For many years the Armalite Division of Fairchild Engine and
Airplane Corporation has been designing and producing advanced
military firearms for governments throughout the world. All
Armalite production is keyed to the rigid specifications demanded
in modern military weapons. The following are two of the models
which demonstrate the latest advances in small arms logistics.
Both are .308 NATO caliber with major parts completely inter-
changeable not only from rifle to rifle but between rifle and
machine gun. These weapons are at present available only to
friendly foreign powers.
AR-10 LIGHT MACHINE GUN
A one-man load allowing belt
fed machine gun firepower at less
than the weight of automatic rifles
previous conflicts. In mobile
situations it feeds from a back pack, allowing a single man to
operate.
in
AR-10 ASSAULT RIFLE
A 20 cartridge capacity semi- and full-automatic assault rifle
weighing less than eight pounds with advanced balance and recoil
characteristics which allow it to be fired with one hand. Click
adjustable sight is protected and built into carrying handle. The
gas operated AR-10 embodies modern light alloys and fiberglass
except in the actual firing mechanisms to achieve its unprece-
dented low weight.

THE SECOND AMENDMENT to the United States Constitution as-
sures the American people the inalienable right to keep and bear
arms for their security and this right cannot be infringed with-
out negating the purposes and principles of our free society.
ConCJressman Byron L. Johnson
Committee on BankinCJ & Currency
2d Dist.. Colorado
ALTHOUGH THE SECOND AMENDMENT has never been repealed, its original purpose
of a civil militia, and assurance of the right of popular revolution, no longer holds
today. Certainly, the legitimate use of guns is widely accepted. The abuses-both
deliberate and accidental-should lead thoughtful citizens to a growing concern for
safety and the protection of human life and property.
In protecting the constitutional right to possess and carry arms, we must not over-
look the need for a broader program of safety education in the handling of fire-
arms to help reduce the tragic loss of life and great number of injuries.
'I:he constitution was also intended to insure domestic tranquility; and the public
has a right to reasonable protection against felonious use of firearms.

THERE WERE TEN basic rights which, we are told, the founding fathers agreed to
attach as amendments to the Constitution of their authorship so that it would be
ratified and accepted as the law of the land.
It
is significant that the second of these
amendments, known collectively as the "Bill of Rights," cites the "right of the people
to keep and bear arms."
Considering the circumstances of that historical period, it is easily understandable
that the need of a "well·regulated militia" should be mentioned in connection with
that right. It is interesting, however, that there is no stipulation that those who
"keep" arms
must use them only for purposes of the' militia.
(Emphasis supplied.)
In my opinion, that right is just as important to us today, as individuals and as
a democratic society, as it was to our forefathers. We have, of course, a permanent
military force that stands ready to defend our boundaries against foreign attack and,
in most communities, a trained police force obviates the necessity that each family be
ready to defend itself by use of arms. Nevertheless, there are still occasions and
areas (and unfortunately not just in isolated, non-populated places) where one might
have to serve as his own "militia" in numerous emergency-type situations.
Further, personal ownership and knowledge of guns have made thousands of citizens
valuable members of the National Guard, military reserve units, and Civilian Defense
Corps groups. These organizations have, of course, been declared by law to be vital
to the strength, safety, and general welfare of our nation.
Certainly, then, in my mind, there is no doubt as to the importance of the second
amendment to the Constitution as it affects us in the present-day situation,
nor~
any
doubt that it must be actively retained as a major right of our people.

I BELIEVE THE Constitutional right of the people "to keep and bear arms
IS
still
significant in today's world of atomic bombs and guided missiles. In a limited atomic
war, the possession of small arms would enable our citizens to resist invading troops
more effectively.
World War II dramatized the importance of the citizen's right to keep and bear
anus. The list of licensed gun-owners in the town halls of conquered Western Europe
enabled the Nazis to more easily combat the underground. And one of Churchill's most
urgent requests of the United States was for the shipment of a half-million .30 rifles
for the Home Guard.
But a somber responsibility goes with our Constitutional right to keep and bear
arms~the
responsibility for stringent safety measures and proper instruction in
their use.
