There has always been a strong, puritanical streak in American politics. The “decision” to demonize guns happened with the founding of “progressivism”.
It was stated that with the ending of the frontier about 1900, that the Constitution was outdated and no longer relevant. Guns were not needed for defense against raiding Indians or outlaws, and hunting was almost over.
The elites were rejecting God as a concept for superstitious minds.
Without Christian beliefs as a common glue for sociey, the willingness to do anything for more power started to knaw away at the foundations of the republic.
Progressive judges created the idea that the Second Amendment did not apply to individuals in the Kansas Supreme Court in 1908. Southern states had enacted gun bans in the South to keep former slaves disarmed. New York passed the Sullivan Act to protect organized crime. Big Tim Sullivan was a crime boss.
We are in the process of rolling back all those infringements now.
There is much work to be done. We will have to fight libtards for every inch to roll back 100 years of damage they have done.
