"'Next step: repeal the National Firearms Act.' And, in agreement, Col. Lea said, 'Check!' This view of the Army, on the importance of individual firepower and civilian marksmanship training, is shared by top-level policy-making personnel. The appreciation of automatic weapons' importance is directly recognized by these men."
Gun owners were opposing the Firearms Section of the Treasury's Alcohol & Tobacco Tax Unit and working to repeal NFA 50 years ago, and GUNS Magazine was at the forefront of the effort. And the military was on the side of the people.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
