JFK: Lifetime NRA Member, Second Amendment Defender

[Oscar Knight]

.....JFK: Lifetime NRA Member, Second Amendment Defender : JFK was The Last Democrat U.S. President to Support Our Second Amendment Rights

“By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fear of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the 2nd amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationship, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the 2nd Amendment will always be important.”

- John F Kennedy

John F. Kennedy Presentation

1963; serial number PT109
Inscribed: To JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY / 35th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES / From COLT'S PATENT FIRE ARMS MFG. CO.
Manufacturer: Colt's Manufacturing Company
Engraver: Alvin A. White
87.118.52

When John F. Kennedy accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination for President of the United States in 1960, he declared that the nation was facing a "new frontier" of opportunities and challenges. Colt sought to capitalize on the phrase and introduced a target version of the Single Action Army, the New Frontier Model, in 1961. Kennedy assumed office that same year, and with approval of the White House, the company began developing this special presentation revolver for the president using that model. The gold-inlaid and engraved revolver, serial number PT109, was close to completion when Kennedy was tragically assassinated in 1963. All work on the revolver stopped, and it was soon polished and blued in an incomplete state. The revolver is a powerful reminder that firearms can be beautiful works of art or devastating tools of evil, depending on how they are used.

Using few words to answer this question ; When did the economy and credibility of our Nation & Government begin running backwards begin taking a backward spiral ?

I might be wrong, but, Things kinda took on a sour note after President Kennedy was assassinated.

People Control

I am the one who signed The Gun Control Act of 1968

676 - Annual Message to the Congress on the State of the Union.
January 14, 1969

In the Safe Streets Act of 1968, Congress determined "To assist state and local governments in reducing the incidence of crime."

This year I am proposing that the Congress provide the full $300 million that the Congress last year authorized to do just that.

I hope the Congress will put the money where the authorization is.

I believe this is an essential contribution to justice and to public order in the United States. I hope these grants can be made to the States and they can be used effectively to reduce the crime rate in this country.

But all of this is only a small part of the total effort that must be made--I think chiefly by the local governments throughout the Nation--if we expect to reduce the toll of crime that we all detest.

Frankly, as I leave the Office of the Presidency, one of my greatest disappointments is our failure to secure passage of a licensing and registration act for firearms. I think if we had passed that act, it would have reduced the incidence of crime. I believe that the Congress should adopt such a law, and I hope that it will at a not too distant date.
