The 1800's Wild West Had Stricter Gun Control Than We Have Today.

20. This BS again?

Simple common sense refutes this fabrication in its entirety:

Permits needed back then to carry guns generally? No. We do however have those now.

Anyone that thinks that permits being required for gun carry, is less strict than permitless legal carry, raise your hand.



Permits needed back then to own a gun? No. Im some places we do, now.

Anyone that thinks permitted ownership to own a gun is less strict than permitless ownership, raise your hand.



Need to be 18 to buy a rifle and 21 to buy a handgun back then? No. That is, however, the case now.

Anyone that thinks that not having an age requirement of 18 to buy rifles and 21 to buy handguns, is stricter than having them, raise your hand.



Felons prohibited by law from owning guns back then? No, we do however have that prohibition now. Back then, violent criminals were handed their guns at the door when they left prison.

Anyone that thinks that that is stricter than a prohibition of ownership by felons as we have now nationwide, raise your hand.



Those are just examples, and far from the only ones.




How is it even possible, that there was stricter gun control before the national firearms act of 1934, the gun control act of 1968, and brady bill, and the lautenberg amendment which are all in effect now?

I wont hold my breath waiting for all the hardline gun control supporters to line up to repeal all those laws because gun control was stricter before they were passed.
