Problems of the Submachine Gun in Post-War Crime

Abstract

(In the following article, Mr. Howe, Civilian Firearms Technician for the United States Ordnance Department, Fort Dix, New Jersey, warns of the possible danger which may ensue after the war if submachine guns should fall into the hands of criminals. The utility of the weapon for lawless enterprise, the war training in its use received by countless thousands, its possible availability in numbers unheard of heretofore, lend weight to the fear that trouble lies ahead unless we exert our utmost vigilance in controlling its unlawful use.-Editor.)
