L ~ GUNS FEBRUARY 1962 3 Han. F. Ray Keyser, Jr. Governor of Vermont WE IN VERMONT have always been jealous of our right to bear arms. I have no reason to expect that this philosophy will be marred by legislation. Han. Terry Sanford Governor of North Carolina As one of the thirteen original colonies, North Carolina maintains the moral and legal concept that the right to keep and bear sporting arms is one of the fundamental privileges granted by our American Democracy. This privilege should be infringed upon only when deemed necessary, through the will of the people in a democratic action, to insure public safety or to prescribe the manner of taking game. We do not anticipate any legislation abrogating these premises. Han. Elmer L. Andersen Governor of Minnesota Legislation impinging on the right to bear arms has from time to time been intro­ duced in our legislature. To my knowledge these bills have met with little or no success. No legislation of this character has yet been introduced in the present session of the legislature, nor do I have any knowledge of any likelihood of this happening. In the event of the introduction of any bill of this nature, I have every confidence that the legis­ lators will recognize it if it is to be of a nuisance character, and dispose of it accordingly. I do not propose to change the traditional stand of the State of Minnesota on this Strong statement but we mean it. type of legislation.

"Know Your Lawmakers" has been a featured department in all but a few issues of GUNS since November, 1959. No department has brought us more favorable com­ ment from readers, and many Lawmakers have commented (sometimes ruefully) upon the effect these published statements have had on their mail. We have covered the field; the only Lawmakers not quoted are those who failed to answer our inquiries. Lawmakers ends with this issue. It may be brought to life again, later.
