Gun Control: Political Fears Trump Crime ControlClayton E. CramerCollege of Western Idaho Joseph OlsonHamline University - School of Law February 20, 2008 Maine Law Review, Vol. 61, p. 58, 2009 Abstract: As the debate over the 1976 District of Columbia gun ban demonstrates, "gun control" often covers for a hidden agenda. British Cabinet papers declassified in 1969-70 demonstrate that contrary to claims made in Parliamentary debates, the intent of the Firearms Act 1920 was not to reduce or prevent crime, but to prevent a feared Bolshevik revolution in Britain. Direct statements by members of the Cabinet demonstrate an intent to mislead the public about their objectives.
