Can you say “Mulford Act” and Gun control Act of 1968?
The one time republicans and the NRA were for gun control (and let’s not forget that the republicans had an entirely different stance to begin with regarding firearms until that bastard Harlon Carter decided to politicize guns) was when black people armed up. The Mulford act was specifically designed to disarm the Black Panthers.
Oakland has stricter-than-usual gun control laws to this day because of the Black Panthers. The solution, of course, is to simply get the guns in a neighboring area where it's easier to do so.
Yeah, having a gun free zone right next to a gun restricted one is kind of pointless (See US/Mexico border).
It is almost like we would need for all the states to work together to create gun control laws. Maybe they could like federate into a single government body that would be in charge of these regulations and not beholden to special interests.
