The NRA Supported Gun Control When the Black Panthers Had the Weapons
Back in the 1960s, even the NRA supported gun control to disarm the group.

Armed Black Panthers in the Capitol, 50 years on

Also when James Brady was shot, the "Brady Act" was enacted.

I do think that the administration has been actively provoking violence in order to declare a "convenient" state of emergency.
Avoid if you can.
