I said exactly that when I received z Ithe invitation to be the only magazine editor to share the discussions in Washington, D. c., of "A Bill To Amend The III Federal Firearms Act." But having just returned from the sec­ ond of those discussions, I have nothing .but praise for the methods by which, this time, this action is being taken. :a Like most things in Washington, this is complicated. The Senate Judiciary Committee (Senator James O. Eastland, Mississippi, Chairman) has a Subcommittee to Investigate SENATOR DODD Juvenile Delinquincy (Senator Thomas J. Dodd, Connecticut, Connecticut Chairman). One of the staff investigations of that Subcom­ mittee is to weigh the importance of firearms in the problem of juvenile delinquency. Carl L.

  • Utah History Encyclopedia
    BROWNING ARMS COMPANY John Browning with a Browning automatic rifle The business known as the Browning Arms Company was officially organized in Ogden, Utah, under that name in 1927, a year after its most famous namesake, John Moses Browning, died. In actuality, the Browning organization had been around as early as Jonathan Browning′ s arrival in Utah and the establishment of his gun shop in Ogden in 1852. With the death of Jonathan, his son John Moses Browning became the head of the family′s gunsmithing business, and with his brothers - Matthew, Jonathan Edmund, Thomas Samuel, William, and George - established in 1872 the Browning Brothers Company with its shop and retail store in Ogden. John Moses Browning has been called "the greatest firearms inventor the world has ever known." His first patent was granted on 7 October 1879. He is credited with 128 gun patents, and some fifty million sports and military weapons were manufactured from those patents during the forty-seven years he was an active inventor. Among his most famous guns produced were the 45-caliber pistol; the 1895 Colt Peacemaker machine gun; the Browning automatic rifle; a variety of 30- and 50­ caliber machine guns used in World War II; and the Browning Automatic-5 shotgun first made in 1902 and still produced today. Browning Brothers manufactured guns in Ogden and produced 600 Browning single-shot rifles before the company turned over the patent to the Winchester Arms Company. From that time on, the company contracted with other arms manufacturing companies to produce its weapons. These companies included, in addition to Winchester Arms, the Colt Arms Manufacturing Company, the Fabrique Nationale of 1 of 3 Belgium, the Remington Arms Company, and Savage Arms Company.
