Out viclim, on g hand, will be fits! line of defense uguii'.sl dime is our local police, just as our first line of defense against enemy attack are our national armed forces. But first lines who might seek to deprive us of our liberties by force. The ability of the Swiss people to defend themselves, with one or more fiiearms in almost every home, helped keep Switzerland free during World War II when it was entirely surrounded by Nazi Germany and its allies. When Hitler seemed ready to invade England in 1940, it was discovered that because of the tight English gun control laws, the people had almost- - no ability to resist on their1 own should the invasion come, for lack of- suitable weapons. Enemy airmen parachuting down in some cases had to be captured with nothing better than pitchforks. In that moment of crisis, it was too late to do anything to remedy this lack. Yet the agitation for the of defense become much stronger and tnoie effective, when backed up by adequate reserves. Citizens capable of and willing to defend themselves are the reserves in the fight against crime. They make the task of the police easier and that of the criminal harder. Such citizens also give pause to aggressors or foreign would-b- e hoine-grow- n tyrants HOLLADAYS ELECTRIC MOTOR 3231 South - State 5t.

(Much is made of the fact that this provision of the Bill of Rights is introduced by a clause referring to militia. We are told that because wc have no organized body today called a militia, this guarantee of our explicit rights no longer applied. But a militia in essence simply consisls of citizens, still living at home, who are prepared to defend their country when necessary by force of arms. It docs not always have to be established in organized units, but may remain a potential reserve available in time of crisis if the right to keep and bear arms has been preserved.) The lal cst step in the law-abidi- ng - apparently never-endin- g campaign against guns in the hands of citizens is 11.

As the California Rifle and Pistol Association well said in its July newsletter, this bill, if 'enacted into law, would accomplish about all that the gun abolitionists have hoped for except the outlawing of rifles and shotguns which will come later. H.R. 8828 or any similar bill must be unwaveringly resisted. The very last thing we need, in a country so deeply threatened from both within and without as the United States is today, is to disarm its citizens, leaving them helpless before any degenerate or destroyer who can get past our first lines of 466-98- 11 Salt Lake City, Utah 84115 A A AAA AAA AAA A AAA A AAA would individuals, law-abidi- 50 West 2225 South 8 8 2 8 handguns withby private a few PLASTIC CUPS FOR FREEZING "X Judiciary (1) require the registration of all firearms; (2) require the purchasers of firearhis and ammunition to be licensed; (3) outlaw the possession of CAN & PAN SEALERS ' House Committee which will hear and decide upon the bill. t i Salt Lake City, Utah ri never -- South As well as our regular stock we now have available Metaphysical, Religious, and British-- ! srael literature. law-abidi- ng disarming of of the ng defense.
