GUNS Magazine September 1960 SEPTEMBER 1960 SOc SHOOTING • ADVENTURE What BROWNING Quality means to you The word "quality" is meaningful only when explicitly defined. We speak of quality not as a vague generality but as a blend ofvery specific characteristics. It means functional design to give the most efficient and Available in effective performance and, among many things, involves the 12 gauge studied consideration of weight, balance, recoil, loading, trigger 16 gauge pull and safety features. 20 gauge It means sound engineering, the careful selection of the and finest materials and the vigilant supervision of their processing 12 gauge through machining, heat treatment, precise hand fitting and 3" magnum finishing. It means accomplished workmen, highly skilled in their respective crafts and understandably proud of the matchless results of their efforts. .. It means economy to you, for only well made things are inexpensive to own, and only things made well are really valued possessions. You'll find this quality in the Browning Auto­ matic-5 ... smooth, positive function each time from$129 75 you squeeze the trigger ... a gun that will serve U.

King Comm.: Science & Astronautics SIERRA 130 gr. Spitzer boat 2nd (Salt Lake City) Dist., Utah tail .277 in front of 57.1 gr. BEING A NEW Congressman, I have not as yet had any opportunity to learn enough of #4350 never fails the target. about the. issues involved with the Second Amendment to speak with any conviction on the matter one way or the other. I have killed more than 30 chamois with this bullet and Congressman William H. Meyer always with one shot." Comm.: Foreign Affairs At Large, Vermont THE MAJOR restrictions on the ownership of guns in a state like Vermont should be in determining that the individual concerned can use one safely and responsibly and that the gun and bullets fired from it can be traced to the purchaser. From close association with the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, I know that they are concerned with "gun safety." Congressman Cecil R. King Comm.: Ways & Means; Internal Revenue Taxation; Foreign Trade Policy 17th Dist., California THE POSSESSION and use of firearms for legitimate pur­ poses has as great a significance today as it had at the time of affirmation of this right in our Constitution. Time does not detract from the essence of this fundamental concept. .. Efforts to restrict severely law-abiding citizens' rights to possess and enjoy firearms for recreation and defense ... have ranged ·from the hopelessly naive to the ridiculously complex. I do not intend to say that all firearms regulation is wrong or unjusti­ fied. What I do say is that such regulation be sound and reason­ able so that a balance can be struck between the liberty of the individual, on the one hand, and the necessary exercise of authority by government, on the other. The adoption of controls which would affect only those who wouI'd obey does not conform to this balance. Congressman Richard E. Lankford Comm.: Armed Services 5th Dist., Maryland THE REASONS behind the Second Amendment are as valid today as they were when the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution. It is part of our tradition to keep as few professional soldiers on active duty as is considered side and to depend on trained volunteers to fill out the ranks in the event of an emergency. These "minute­ men" must be capable of handling firearms if they are to be effective. For this and other reasons, we should take no steps which would infringe the right to keep and bear small arms. Congressman Fred Marshall Comm.: Appropriations Sixth Dist., Minnesota THE RIGHT to private ownership of firearms is a pilrt of our history and tradition. While changing conditions have made reasonable safety measures necessary in the public interest, the right to use should be protected as one of the essentials of free­ dom. The very right to ownership includes the corresponding right to proper use. Mr. Gonzatti with a fine bu~k chamois, Range: 250 meters. (275 yds. approx.) Congressman James G: O'Hara Sierra one-shot kill from a high angle of at least 50° 7th (Port Huron) Dist., Michigan HISTORY HAS largely eroded away the purpose of the Second Amendment and its significance. In yesterday's world a free people had to keep and bear arms to protect ~SIERRA themselves from the Indians and to avoid the need for the existence of a large stand­ ing army. Like the Third Amendment forbidding the quartering of soldiers "in any ~BVLLErS house," the Second Amendment reflects the peculiar needs of the American people in a particular perjod of our history. 600 West Whittier Blvd., Whittier, Calif. • Read "The 30-06 in AFRICA."

The speed at which this programme is being carried out, which determines the rate of expenditure and therefore the annual budgets, was first estimated in 1959. At this time the annual contribution ceiling was fixed by the CERN Council at 65 million Swiss francs for the years 1960, 1961 and 1962. It is worth recalling that is was towards the end of November 1959, just before the meeting of the CERN Council, that the CERN Proton Synchrotron accelerated protons to full energy and it has only been during the course of 1960 that the full financial implications of the experimental programme of this machine have become apparent. In making the predictions in 1959 for the rate of expenditure of the laboratory assumptions were made of the rate at which the CPS would be brought into service as a nuclear physics tool. Certain reserves were prudently put in the budget to cover the case that the experimental programme of the CPS would be in advance of the estimated programme. Part of this reserve was removed in fixing the ceiling of the three year period, part was eaten up by the steadily rising prices, and only by strict internal economies were some items, unfore• seen at the time of making the 1960 Budget, covered in the course of this year.

  • How the Gun Lobby Recruits Young Blood
    Gunning for Children: How the gun lobby recruits young blood Campaign objectives: Magazines that encourage the killing of animals for ‘sport’ to be consigned to ‘top shelf’ positions in newsagents, out of sight and reach of young people, on whom the pro-violence content could have a corrosive, long-lasting effect A restriction on the sale of these publications to persons under the age of 18, thereby bringing them in line with tobacco products and magazines with an explicit sexual content The Secretary of State for Education to ensure that the promotion of gun use is prohibited on all school premises Y M A L A / P A L www.animalaid.org.uk R A F © It seems imperative that shooting magazines celebrating the… 'casual cruelty' of shooting wild animals –a kind of 'shooting porn' – should not be on sale to children and young people (u-18) and that shops and retail outlets selling such magazines should position them both out of reach and sight of children and young people. ...it also strikes me as appropriate that organisations committed to the shooting of live animals for 'sport' and 'fun' should not be offered opportunities to promote their activities in schools or (more generally) with youth organisations. Above all, “fostering healthy and environmentally-conscious attitudes to nature and wildlife conservation is fundamentally inconsistent with deriving pleasure and enjoyment from shooting animals for fun.

  • Provided Below Is Information for the Transportation of Firearms and Ammunition for Airline Travel
    Provided below is information for the transportation of firearms and ammunition for airline travel. AS STATED IN JULY 2008 Most airlines have provided a link to the specific web pages for Baggage Allowances, Carry-on Baggage information, Firearms and Ammunition, Restricted Articles and Specialty Items of which can include but is not limited to antlers, game meats and fishing equipment. The TSA website is truly the end all be all for airline travel regulations. Canadian and European transportation agencies have essentially the same regulations and generally defer some of their information to the TSA. Before starting any research for your flight it is imperative that you thoroughly look at the TSA website because they have the broadest amount of information and they are the supreme authority. When traveling internationally, here are three issues by most if not all of the airline carriers: 1) The airlines have stated that their policy for transporting firearms is the same for both domestic and international flights. 2) They advise that you call the airline desk at your departure airport to inform them that you are flying with a firearm and to get the most up-to-date information on procedures at that airport. 3) If you are transferring from one airline to another, it is imperative for you to call the second airline to check if they have any additional regulations, especially if your transfer is in an international airport. There may be additional permits or procedures to be processed prior to your arrival. 4) Certain temporary visitor permits are required if you are planning on staying overnight in an international location that is not your final destination.
