PROPOSED LAW WILL REGULATE USE OF PISTOLS Shields Measure, Ii Passed, Will Operate on Plan of Prohibition WASHINGTON, D. C.—A measure which would make it difficult for any citizen of the United States to obtain a revolver or pistol without breaking the law. is now proposed by Senator Shields of Tennessee as a remedy for the crime wave. It is agreed by all that something must be done. The country is overrun by armed thugs, who shoot down a few hundred citizens every day, take their cash and jewelry and escape in $4,000 cars which they have stolen from other citizens without much trouble. Senator Shields believes the way to remedy this situation is to make it as difficult as possible for any one to obtain a revolver, pistol or other firearm small enough to be concealed about the person, and he has introduced a bill which is to accomplish this by barring such arms from interstate commerce. The stated purpose of the bill is to "suppress the sale of pistols, revolvers, et cetera—that is. to make it as difficult as possible for any one. criminal or otherwjse_to obtain such a firearm. This bill lias provoked sharp discussion. Many legislators favor it. On the other hand students of the crime problem say that it will be wholly ineffective. Some critics of the measure say that it is typical of a whole school of legislation in this country, designed to suppress vice and' crime, and which has the opposite effect. Senator Shields says that his measure is modeled after the prohibition law. Prohibition, he says, was ineffective as a State or local measure as long as liquor could be manufactured in neighboring States and shipped into dry territory. In like manner, he says, the efforts of police to control the sale of firearms in a given city are futile as long as any criminal can send away and get a revolver by mail >r express. His opponents say that his whole theory is unsound. They agree with him that his law is of exactly the same type as the prohibition law, and they assert that, while prohibition has reduced the consumption of alcohol, which may be a good thing, it has not prevented any man who really wants alcohol from getting it. He can get it from bootleggers. Furthermore, here in Washington, one of the most orderly of cities, he can buy a slightly medicated port wine containing 18 per cent of alcohol at many small stores, and he can buy all the materials for making home brew at several places, together with all directions for the making. The effect of this law, they contend, has been to restrict the consumption by making it inconvenient to obtain alcoholic beverages, but it bas not made it impossible for the man with an abnormal alcoholic thirst to satisfy it. tv 11,1. NOT AFFECT CRIMINALS. In like manner, they say. the gun-pro-hibition law will greatly reduce the numier of persons owning weapons by makig it difficult to obtain them, but it i 1 never prevent the man who really ->eds one from getting it. There will •evitably ho bootlegging in guns, just < there is now bootlegging in whisky, i whole new class of criminals who en age in this traffic will be created, just i liquor prohibition has created a class f criminals. And the tax payer will be addled with another burden of expense n the effort to enforce this law. It will disarm the peaceable citizen, bnt it will 'over prevt nt the criminal, who needs ae iruu in bis business, from getting one. lie is us and to getting things by theft and raft. He is well acquainted in the •mh rworid. He will get a gun under tin prohibition just as easily as he gets qn,r under liquor prohibition. The -abiding eitizon will be disarmed by •h leg's ation. but not the professional nmati. Take, for example, they say. a group of ' citizens. Perhaps fifty or more of ies? never thought of owning a gun. ‘erhaps about thirty of them have purbased guns which they keep in bureau •irawners for personal protection. Many a burglar and highwayman has been foiled by an armed citizen. The keeping of arms in the house for self protection is a recognized and valuable aid in the suppression of crime. If there were a loaded revolver in every bedroom in the ountry, with a person who had been roperl.v trained in the use of it. bur >ary would b ‘ greatly discouraged. In this 100 men there are perhaps 10 •ho own revolvers as means of recreation. They are members of target-shoot-ing clubs which encourage civilian practice with small arms, or they are men who make camping trips in wild country and carry side srins with them. HOW WOULD WORK. Not more than 3 probably, of this 100 men are criminals. Now the effect of a law like the Shields bill, say Its opponents, is to disarm this entire 100 men in the hope of disarming the 3 criminal members. The 30 who would otherwise buy revolvers for self-defense will be discouraged from doing so by the expense and risk of prosecution. Then men who use their weapons'as means of recreation, and who are valuable for their skill in ase of war, will be more reluctant to give ip. but they, too, are law-abiding men nd do not like to follow a hobby which nvolves contempt of law. The only men of rhe hundred who will impletely and gladly disregard the law re the three criminals. They habitually •isregard law anyway. They are experts ■i breaking it. Their lives depend upon he ownership of guns. It is almost cerain that they will succeed in obtaining hem. And they will be the bolder In the *e of them by reason of knowing that heir Intended victims have been disrmed. These men argue that the way to preent the abuse of an.v privilege or right s not to take ia away from everybody, 'nt to take It away from the man who buses it—not to deprive the ninety*even law-abiding citizens of their igbts. but to make it hot for the three rooks. This is not being done, they say. Our io!ice systems have come in for so much ritlcism lately that it is hardly necesary to repeat any of it. Unsolved murler and theft mysteries are the order of the day. Our criminal law is a notorons farce. The statement is made by ligh authorities that a man Is seldom onvlcted of murder in this country if e has plenty of money or a political .nil. The way to stop murder is to atch and punish the murderers, and the vay to disarm criminals is to catch hem and take their arms away from hem, argue these opponents of the proibitory principle. If there Is to be any Federal legislaion bearing on the crime wave, these ien say. it should have for its purpose he creation of a Federal police bureau, 'bis is badly needed to act as a elearng house for Information about crimilals. to raise the standards of police work in America and to study European oollce methods with a view to introducing them in this country.
