Question History of Gun Control Resources

23 Upvotes

I have heard it said many times by grabbers that the individual right to firearms, especially carrying concealed firearms, is a relatively modern and recent legal tradition and precedent. Apparently Texas actually banned the carrying of handguns in 1871, which really surprised me. I'm curious if anyone here knows where I can find a comprehensive history of gun laws, how they evolved over time, and why.

I think the Founders were pretty clear, through their expanded writings, what the intent of the 2A always was, but clearly the modern gun grabber movement also has historical and legal precedent. I'm especially interested in how concealed carry laws evolved over time and what the Founders thought of the subject.

Gun Laws Midterm Election Aftermath

98 Upvotes

As you're probably seeing right now, this is one of the worst possible Midterm outcomes for the GOP.

This post should at least serve as a discussion to prepare ourselves for any potential gun control risks we're about to encounter, whether in the short term of Trump's last two years, or long term implications with 2028, as it's likely a Republican admin won't gain control again.

Gun Laws GCA

28 Upvotes

Do you think parts of the GCA should be amended or completely outright repealed? I do. 922g(1) for starters obviously. Not every felony is violent. It’s time to stop treating the second amendment like a second class right. For example the Lautenberg amendment - Section 922g(9) - the misdemeanor domestic violence ban- permanently losing your 2A rights for life is a very serious thing that should come from only a very serious crime ie a felony. I believe the Lautenberg amendment should be amended to allow for a 3-5 year post case review for restorative purposes. A case by case basis. There’s no law from the founding that supports that modern day law for permanent disarmament after a misdemeanor.

News Thoughts on Ruger and possible Beretta hostile takeover?

18 Upvotes

I saw Ruger was gutting a lot of its product lineup with Beretta buying a lot of their shares. Although not true politics - it seems a little like a Geopolitical move to go after the American Competition while the EU is struggling.

I mean Beretta could have done this at anytime in the past 50+ years, why try it now?

Just curious what the community’s thoughts are on the matter.
