Same old drivel as in 1968, after the murder of Bobby Kennedy.
“Same old drivel as in 1968, after the murder of Bobby Kennedy.”
Believe me, it was much worse then. I was 19 that year and already knew that LBJ rammed GCA-68 through Congress as his final revenge against his opponents, meaning anyone who owned guns and disagreed with his Great Society agenda.
Rednecks and hardhats, later derided as Nixon’s `silent majority’, were the class enemy to Lyndon Johnson, possibly the most evil & vindictive chief executive this nation has ever known. His death at 64 was sheer karma in my view.
The common culture of the late sixties regarded the NRA & gun owners as ignorant dangerous hicks. Polls routinely claimed that a majority felt handguns should be banned.
Today at least (an era that began with Ronald Reagan) the gungrabbers must endure counterattack from their intended targets. It’s much more an equal battle than before.
