The Black Panthers marched into the California state capital fully armed, leading to the arrest of some group members. Because of the visible militancy of the group, they often faced police pressure. A number of clashes in the Chicago area left members of the Panthers and police officers either killed or wounded. According to many Calguns Foundation members, the armed open carry Black Panthers were one of the reasons that gun control increased in America, especially the Gun Control Act of 1968.
