The first gun control laws in this country were enacted at the behest of the Ku Klux Klan, and were specifically aimed at black people, with the clear intent of making them easier victims for the KKK.
With what political party was the KKK aligned, during the entire time that it had any meaningful existence?
The first major gun control law to not be openly racist in intent and letter was New York's Sullivan Act, authored by, and named after criminal gangster-turned-politician Timothy Sullivan. Here, the intent was to give Sullivan's gang an advantage over rival gangs and law-abiding citizens, by putting a Sullivan ally in charge of determining who could and could not own and carry arms.
As with the earlier laws, the intent, in more general terms, was to advantage criminals by disarming their intended victims.
With what political party did Timothy Sullivan align?
Is it any coincidence that it is that same political party that, to this very day, seeks to make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to be armed and to defend themselves, while, in other ways, openly taking the side of violent subhuman criminal filth, against that of law-abiding human beings?
The Democrapic party is corrupt to its very core, and has been for much more than a century.
