As governor of California, Reagan signed the Mulford Act into law in 1967. Written by Republican Assemblyman Don Mulford, the legislation was the most sweeping state edict in all the country, prohibiting the more or less free carrying of firearms in public. It went along with the rest of his heavy-handed entire law-and-order agenda and inspired an avalanche of new gun laws nationwide.

The purpose of the law was to disarm the Black Panthers, a radical leftist group that openly carried firearms, kept an eye out on the police, and even took their rifles to the state Capitol to protest what they decried as racist legislation.

Strong said it was "too soon to (determine) cause and origin" of the fire. She said the blaze had "multiple points of origin" and that it "appears suspicious."

It does not help that white men are burning down mosques like the the one in Houston on Christmas. Here is what CNN had to say --

Pffft, I think we know who did it.

This one's a special case and has been since day one. I'd hoped they'd gotten bored and moved on to troll some other site, but sadly I was wrong.

That's nonsense. I suggest you do better research. Adam Winkler's "The Secret History of Guns" in The Atlantic is a good place to start.

The NRA supported gun control from the turn of the century until the 70s when the ILA was founded. In fact, the Mulford Act (1967, not 70s.) was one of NRA's first targets and they clearly stated their support for the rights of the Black Panthers (and all citizens) to bear arms.
