Much like 1968. When the 1968 Gun Control Act managed to include almost every firearm the antis hated at that time. Namely 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles, surplus handguns, small foreign made handguns and “military” equipment.

An antiques dealer in Tulsa was raided because he imported “military equipment”, namely flintlock flints from England.

It is interesting that the very firearm that was used to kill Bobby Kennedy (and got the gun ban wheels rolling)was NOT banned. It was made in the US by Iver Johnson, a .22 Cadet.

The Democratic Party as an entity hated the Kennedy’s and they were the reason that the party instituted the super-delegate system at their conventions — to keep a Kennedy from getting the nomination.
