Gun Regulation
Plan Up Against
Strong Opposition
WASHINGTON, —P u b 1 i c
hearings on proposed changes in
federal firearms regulations end
ed Wednesday with 30 persons
voicing strong objections to the
idea.
Three congressmen joined rep
resentatives of sporting and con
servation groups in denouncing
the rgeuiations which would re
quire permanent records to be
kept of the names of all purchas
ers of firearms and of revolver
and pistol ammunition.
Rep. Rogers (D-Tex) said the
proposals smacked of regimenta
tion. Rep. Flint (D-Ga) said they
were a threat to the constitutional
right of Americans to carry arms.
Rep. Dowdy (D-Tex) called them
an improper exercise of authority
and the regimentation of free
people.
The comparative few who spoke .
up in favor of the proposals
Wednesday stressed the impor
tance of firearms registration in
crime prevention and detection.
The proposal that all guns be
stamped with the manufacturer’s
name, a serial number and model
number also brought strong pro
tests.
Robert S. Carr, representing
gun collectors’ associations of
Ohio and Pennsylvania, said this
would bring about increased costs
to consumers. Carr said the regis
tration proposals constituted an
undue burden on dealers and
manufacturers.
The two-day hearings attracted
about 60 volunteer witnesses. The
hearings were held by officials of
the Internal Revenue Service.
They will now study the matter
further.
— It is estimated that during O.
Henry’s most productive period
(the first decade of this century)
he drank two quarts of whisky
a day.
