This gun control battle has been going on since before the American Revolution when the British tried to disarm the citizens at Concord as someone already mentioned. The strategy was uncovered by George Mason back in those times too:

Quote:
When the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that is was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually.."
