GUNS AUGUST 1960 3 Congressman Fred Schwengel Comm.: Public Works, Watershed, Floor, Roads lst (Davenport) Dist., Iowa WHEN PEOPLE ABUSE the rights given them under any section of the law, Con gress must take cognizance of it. How to deal with this problem without infringing the basic rights is sometimes difficult. Congressman Thomas G. Morris Comm.: Interior, Insular Affairs; D.C. Comm. At Large, New Mexico. Home: Box 336, Tucumcari IT IS MY CONVICTION that existing controls on firearms are highly adequate and that there should be no additional re strictions imposed upon these rights... New restrictions would not prevent criminals from acquiring and using guns in any fashion they desire. Congressman Melvin Price Committee on Armed Services Illinois THIS AMENDMENT is of very definite importance in today's world ... the militia referred to in the Constitution is today's National Guard, (thus) the right to keep and bear arms refers to the right of the National Guard to keep and bear arms and not to individual citizens. " What is set out above is, I believe, a correct interpretation of the law. It should not of course be construed as meaning that I am not heartily in favor of arms-bearing by those citizens with a legitimate purpose to so bear arms...

Box GM-'S, Congressman John Taber Committee on Appropriations 36th District, N.Y. TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, you have got to keep up to date. I do not believe that we can construe the Second Amendment to mean an unorganized group of people and give them the privilege of bearing arms under present circumstances. It should be confined to those who are properly organized as a part of what we call "militia" today. The laws of most states permit those with a license from the proper authorities to hunt with a gun or to maintain arms for their own protection.
