I noticed this years ago.
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1986, They came for the rifles.
If they can get any sort of ban on a rifle, rest assured they will be back for the handguns.
“If they can get any sort of ban on a rifle, rest assured they will be back for the handguns.”
It was a small, .22 handgun that killed Senator Robert Kennedy.
Why would anyone need a gun that can be used in a crime like that?
