Interesting article - as was the previous one you posted above - from 1955. The advertisements appearing in the mags were also particularly interesting.
Seems in some respects, the more things change the more they remain the same - wish the same could be said of prices.
Thanks for posting these old articles.
From the subject 1957 article:
"Recently proposed Treasury regulations came close to this ideal; they could have destroyed the firearms industry and the shooting sport. Under the guise of protecting the people, these makers of rules who push anti-gun bills such all these are forging weapons, not into plough shares, but into an iron collar of restraint, worthy of a fascist state.
Year by year more anti-gun laws are proposed. Meanwhile, pro-gun collectors and shooters are mollified by the excuse "these laws are thought up by well meaning, innocent do gooders."
