The Democrats have been screaming for gun registration and bans since 1962.
1962-Call for Handgun registration ONLY! “Rifles will not be affected.”
1963-Call for registration of All guns and a ban on 5 shot army surplus rifles!
1968-Got a ban on small foreign handguns and 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles.
1971 Call for Ban on small American handguns. “Rifles will not be affected!”
1975 Call for Ban on all handguns. “Rifles will not be affected!”
1981 Actress Lee Grant on ABC’s GMA yells...
“The NRA is a rifle organization! They should give up their handguns and they can keep their rifles!”
1984 Call for ban on semi-auto rifles.
1994 Ten year “ban” on “a-s-s-ault rifles”.
2000 Call to ban single shot .50 cal rifles.
Rest assured if they get a ban on semi-auto rifles, they will be back for the handguns, and more, and more and more.
Let's gloss right over the National Firearms Act of 1934.

The reason why the NFA of 1934 effectively banned short barreled rifles and short barreled shotguns by imposing a then outrageous $200 tax was because originally handguns were also supposed to be part of the $200 tax. Handguns were removed from the law at the last minute, but the SBS and SBR provisions remained.
The gun grabbers have always wanted to grab handguns.
Actually, the RATS have been trying to disarm us at least since the days of FDR.
Thanks for the information.
