If memory serves me correct, when Lyndon B. Johnson signed that travesty(the 1968 gun control act) into law he made this statement:
"Today we make America safe by taking guns out of the hands of criminals."

Before the ink was dry the anti-gunners wanted more.
1972 "We only want to ban saturday night specials."
1978 "We only want to ban all handguns. Rifles and shotguns will not be affected."

1981 "The NRA is a rifle organization! They should give up their handguns and they can keep their rifles!"..Lee Grant on Good Morning America.
1981 From HCI. "We only want to control handguns. Long guns will not be affected!"

1986 "We only want to ban handguns and Assault Rifles. Sporting rifles will not be affected."
1989 "We want to ban all handguns and all semi-automatic firearms. Sporting rifles will not be affected."
Need more?
