as of the other, so that an attempt to
suppress or prohibit by law indiscrim
inate snapping of loaded revolvers In

would be futile?.., ..Has tha public, be-j
come so hardened to the daily occur-1
rences of shooting affrays, "accidental"
killings, and deliberate murders, to
say nothing of the miscellaneous cases
of the ignorant or careless use of pis
tols, whereby life is constantly endan

even boys, to go about the treets with
loaded revolvers in their hip pockets,
