Hmm...I thought protests against `war toys’ were more recent.
But then, 1967-69 were the worst years of the anti Vietnam war demonstrations. Probably the same bunch against both.
I’ve been following the gun control battles ever since I heard Lyndon Johnson refer to “mail order murder” as the means by which Lee Harvey Oswald got his rifle. So that’s nearly fifty years.
I am as convinced now as then that gun control is not about fighting crime, it’s about controlling the population & suppressing gun rights people in particular as a political class that is hostile to the new societal order.
DiFi & her fellow gungrabbers will IMO trip up on their own arrogance & demand really off the wall things like confiscation, neighborhood informants, & ostracism of gun owners as “not the kind of folks decent people want to associate with”. Speaking of picketers, watch for them to gather in front of conservative Congressmen’s homes starting next year.
Besides, there’s that annoying little bump in the road to confiscation called the U.S. Constitution.
