Taking the min- imum figure as a basis for compuuta- tion, this gives 8,500 people slain by criminals in the last decade. The com- mittee also finds that more than 90 per tent of all homicides are commit- ted with reyolvers. It follows that re- volvers in the hinds of criminals have resulted in more than 7,600 deaths in the United States in the last ten years ~ To meet this evil, the committee recommends that the manufacture of revolvers and ammunition for them be prohibited except for the use of the government. “It may bé argued that this is a murcerous country and that If revol- evailable some other weapon will be used for the same pur. pose as that the proposed prohibition would be of no avail. The committee replies to this view by pointing out inat in Buropean countries where revolvers are not carried the incidence of sucn crimes as murder, burglary and highway ribbery ‘s low, while in the same countries larceny, forgery, extortion counterfeiting and other crimes not requiring the use of deadly weapon: are commoner than in the United States, This fact points strongly to the conclusion that the criminal whe hes no revolver contents himself with the less ‘violent forms of wrone doing. Common sense also supports the view that there would be fewer bank robberies, highway robberies and burglaries in the United States if the principal tool used in the trade were unprocurable “Just what form should be given to a law designed to meet the revo! ver eyil is still uncer discussion. There is a bill pending in congress which attempts to deal with it by ptohibiting the manufacture of fire arms smaller than the regulation army révolver, a weapon which is much too large to ve concealed in any pocket.
