The Gun control Act of 1968 was, interestingly enough, NOT ment to reduce crime, but to prevent a lot of forigne guns and ammunition from being imported into the US and compeating with our gun factories.
Some of the biggest supporters of the act were the gun makers.
True. In fact, Bill Ruger supported the 1994 bill that prohibited assault weapons (more than 10-round magazine capacity) for that reason (to protect his own business) and lots of gun owners vowed to boycott Ruger for it. I own a Ruger Blackhawk .357 Magnum and some friends keep urging me to get rid of it...their anger still persists.
