1934 Cartoon from Chicago Shows that Gun Issues Have Not Changed
Gun Watch ^ | 5 May, 2014 | Dean Weingarten

 "A Bill to Promote Burglary" was drawn the same year that the Roosevelt administration passed the first federal gun ban, the National Firearms Act of 1934.

democrat President Franklin Roosevelt FDR was a socialist

it shows democrats have always been the same . they are all Marxists

what is it does every democrat have a playbook they study ? they all act and think the same way.democrats tried to ban guns in the 1930’s. these people are sick . they trust government and have destroyed this country starting with democrat President Woodrow Wilson then FDR and democrat congresses.

It appears that back then the newspapers appeared to side with the American people. How times have changed.

Excellent observation. I recently picked up the same theme reading biographies of Grover Cleveland and James Garfield. It’s amazing how conservative the NY Times and other media outlets used to be. There really wasn’t such thing as a progressive in the U.S. back then.

The truth is that in their black hearts they know that so long as large numbers of Americans are armed, the left can never fully impose their will on us. Perhaps it’s time to flex our muscles just a bit.

I'm tired of hearing that democrats have only recently turned into hard core leftists. NO democrats have ALL always been hard core leftist marxists.

In 1913 Democrat President Woodrow Wilson helped destroy the USA with his progressive era, imposing the 16th amendment (the income tax) on the USA, and the 17th. without these 2 amendments we'd have no income tax no huge government and states rights.

The 16th Amendment led directly to the enactment of a national income tax in .... In 1913, with the very active assistance of President Wilson, ...

It doesn’t sound like we’re really disagreeing since the point of reference cited is Woodrow Wilson. I’ll mention Grover Cleveland again, who was a Democrat. He was a true limited government conservative, probably more so than any Republican president that came after him except for Calvin Coolidge. Maybe Cleveland was an outlier.

well you said there were no progressives back then

Democrat President Woodrow Wilson was a progressive/marxist and this socialist monster and his democrat congress destroyed the USA (income tax,17th ammendment, federal reserve ) and a million other horrors.

In 1913 Democrat President Woodrow Wilson helped destroy the USA with his progressive era, imposing the 16th amendment (the income tax) on the USA, and the 17th. without these 2 amendments we’d have no income tax no huge government and states rights.

Up until the ratification of the 17th Amendment, the Senate had been traditionally focused on the interests of the states, as sovereign entities within a federal system, vis-a-vis the federal government. Before the change, the Senate only remotely reflected the so-called will of the voters and distinctly did not act like a popular assembly. With direct election becoming the law of the land, senators began to become simply another form of that scourge of democracy, the populist politician

Got it - I must not have been clear about my point of reference in the original comment, which was late 1800s (the time of Cleveland) instead of the time of the publication of the cartoon posted by marktwain. There were definitely progressives in the 1930s but not really in any meaningful numbers before the early 1900s. I agree that Wilson is more or less the right point of reference for the rise of progressivism, though Teddy would also be appropriate.

Democrat President was a progressive/socialist who transformed the USA from a free republic into a quasi socialist state, proof

http://dailyreckoning.com/the-wilson-presidency-woodrow-wilsons-world/

and this cretin Wilson did this in 1913

but many even on here think every thing is Bush’s fault or the Republicans’ fault
