or
work bench of the average home
He made it with the expenditure
of not more than a few hours
time and demonstrated to the
editors satisfaction that what be
had done, others could do.
The editor in an unguarded
moment had written that prohi.
bitive laws governing pistols
could be more readily enforced
than other prohibitive laws be
cause the manufacture of pistols
was an elaborate process which
could not be duplicated in every.
body's cellar. Mr.. Naramore
disproved this statement and the
editor hereby retracts it. Pts.
tolls can be made at home.
The incident taught the edi
tor at lesson: that a man is on
the safest ground when be is
sticking s to his principles. The
Post editor has generally main.
tained the principle that in seek
ing to remedy an abuse, the law
should conine itself to that
abuse and not, by the issuance
of general prohibition, forbid
the exercise of rights and privi
leges which could not be con
strued as constituting an abuse.
Mr.. Naramore demonstrated
that pistol prohibition would
only disarm the honest citizens
while leaving the crooks free
either TO obtain pistols by sur
reptitious methods or by manu-
featuring them in their own eel
lars. Like other prohibitions,
this own would defeat its own
purpose.
