Join the #1 community for gun owners of the Northwest
We believe the 2nd Amendment is best defended through grass-roots organization, education, and advocacy centered around individual gun owners. It is our mission to encourage, organize, and support these efforts throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
I don't really find that CNN clip to be as offensive as this YouTube commentator does, although I do think that using the term "loved" to describe how the founding fathers viewed gun control is an politically motivated exaggeration. That said, I'm sure that the founding fathers and the early law-makers of our nation realized and appreciated the the necessity of gun control / laws, just in a much less invasive and restrictive form than the laws we currently suffer under today (including those to come).
A quick bit of research on the topic after watching this clip yielded this pretty interesting research paper which goes over the number of various gun laws and restrictions that existed in our country during the late 1700's up until the 1930's. If anyone is interested, it looks like it would take about an hour or so to read, but the tables in the paper are enough to get the gist of it.
