Book Description
Excerpt from Automatic Shotgun In offering a buffalo herd to the National Government as a gift the zoological society seeks to demonstrate the interest of private individuals in the fate of our most conspicuous American quadruped. We feel that it is the duty of individuals to do something toward the establishment of the series of buffalo herds that should be established very soon. It is very gratifying to know that the game-refuge bill is in a fair way to become a law. We earnestly hope that the Opinion of the attorney-general in regard to the constitutionality of a migratory wild-fowl act against spring shooting will be as all wish it to be. In view Of the enormous annual outlay for firearms to be used against game birds it is impossible to have too much legislation in behalf of the birds. I have recently been assured by a gun inventor and manufacturer, who has every Opportunity for Obtaining information, that every year there are sold in this country about 500 000 shotguns, of which about 350 000 cost $5 or less. He also stated that in his opinion there are now in use in this country about Shotguns, in which about 1000000000 cartridges are used every year. Of these are manufactured in the factories and the number is therefore well known. The other are shells that are reloaded.
