Repeal of Second Amendment Urged
Since Firearms Need Long Outmoded
A. ROBERT
SMITH

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
