A Breif History of Gun Regulation In The United States

Since the ratification of the Bill of Rights to the Constitution in 1791, the Second Amendment (which guarantees Americans the right to bear arms), has been under constant attack.

History of Gun Control

The 20^th century began a wave of gun control measures. Many politicians viewed the upgrades in automatic and semi-automatic firearms to be too dangerous to be in the hands of everyday citizens.

Full Auto Firearm Ban

These efforts culminated in the Violent Crime Control & Law Enforcement Act of 1994 which banned many popular semi-automatic rifles including AR-15s and AK-47s. Fortunately, the ban expired on September 13, 2004 by a sunset provision, but there has been much talk of reinstituting a similar or even more extensive ban on firearms.

New Gun Control

Recently, gun regulation has evolved more subtly as many popular tech companies have begun censoring firearm content online. For example, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube all have policies discouraging the buying and selling of firearms and ammunition and restrict gun manufacturers from linking directly to their website from a post. These constraints have forced us to be more creative in order to still provide you with the content you want. For example, instead of linking directly to a product on our site, we put the SKUs of products mentioned in the post in the description for you to copy and paste in the search bar at bearcreekarsenal.com. No matter what the future holds for the firearm industry, Bear Creek Arsenal is committed to providing you with high performance/high value firearms so you can enjoy your Constitutional freedoms at a price you can afford.

Sure seems like we are headed down the same road came from in 1776. A nation divided will not stand against its enemies.

The history of the stripping of our 2nd amendment rights should be a red flag to all freedom loving Americans.

I do agree we need to keep firearms out of the hands of idiots, but if you crack the door any more it will be open so therefore long as the idiots aint harming me or mine let the ATF and Government stay outta my buisness. IGY6 if you need just dont stab me in it.
