4. "Silent on guns Again?" Since when has 'we' been silent?

Nearly a half-century has passed since the first rattlings of the modern gun control/ban/confiscation elements started beating the war drums. (The main reason these elites got anything done in the 60s was when the '68 GCA was enacted after a wave of ghettos insurrections during that time. As gun control advocate Robert Sherrill said at the time, the Act was "passed not to control guns but to control blacks."



Yep. From the beginnings of Colonial-era gun control, through Jim Crow, right on up to the Rolling Stones, the issue has been about controlling minorities and immigrants.
