Go back to 1962 when Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler called for the registration of handguns only! “Rifles will not be affected!” In 1964 they called for the registration of ALL firearms.

I remember it well. Gun problems were all solved in 1968. the democrats said so!

I thought all that “Lawlessness and Chaos” was done away with by the Democrats back in 1968!

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-— Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 gun control act into law.

And Thomas J. Dodd, who wrote the 1968 gun control act using the 1938 Nazi weapons law as a pattern...

“No one can predict how many lives will be spared because of this bill, but, if the bloody record of our yesterdays is any measure, millions of future Americans will live to enjoy the promise of many peaceful tomorrows.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play a part in this great moment in our time.”— Thomas J. Dodd on passage of the 1968 Gun control act.
