It never occurred to me that there was a connection between GCA and the 60's (duh!), but then, I was only ten at the time, and I never think about GCA, unless someone else mentions it.

As for these laws being limited to present and former LEOs, that is obviously based on the same sort of statist thinking that put us in this mess, to begin with. BTW, in New York, I've had to fight off or elude would-be muggers on several occasions; only once was a witness able to get the police there in time to help me. r in, and then leave out the emergency exit.) The thinking behind a law that gives special treatment to LEOs is the thinking that forces citizens to be slkaved of the state, whom the state in turn owes nothing (Dial 911 and Die). Such laws will have no benefit.

P.S. What is "2A"?

[herewego]

RKBA- Right to Keep and Bear Arms 2a - Second Amendment to the Constitution Our Right to liberty and to defend ourselves is God given, no entity can take that away. no gubmint, law or agency can deny that Right. just depends on when people have had enough intrusion on thier Rights to make a stand to dissolve bad gubmint.

Mark, 2A= Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights.

Hey, BTW there aren't too many people who make the connection between GCA'68 and the occurrences of the decade itself. However, once one begins looking at the timeline, sponsors of the bill, etc, the whole mess becomes quite clear.

I was fortunate to have been in the position of being OUTSIDE the US at the time, as well as having more important things with which to concern myself. I really didn't know anything about the events at home, nor, at the time, did I care. The truth was driven home to me one cold November day in San Francisco, when I left the gates of Travis AFB,happy as a clam to be "back in the World", and ran face first into the reality. The culture shock was of mammoth proportions, I felt like an alien, who just arrived via starship. I couldn't figure out what I had done (or not) to be treated the way I was. Heck, on that day, all I wanted was a shot of VO & a beer(or several) and a phonecall(or several) to Mrsgwmoore telling her I was OK and would be back in Philly soon. What I got, you most likely can surmise, was totally different. It's been 31+ years and the mental image can be called up just as clear and crisp as the day it was formed, and the scars on the mind are just as painful. And yes, I have been sober since May '80 thank you ;-) Something must have gone right. though, as I am still married to the same fine woman, and have a wonderful 30 yr old daughter.
