Gosh, I've never heard this rhetoric before...

(1900s) Guns could be banned by registering and taxing them out of existence

(1900s) Besides gangsters, reference was made to "a danger of . . . the communists acquiring machine guns, . . . and using them whenever it suits their revolutionary plans"

(1900s) Neither do we need pistols for the protection of our homes. If we need a firearm to repel a burglar, a sawed-off shotgun with its load of buckshot is far more deadly and surer than the pistol

(2000s) Ammo could be banned by registering and taxing it out of existence (Seattle)

(2000s) Besides gang bangers, reference was made to "a danger of . . . the terrorists acquiring machine guns (at gun shows), . . . and using them whenever it suits their revolutionary plans"

(2000s) Neither do we need an AR15 for the protection of our homes. If we need a firearm to repel a burglar, a shotgun with its load of buckshot is far more deadly and easier to use than the AR15 (---Drunk Unkle Joe Biden)
