A MODEL BILL TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF AUTOMATIC AND REPEATING SHOT GUNS IN
HUNTING
Section 1. It shall be unlawful to use in hunting or shooting birds
or animals of any kind, any automatic or repeating shot gun or pump
gun, or any shot-gun holding more than two cartridges at one time,
or that may be fired more than twice without removal from the
shoulder for reloading.
Section 2. Violation of any provision of this act shall be punished
by a fine of not less than twenty-five nor more than one hundred
dollars for each offence; and the carrying, or possession in the
woods, or in any field, or upon any water of any gun or other weapon
the use of which is prohibited, as aforesaid, shall be prima facie
evidence of the violation of this act.
_The English 3-barrel "Scatter Rifle," for Ducks_.--All gunners who find
machine guns good enough for them will be delighted by the news that an
Englishman whose identity is concealed under the initials "F.M.M." has
invented and manufactured a 3-barreled rifle specially intended to kill
ducks that are beyond the reach of a choke-bore shotgun. The weapon
discharges all three barrels simultaneously. In the _London Field_, of
Dec. 9, 1911, it is described by a writer who also thoughtfully conceals
his identity under a nom-de-plume. After a trial of 48 shots, the writer
declares that "the 3-barreled is a really practicable weapon," and that
with it one could bag wild-fowl that were quite out of reach of any
shot-gun. Just why a Gatling gun or a Maxim should not be employed for
the same purpose, the writer fails to state. The use of either would be
quite as sportsmanlike, and as fair to the game. There are great
possibilities in ducking mortars, also.
