Ohio governor proposed licensing firearms possession

That caught your attention, didn't it? But, it's true. He did. Fortunately, this was back in 1960, or so. David Codrea has a link to the "latest" of Guns Magazines back issues from 1960. They've got a great library of issues available, free. I love looking back at what they were discussing back then. Sadly, things haven't changed all that much in some regards. They had lots of anti-gun politicians then, too. So, here's something cool to read on a snowy Indiana day!

Yes, so did the President of the United States (LBJ) a few years later. Heck, then Senator JFK was a supporter of stopping military surplus firearms (on behalf of Smith & Wesson).

The anti-gun milieu was the reason why the NRA was proposing alternatives throughout the '60s which became transmogrified into "supporting" gun control.

Thanks for posting that, Mr. J. It is important that we at INGO understand how the climate has shifted on guns.

Now we need to make hay while the sun shines.
