A 1619 statute required everyone to attend church on the Sabbath, "and all such as bear arms shall bring their pieces, swords, powder and shot."
Those failing to bring their guns were subject to a three shilling fine.
Virginia reissued this law in 1632: "All men that are fitting to bear arms, shall bring their pieces to the church..."

...when a government allows someone to own a gun, it is making a statement that it considers you a trusted and loyal member of the community.
In Colonial America, to be black or Indian meant that you were not really trusted with the power to do good or evil that a gun provides.
In much of modern America, to be a convicted felon means that the government does not trust you with this power.
In places such as New York, Massachusetts, the District of Columbia, Chicago, and state of California, the complex raft of gun control laws shows that the general population is trusted only slightly more than Colonial Virginia trusted slaves.
