I have a silly question: What is the history of the anti-gun movement? I ask because 50 years ago guns seemed not to be a "problem", and kids brought .22's to school for show and tell. I guess it was a simplier time.

In 1962 I took a M1 Garrand to college for a public speaking class. My subject was the History, and Nomenclature of this Firearm. Got an A.

Here's a pretty good primer on the roots of gun control. Basically, gun control sprang from racist whites who felt a need to prevent African Americans from being able to defend themselves.
Gun control is racist. Why Jesse Jackson and the Democratic party don't understand this is beyond me. I suppose for them it is just an inconvenient truth.

The origins of gun control are anti-black racist ... MODERN gun control is generally anti-white racist (gotta take Bubba's toys away sos he don't hurt no brown people or politicians).
Since Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and their ilk are basically Black Klansmen, they of course recognize and endorse the anti white racism inherent in modern gun control.

So, the reason that modern gun-control has gotten so much popular traction
is that it plays on white guilt? This outsider doesn't think so.
I don't think it's as important to know WHY this present movement was initiated,
as to know why it has been so relatively successful.
Guns and dense urban contexts don't always mix easily.
I suspect that, as fewer and fewer urban Americans parked disposable income in firearms,
there came a tipping-point of general unfamiliarity with guns, a ripe situation for any
anti-gun movement --whatever its underlying agenda-- to make its move, and make
America afraid of itself.
JFK's murder had its effect too, no?

I've alway's found it more than ironic that the Gun control Act of 1968 was inspired by the singular act of the JFK assassination, and cemented by the further assassinations of MLK and RFK........And Lee Harvey Oswald thought he was the patsy...........
