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.
