Back in the 1970s, there was a concerted push to try and ban handguns. After all, they were used in most crimes and you didn't need them for hunting.

In his mind, the organization bordered on being demonic...and I'm not even sure he believed it only bordered being so. Never one to temper his outrage, Baldwin said a lot of negative things about the group. Gun rights advocates have since ...

Without it, there's little constitutional argument against gun control. While gun rights would remain human rights--the Constitution doesn't establish rights, but protects them--the arguments against infringement would be quite different.
