Being a young buck of 43, I always remeber there being anti-gunners. I see post where guns were in TV commercials (thinking of the Roy Rogers concealed hat gun) and you could order anything in the back of a magazine. So where did this start? I hoping those with a few more grey hairs and expirence could shed some light on this. How did we get here? My father said it came the Hippy Anti-war crowd during Veitnam era. Any thoughts?
