GCA68
was partly racially motivated: the Black Panthers were unabashedly
armed. The cover for passing that law was the assassinations of JFK and
MLK, and people supported it based on emotion alone.
Never mind that
anyone with basic handyman skills could build a black-powder zip gun and
knock off any politician he can get within 10 yds of. Knocking off one
person with a homemade gun is easy; resisting Brownshirts is another
matter. And like most laws, the GCA only applies to people who follow
the law, unless you enforce it with the threat of deadly force.
