That wrong I owned full automatics back in the 70s, anyone had the right to own a machine gun as they still do, its just that now I have to jump throiugh a lot more hoops....I have a friend whoin the 70s, bought a Solothurn 50mm anti aircraft canon out of the back of a comic book for 99 dollars, and yes it was fully functional.
Not saying gun control efforts are new, they arent but back then gun control was to prevent black people from owning guns and the NRA fought that tooth and nail and won)
Gun control as we know it is relatively new, happening in my lifetime
