The National Rifle Association (NRA) supported gun control when the black panthers were the ones holding guns (lawfully).
When the BPP visited the State Capitol in 1967, Chairman Bobby Seale read a statement. The NRA quickly passed gun control legislation, the Mulford Act.
The Mulford Act was a 1967 California bill prohibiting the public carrying of loaded firearms, named after Assemblyman Don Mulford. The bill was signed by California Governor Ronald Reagan!
