Show Vnivi-o- l 1 '1 Pierpont Ave VlK'i-nnimi- Co. nf P-l- EDITORIALS j j g FlIJMORE j Our Town Last jcar the .iuniium Rijlcnum published "Armed Citien" columns 112 actual in in- stances in which the mere presence of a firearm in the hands of a resolute citien prevented crime without bloodshed. Every case came from news reports confirmed by police records in 97 communities across the land. Among these were Seattle, Kansas City, San Jose, Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas, Detroit, El Paso and 89 others. Every one chronicled a triumph of a American with the "cool," to use the curren ' r.g, to stop a crime without shooting anyone. Iney prevented robberies and quite possibly rapes and murders. They were able to do so because they were armed with guns. Now on the KKHh anniversary of the National Rifle Association of America, we would like to ask a simple question: Can anyone show us where 112 crimes have been averted by the federal Gun Control Act of 1968? Those who uphold this act and would further American citizens owe it to disarm the American public to explain themselves. Can they say why it is that crime continues to rise under the 1908 act instead of decreasing? Without putting woids into overwoikcd mouths, we can surnu-- e that they will say the answer is a need tor even stricter gun laws. In all honesty, wc must disagree. The tnwer is a need for manv things, but laws that deprive are not among decent persons of them. The answer may be a need for more uniformed big cities. pobcemen patrolling our erime-infeste- d Philadc.phia in chopping down its crime rate provided prinu facie evidence of this. The Washington. DC., police department, recruited to full strength for the first time in many years, also brought about a do tinct reduction in crime by patrolmen on the putting more properly-traine- d streets. Some other communities have succeeded, likewise. The answer ir.av be a need for longer sentences that keep habitual criminals in jail instead of allowing them to whiz through courtrooms with a speed that makes justice somewhat like a revolving door. The answer may he the need for broad rehabilitation programs that reorient all but the most hopeless hardened criminals (if there arc such), and end the cycle under which many criminals find themselves compelled to return to crime for lack of anything Knur. The answci may K an end to flabby permissiveness and a "lie down and quit" attitude on the part of some hxr.il courts and authorities whenever unruly, lawless dements make a fist" at them. The answer may be a return to a traditional American creed recognized and practiced by every good NRA Member, of rc pcctmg the rights and way of life of all respectable fellow Americans. It is projvr to discuss all this on the 100th anniversary of The National Rifle Association of America, an organization founded to promote marksmanship and broadened to support conservation and national improvement, because the legitimate ownership of fircatms is an integral part of our Nation. Hus the NRA recognizes and champions. As shown in this magazine and elsewhere, the mere presence of firearms in the hands of responsible zXmericans can serve to curb violence. The Federal Gun Control Act of 1968 apparently self-re'ia- nt law-abidi- can't. There is reason to believe and hope that the next Congress will rccogmc this fact and repeal the 1968 Ad, at least insofar as it places burdens and restrictions on individual gun owners. That, coupled with the mandatory penalty la vs that the NRA has long aduxMtcd for criminal misuse of guns, will do more to curb crime than the senseless provisions of the 19GX ad which tend to stamp out legitimate gun owner. Np while criminals run not and thumb their noses at all laws. B g Short anu Swrrt . . . As I make the weekly trips to Delta. Jt seems that Frankly Speaking gets n little more "weakly," too.
