What is gun control?
Gun control doesn't really control guns, and we know that from the time that we had gun control. Gun control was first used in America to keep slaves in subjection. It was used secondly to keep recently freed slaves as much under control as possible, and many of the southern states passed gun control laws for that purpose at that time. Thirdly, we had a rush of laws requiring permits to carry a concealed firearm in the 1920's and 1930's to control those people, meaning blacks. The Sullivan act in New York state was passed by obviously Senator Sullivan, who was highly connected to the Irish Mafia which was quite unhappy with the influx of the Italians and the Italian mafia in New York. They were silly enough to think that gun control was going to keep the Italian mafia off their turf. It didn't work but it did mean that the rest of New York has had a very difficult time defending themselves. So it has actually worked out quite well for the criminal class in general, because it's meant that their victims are almost certainly going to be disarmed when they come upon them. That's a history of gun control, that's what gun control means.
