"What's Wrong With Gun Laws?"



The August 1955 issue of GUNS Magazine is now online. A Chicago cop, of all people, makes a statement against gun control--and you'll recognize many of the same arguments used today. The photos of New York and Chicago cops dumping confiscated firearms into the water should interest gun control historians.

Also in this issue:
"Why Cops Get Killed"
"How Dick Tracy Gets His Man"
"The 20,000 Guns of Jesse James"
and more.

The ad on page 51 is enough to make you weep.

Oh, I know--ain't it the truth. I love going through the old ads, but you hit on THE one that really illustrates how much we have lost in my lifetime.
