57: Capitol Heel

The Mulford Act and Gun Control History

The 1967 Mulford Act is discussed as a historical precedent for using a Capitol protest to pass restrictive gun legislation. The Black Panthers' armed march on the California State Capitol led then-Governor Ronald Reagan to sign a bill banning the open carry of loaded firearms. The hosts predict that the January 6th events will be used as a similar catalyst for new federal gun control measures and domestic terror laws.
