esi «os The Nugget. May“10, 1967 TGR Hate Groups Force Gun Laws This is hunting country and there are probably few areas in the country where the right of ownership and possession and the ability to use firearms is more appreciated. The right to possess and bear arms is constitutional and despite current moves to place some needed technical restrictions onthe sale of weapons by mail order there is probably no danger of citizens losing that constitutional right except for one thing. the asinine posturing of certain militant, super-patriotic pressure groups. These groups have been relatively secret until recently and have kept their toy soldier posturing from public view. People have not been overly alarmed, but recent events may make a climate for the passage of stiffer gun laws possible, One such incident was the armed invasion of the California — legislature by some forty members of the Black Panthers, a Negro “black power" oriented organization that drills and carries loaded arms openly in public, Disclosure that state laws were inadequate todisarm the Black Panthers inside the statehouse or to even have the men unload their guns shook many complacent Californians. Equally serious threats to our historical right to possess firearms are the actions and practices of such far right groups as the Minutemen, "“birch-brained” Caucasians who see communists behind every bullseye. The picture of these two wild-eyed groups running around the countryside drilling, studying guerilla tactics and indulging in target practice is not designed to make ordinary citizens sleep well at night. They aren't practicing for a quail shoot, they‘re training to kill PEOPLE, . Now the National Rifleman, the spokesman for some 400, 000 hunters has gotten into the act by suggesting that its members form civilian posses to act in cases of urban rioting. The idea of vigilantes ursurping the duties of local police agencies and the National Guard is another move not suited to soothing the fears of a nation that has not yet recovered from the assassination of a beloved president by a young man that was pure material for such vigilante causes. The editor of the National Rifleman should stop and recall the article he wrote for the Saturday Evening Post in -1958 in which he described purchasing a submachinegun in the name of his two year old daughter. The article was critical of the laxity of gun control laws, We're beginning to think he was right the first time around.
