In. IMMEDIATE ACTION ALL GUNS READERS: A bill, HR 613, introduced by Congressman Anfuso, New York, in the Congress, would require everyone who owns a pistol to register it with the Director of the F.B.I. Every pistol would be registered separately, as to caliber, maker, serial number, number of cartridges held, and from whom the gun was obtained, plus "Such other information as the director may by regulation prescribe." A purpose of the bill (Sec. 2, ff2) is "In the event of a future war involving the United States, information as to the number, location, and types of pistols in the U.S. would be indispensable to the prosecution of such a war." Yes, indeed; but to whom?-Editors. Han. William F. Quinn Governor of Hawaii HAWAIl INCLUDES in its constitution (Sec. 15, Art. 1) the words "A well regu­ lated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Chapter 157, Revised Laws of Hawaii as amended ... require that a person must acquire a permit to purchase firearms, other than a rifle or a shotgun, and that he must register such firearms with the police department. One may keep firearms and ammunition at his place of business or residence but he may not carry firearms except from the place of purchase to his business or residence, or between these places and a place of repair or a target range. A person 20 years or older who can show good reason to fear injury to his person or property may obtain a permit from his local police chief to carry a con­ cealed weapon. Law enforcement officers are excepted from the law. Unlawfully failing to register firearms, or unlawfully carrying them can bring fine or imprison­ ment. I should also like to commend Guns Magazine for your interest in the firearms UNNECKED CASE laws of the nation.

In addition, it is perfectly apparent that.registration of firearms is of no particular benefit in controlling crime_ I would prefer not to try and give examples of what would constitute an infringe­ ment of the 2nd Amendment as these problems more properly come in court cases where the Judiciary decides the situation on the specific facts before them. I can, however, say that the disarming of mobs protesting against legislation or court decisions is certainly not an infringement of the 2nd Amendment. I would say that the same situation would be true in the case of impounding of hunting weapons where the owner has violated the game laws.

  • Bob Was a Shoo-Shoo
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Bob Was a Shoo-Shoo Every boy that grew up in New Orleans (at least in my age group) that managed to get himself into the least bit of mischief knows that the local expression for a firecracker that doesn’t go off is a “shoo-shoo”. It means a dud, something that may have started off hot, but ended in a fizzle. It just didn’t live up to its expectations. It could also be used to describe other things that didn’t deliver the desired wallop, such as an over-promoted “hot date” or even a tropical storm that (fortunately) wasn’t as damaging as its forecast. Back in 1968, I thought for a moment that I was that “dud” date, but was informed by the young lady I was escorting that she had called me something entirely different. “Chou chou” (pronounced exactly like shoo-shoo) was a reduplicative French term of endearment, meaning “my little cabbage”. Being a “petite” healthy leafy vegetable was somehow a lot better than being a non-performing firecracker. At least I wasn’t the only one. In 2009 the Daily Mail reported on a “hugely embarrassing video” in which Carla Bruni called Nicolas Sarkozy my ‘chou chou’ and “caused a sensation across France”. Bruni and Sarkozy: no “shoo-shoo” here The glamourous former model turned pop singer planted a passionate kiss on the French President and then whispered “‘Bon courage, chou chou’, which means ‘Be brave, my little darling’.” The paper explained, “A ‘chou’ is a cabbage in French, though when used twice in a row becomes a term of affection between young lovers meaning ‘little darling’.” I even noticed in the recent French movie “Populaire” that the male lead called his rapid-typing secretary and love interest “chou”, which somehow became “pumpkin” in the subtitles.
