I meant to frame that around the 1934 ban but got lost in the sauce, which would have reinforced the availability in 1927 but then the significant change to secure firearms in the 30s. I thought the shotgun thing was in the 20s, which I mentioned to show that it started with 1… and then quickly escalated.
Back in the day I watched a show (I think 60 Minutes with Dan Rather) and he went into a gun store in Texas and bought a 37mm anti-tank gun, AND ammo! Put it in the bed of a pick-up and waited for a cop to walk by and ask if it were all legal, cop said yes. Then he took it somewhere an fired it.
The school shootings started what, 50 years later?
Obvious conclusion: Yes, it is the “easy access” to “military grade firearms” that is the problem.
Scottie, beam me up!
