It's ridiculous, and it's got to change. control proposal I support would concentrate not so much on the shotguns and rifles of our societys sportsmen, but rather on the cheap Saturday Night Spe- cials and other handguns with which the vast majority of our nations violent crimes are being committed. It would be absurdly naive to suggest that a gun control law would eliminate all the crimes that are a plague to our country.

But what about all those domestic quarrels in which one family member, in a moment of uncontrolled rage, reaches for a loaded pistol instead of taking some other action with far less lethal consequences?

But thats not enough. Federal gun control legislation would advance the realization of a saner and safer society even further. We might not be able to recognize the benefits of gun control right away; in fact, the positive results might not become really visible for decades. But realize them we will, provided that we act. And the sooner the better. What it all boils down to is how badly we abhor violence and how seriously were committed to restoring a measure of sanity and conscience to our land. gun-wieldi- after-the-fa- much-neede- d ing to relax and enjoy life one day at a time, depending on the mood 1965-6- the eve of his retirement, he nounced, Im just go Im MmH Mi in.

And as far as this issue is concerned, our legislators are considerably lacking in guts until gun control becomes a reality in our country. Unfortunately for the U.S., our most destructive and poisonous lobby - the National Rifle Assn. effectively fostered a wave of paranoia and hysteria among its members and other Americans, whove been persuaded to fear the eventual and total loss of their freedom if gun control becomes a reality. What a remarkably blatant distortion of the situation. The constitutional argument against gun control is also as hollow as an empty barrel. When our founding fathers set forth the Bill of Rights, giving Americans the liberty to bear arms, we were winning our independence some 200 years ago our streets werent the jungles that they are today. Besides, weve amended the original constitution many times since its passage; we can and should do so again to bring about this needed change.
