I looked up the history of gun control in the US.
all I could find that really mattered in the 1800’s was
1837
Georgia passes a law banning handguns. The law is ruled unconstitutional and thrown out.
Other than that, all the nonsense started in the 20th century. Very much starting in the late 1960s.
Try looking at the mid- to late-1860s, when the newly-freed slaves (which is to say, CITIZENS) were denied the right to own firearms in the former Confederacy. That is a large part of the reason that we have the 14th Amendment.
Try also looking at the Sullivan law, passed in NYC in 1911 (or thereabouts) - aimed at eliminating the ownership of guns by the “swarthy” types - Italians and Eastern Europeans.
Gun control in this country has its post-colonial origins in RACE or racial notions. It has morphed into a means of controlling everyone, not just the “untermenschen” that were targeted (no pun intended) by prior laws. Now we are ALL untermenschen, unless we are employed by the authoritarians.
I believe the Sullivan Act was 1927. Prior to that there were many laws in the South specifically to disarm freed slaves.
