other states could have but, had dip shits in office at the time..

The Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed after the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy.

The push was for universal registration of guns and gun owners. That failed. Read the article.

The GCA only restricted mail order sales, required licensing of dealers, and created the categories of "prohibited persons." That was far less than was originally envisioned.

The National Firearms Act of 1934 was passed in response to gangland violence during prohibition.

The Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed in response to political assassinations of the 60s.

The Brady Bill was passed in response to the Reagan assassination attempt and gun violence of the crack epidemic..

The article should be titled "When gun violence reaches the tipping point, stronger regulations are enacted"

The Brady Act was passed in 1993, and earlier versions had been attempted in the 1980s. Reagan was a huge advocate for the Brady Bill after leaving office. This was six years prior to Columbine.

Make sure you add the Mulford Act to his resume as well.

a gave the ability to pass. The economic elites and the Klan have been pushing for gun control for decades before the NFA. The Klan managed to get carry restrictions in most states, purchase permit requirements in MI, NC, and MO, before and during prohibition. They also got registration through the Mississippi state house but died in the state senate in 1954.
Michigan, being a northern state, passed their UBC in response to Doctor Ossian Sweet being acquitted after defending his home from a Klan home invasion.

simply propaganda? The 1968 GCA was watered down from what LBJ wanted-

Well, if it doesn't say what they want it to say it must be either:

1. NRA Talking Points.

or

2. Right Wing Propaganda.

Of course the source matters too, so if it says something they agree with it's OK to use even if it's from FR, but if it disagrees with any of their "articles of faith" it's a lousy Reich wing source and they'll run to ATA to demand the Gungeon be shut down and everyone here imprisoned.

That caught my attention. Had it been a typical pro-gun site I would have not even read it.

But seeing it was in the notoriously pro-NRA, RW supporting Chicago Tribune, and not even an opinion piece, it piqued my interest.

The push for full registration of guns and gun owners in the late 1960s failed. True or false?

Or so says Robert Sherrill, the well-known gun-control/ban journalist. I mean, he was there. He heard the debate. He saw the motivations.

He's one of yours.



P.S.: There were many scores of so-called ghetto insurrections during the latter 60s. You remember those.
