I’m talking about the first-hand accounts from people who were actually living there at the time. You can read all the history books you want, but what I’m talking about is what real people actually lived through, and it’s absolutely factual.[/quote]
I’ve heard those first hand accounts. Scores of them, since I was a child, and as recently as a month ago. Irrespective of what either of us heard, the taking of guns wasn’t the beginning of anything. And even before the relaxing of the gun laws in 1938 (except for whoever you heard those first hand stories from, and my relatives), registration had been required to own and acquire guns for almost 2 decades.
And probably more importantly, the proposals that didn’t get passed wouldn’t take any guns away from anyone. There’s a big difference between background checks and confiscation.
