I Repeal of Second Amendment Urged Since Firearms Need Long Outmoded A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON - Is it time to change the bill of rights by repealing the historic "right to bear arms" provision of the U. S. Constitution? Many members of Congress, editorial writers and private citizens are clamoring for a crackdown on unregulated sale of guns, especially via the mail order catalogue, the convenient method which served Lee Har vcry Oswald. Most of them give a passing salute to the Second Amendment. "Any legislation, state or fed eral, must consider the consti tutional right of our citizens to and revolvers in any American town would be a prickly nuis ance to an invading armada, moving in to take control, but they would keep freedom alive about as long as the rebellious Hungarians were able to last against the Soviet tanks which rolled into position to crush the ! unrisinri a few vears affo.

Instead, they are handed weapons that were in conceivable in 1787 (or even 1937), weapons provided by the state because they are so costly and complex no militiaman can supply his own as in colonial times.

A pistol in the bureau drawer is usually a greater threat to those inside the house than those sup posedly threatening their sec curity from without. It will take time to repeal the Second Amendment.
