snousleA very interesting article in the Atlantic explores the history of gun control, which is, as always, Not What You Think. It's full of surprises like this:
Republicans in California eagerly supported increased gun control. Governor Reagan told reporters that afternoon he saw "no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons". He called guns a "ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will".
Very much worth reading.
