Harassment of legal gun owners started nationally in 1968. In New York City this has been going on since the 1920’s.
The Patriot Act didn't have anything to do with what happened to this man.
I meant the patriot act is simply one step closer to absolute gun control. I know they’ve been keeping records at least since the 70s.
I bought a gun in 1976. Sold it to a deputy sheriff the same year. In 1978 I got a call from the Treasury Department asking me if I still owned the gun. When I told them I did not they wanted to know who I’d sold it to. I told them “a deputy from Craighead County, Arkanas but I don’t know his name”. I then asked if the gun had been used in a crime and was told that it had. So, you see, in 1978 they could track guns by who first purchased them. Gun control has been with us a long time. But it’s getting worse.
