[QUOTE="Cedar Creek, post: 1889454, member: 12387"] Yep - GCA of 1968 which was brought about on the heels of the JFK assasination. Prior to that you could order all kinds of firearms from mailorder houses, etc. Back pages of a lot of magazines had surplus firearms & ammo you could order pretty cheap (like Oswald did), but that all went to hell with the GCA and it has gone downhill since. I look for the Colorado theater shooting to cause some proposed legislation to restrict magazines & weapons. Not sure congress can pass any more gun control now, though - too many grassroots voters will fire their elected officials for anti-gun votes and they know it. Cedar Creek [/QUOTE]
