The Prohibition of Fire Arms 
An tissue of vital interest to all sportsmen 
By HOWARD PHILLIPS 
RECENTLY an éditor of a small 
town paper said to me that he 
thought a law should be passed en- 
tirely prohibiting the sale of revolvers 
and pistols. Following this conversa- 
tion he published an editorial setting 
forth in his opinion the urgent need 
of such a law and dwelling at length 
upon the evils the country suffers from 
because of the existence of fire arms. 
Again just recently in company with 
several friends, these friends took the 
same point of view. Probably these 
friends wished to air their opinions 
because I am a dealer in fire arms and 
ammunition. 
This article is not written to defend 
my business but there is a principle 
at stake that every real sportsman be- 
lieves in and we have a right to defend 
it to the limit. 
The man who knows nothing about 
fire arms and would be afraid to go 
near one, has none of the sporting 
spirit that promotes a love for marks- 
manship and a love for the great out 
of doors, is usually the one desiring to 
regulate the fellow who is far better 
prepared to take care of himself. 
The real sportsman is always ready 
to listen to intelligent opinion, but has 
little patience with the ranting of some 
thoroughly incompetent one. 
Because there are many crooks and 
many crimes committed on defenseless 
people, is no argument for the banish- 
ment of fire arms but rather a very 
impressive reason for the need of them.

The crook is usually an _ expert 
marksman, and when he has unskilled 
defenseless victims his work is easy. 
If each community had a goodly num- 
of its best citizens trained in 
marksmanship and the expert handling 
of fire arms the crook would find the 
plying of his business very difficult. 
The writer can see no reason why 
any red blooded American citizen 
should ever be compelled to permit 
some scoundrel to rob or murder him 
or his family. Any law denying the 
right of defense is un-American. 
True, there is indiscriminate han- 
dling of fire arms and some _ people 
should never be allowed to have them. 
This will always be and if there can 
be any restriction to regulate this, all 
will favor it. 
Why not grant a license to reputable 
citizens under certain regulations, to 
carry and use fire arms? 
I am intimately acquainted with 
many men who love the manly art of

pistol, rifle or shot gun practice. No 
fault can be found with this and cer- 
tainly they are better men, for this 
brings them into intimate association 
with many others, where they learn to 
respect the other fellow and forget 
their own selfish desires. 
The training of men for future emer- 
gency is certainly of value, for the 
man who is skilled in something is a 
more useful man than he who is not. 
During the last hunting season I 
joined with other men on various hunt- 
ing trips as often as possible and with 
as many parties as possible. 
The memory of these trips is very 
pleasant, for I was greatly benefited 
physically and mentally. The fellow- 
ship in the woods with fair minded 
men. was indeed worth while. 
We were there with a common pur- 
pose and the sporting spirit was in all 
of us, for no one wanted to take ad- 
vantage of another. We had respect 
and consideration for each other and 
we hunted far through the woods in 
harmony. 
The long tramps through the 
wonderful atmosphere were indeed the 
elixir of life. How we love the great 
out of doors and how this love brings 
us nearer to the great spirit that 
dwells in the mighty forests! 
I know I shall live longer and many 
another man will live longer and be 
better fitted for the duties of life when 
we can tramp with freedom of spirit 
in God’s Great Out of Doors. 
Let us have only wise legislation 
that will promote man’s best interests. 
Never let him be hampered in the 
pursuit he justly loves for his better- 
ment and the best interests of the 
community. 
Let him enjoy and become skillful 
in the use of the most modern fire 
arms, for this makes him a more ef- 
ficient citizen, physically and mentally. 
Let him learn to defend American 
homes and to contend against the 
crooks and all manner of evil. The 
broader vision of life intimate with 
the sporting spirit is of great value. 
Never should any man submit to in- 
justice nor allow any friend to rob 
nor murder until he has fought to a 
finish. 
Instead of being the helpless victim, 
rise to the emergency with courage to 
fight with mind and skill. 
Red blooded intelligent Americans, 
imbued with the sporting spirit shall 
ever be the finest sons of America.
