The Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA or GCA68), Pub.L. 90-618, 82 Stat. 1213 was a piece of progressive police state legislation enacted by liberal Great Society President Lyndon Johnson on October 22, 1968. The gun grabbing law broadly regulates the sale of firearms. It focuses greatly on interstate commerce for its authorization while ignoring the Tenth Amendment and states' rights.
Black Panthers Effect on Gun Control
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.
