For Americans, the crux of gun control laws has been how to disarm dangerous individuals without disarming the public at large. Ever-present in this quest is the question of how the perception of danger should impact guaranteed freedoms protected within the Bill of Rights.
Not only is such a balancing act difficult as-is, but there are also two additional factors that make it even more challenging: America’s federal government is constitutionally bound by the Second Amendment, and politicians notoriously take advantage of tragedies to pass irrational laws when emotions are at their highest. As President Obama’s former Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, once famously remarked:
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
This line of thought is not new to American politics. From the emancipation of enslaved Americans and the organized crime wave of the 1930s to the assassinations of prominent leaders in the 1960s and the attempted assassination of President Reagan in the 1980s, fear has proved a powerful catalyst for appeals about gun control.

Let us not forget the gift given to the American people, by the late, fat, boozing, womanizing-killer, Ted Kennedy,
The Gun Coontrol Act of 1968!!!!
This shows us how long the slow erosion of the 2A has been to where we are headed.
The first part of the book “Unintended Consequences” is very good overview of how the gun control laws came about and how to deal with them.
Ironically, more people died in his Oldsmobile than from most peoples’ guns.
