Letter To Editor
The Editor, Rappahannock News Washington, Va.
Dear Madam:
In a recent article on hunting in the “Rappahannock News” there was a statement - not particularly relevant to the rest of the article - regarding the proposed gun control legislation which echoed the official line of special interests: law-abiding citizens would find it impossible to buy guns and ammunition, conservation programs would be curtailed, and criminals would have no trouble at all securing weapons.
You might be interested in the following excerpt from an editorial in the “Washington Post”:
“A system of compulsory' Federal registration of all firearms would mean, as Attorney General Clark told a Senate Judiciary 1 Subcommittee not long ago, that “authorities in every part of the country would be able to trace the ownership of a registered gun ] in a matter of seconds.” Thus, it would serve as an effective means of tracing criminals who used guns for the commission of their crimes. Moreover, no one could legally purchase ammunition for a gun that was not registered. This would interfere very seriously with the use of guns for criminal purposes. But it would not interfere in any way with the use of guns for hunting or target shooting by responsible, law-abiding citizens who registered them in the same simple, straightforward way they register their automobiles or their dogs.”
Sincerely yours,
Bernard Thomas
