The Gun Control Act of 1968 was reportedly heavily supported by owners of gun shops?
For purely business reasons, of course.
Eliminating the mail order buying of guns, and the requirement that gun sellers be licensed and restricted, was good for business.
An easy way to reduce competition is by government edict.
