It goes much earlier than that. Before the party system.


Virginia. 1680. "It shall not be lawfull for any negroe or other slave to carry or arme himselfe with any club, staffe, gunn, sword or any other weapon of defence or offence."

The first federal gun control laws -- under FDR -- came in response to the rise of gangland violence by Al Capone and others.
