Does anyone, on this board have an authoritative resource (website), listing the authors, sponsors, and co-sponsors of all Federal firearm legislation in the U.S. from 1934 to present?
I am particularly interested in the names, and party affiliations of the authors, and sponsors of restrictive firearms legislation (gun control).
I have a theory that ALL this type of legislation stems solely from Congresscritters of the Liberal (probably Democrat) persuasion. This is because, I believe it is in their very nature to regulate, and curtail our freedom to own firearms, and a host of other freedoms. I would like to authoritatively either prove, or disprove this theory.
For example, there is a moron who frequently posts here, alleging that President Bush was “responsible” for passing the Assault Weapons ban of 1989. If fact, the only reference to a 1989 Assault Weapons ban that I can find, is the Roberti/Roos Ban passed in California. Both of these guys are Democrats. They are now gone, but the idiot law still stands.
I am not especially interested in which President signed these laws, because sometimes foolish laws are attached to a piece of essential legislation, such as military appropriations bills.
Thank you, in advance for any authoritative information you may provide.
