Ever notice how a tragedy advances the gun control agenda but never alleviates the problem?
When Bobby Kennedy was murdered, in the hysteria that followed, every thing the anti-gunners hated was placed on the table to ban. We ended up with that travesty the 1968 Gun Control Law.
They got what they wanted for years. (Short list of bans).
A ban on the import of 5 shot bolt action Army surplus rifles. (Military rifle bad, Police rifle good, even though they were the same.)
A ban on foreign made”Saturday Night Specials” like the small high quality BROWNING pistols and junk RG pistols. (parts for real junk guns were then shipped to the US for assembly)
A ban on the import of foreign military goods (flintlock flints)
In all this mess, the very handgun used to kill Kennedy was not banned as it was US made.
Every shooting is the Reichstag Fire for the gun control crowd.
