The Black Panthers and Gun Control

I remembered listening to a Podcast about this a while back and thought I would share what I found when I looked into it again. In the 1960s the gun control debate began in California when politicians wanted to curb the influence of the Black Panthers. The Mulford Act, signed by then governor Ronald Reagan, was the stricter gun control law in California when it was passed and spurred more gun control legislation across the United States.
