Worked for them against the Black Panthers in CA back in the 1960s with Governor Reagan. The NRA backed it.

That's where the CA gun control stuff really started.

And why I consider most forms of gun control just racism dressed up for social benefit. Not saying all, but there are states that make it so hard to purchase a gun that's steeped in racism of the past. Before any neo-lib comes in trying to pearl clutch, my rebuttal is "Fuck off."

Seriously, it shocked me how many people don’t know that saga.
