Indirect Legislation
Accessory
make, repair, keep sell or buy them might be
prohibited under the penalties of murder Daggers
might also be prohibited altogether: and to prevent
doubts the shape of knives and other necessary or useful instruments
might be regulated so
as to distinguish them from daggers.
Homicide in prosecu subservience to robbery.
Pocket-pistols
Pocket-pistols or and other fire-arms small enough
to be concealed about the person might also be
prohibited. The utility of such a measure might seems
not to be very perfectly clear upon the whole. however be in some degree problematical. Of all
methods of robbing that with fire-arms is attended
with least danger to the party injured. In such
case the mere threat is generally sufficient to answer the
unlawful purpose: [were the robber to fire] by firing in the
first instance the robber would disarm himself it would not only be an act of
needless cruelty, but he would thereby have disarmed
himself: whereas by reserving
his fire he is comparatively
secure: since
the slightest touch given applied
to the trigger will give
a wound against which
there is no defence.
On the contrary the a club bludgeon or a sword
were the party to have notice might be warded off:
and the aggressor when he has by giving his one blow
is equally not the less able to give another.
Those who make use of such weapons will therefore
be more likely than their the others to
committ have recourse to actual violence in the first instance.
