“You can’t withhold my right to own a firearm because somebody else committed a felony with a firearm,” Robinson told The Daily Signal. “It’s not right. And like I said, it’s a lazy and unconstitutional way to enforce the law. So when I said [to the council and the audience] that we are the majority, that’s what I meant. We are the majority. The majority of people are law-abiding citizens, work hard every day, and their rights should be preserved.”

“I would have still been outraged by it, if I had no plans to buy a firearm. Because like I said … I have no plans to hire an attorney, [but] that doesn’t mean I want my right to counsel taken away. Those rights need to be preserved.”

Gun Control Act of 1968
The Gun Control Act of 1968 is a federal law that regulates the firearms industry and firearm ownership in the United States.
The Gun Control Act of 1968 is a federal law that regulates the firearms industry and firearm ownership in the United States. It was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 22, 1968, and was enacted in response to several high-profile assassinations, including those of President John F. Kennedy, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., and Senator Robert F. Kennedy. The law was intended to make it more difficult for criminals and mentally ill individuals to obtain firearms. The law replaced the Federal Firearms Act of 1938 and significantly expanded the federal government’s role in regulating firearms.
- Effective: October 22, 1968
- Repealed and replaced the 1938 FFA
- banned importation guns that have “no sporting purpose”
- gun owners had to be 21
- all manufactured or imported guns have a serial number
- control of interstate traffic of firearms
The Gun Control Act of 1968 established new licensing requirements for firearm dealers and manufacturers and required them to keep detailed records of firearm transactions. It also prohibited certain individuals, such as convicted felons and individuals with a history of mental illness, from owning firearms. The law prohibited the importation of certain firearms, including “assault weapons,” and established a minimum age of 21 for handgun purchases. The law has been amended several times since its enactment, including the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, which established a national system for background checks on firearm purchasers, and the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007, which improved the accuracy and completeness of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

922r Restrictions on Firearms Manufacturing
The 922r restrictions on firearms manufacturing refer to a set of regulations that were introduced in the United States as part of the 1968 Gun Control Act. The purpose of the regulations was to prohibit the importation of certain firearms that were not suitable for sporting purposes, and to restrict the manufacture of firearms to ensure that they were not easily modified into prohibited configurations.
The regulations are named after Section 922(r) of the Gun Control Act, which specifies the requirements that firearms manufacturers must meet in order to produce a firearm that is legal for sale in the United States. Specifically, Section 922(r) requires that certain firearms must have no more than 10 “foreign-made” parts out of a total of 20 or more parts, in order to prevent the easy modification of the firearm into a configuration that would be prohibited under the law.
The regulations were introduced in response to concerns about the availability of so-called “assault weapons” and other firearms that were deemed to be too dangerous for civilian use. The restrictions were intended to limit the ability of gun manufacturers to produce firearms that could be easily modified into these prohibited configurations, and to prevent the importation of such firearms into the country.
Over the years, the 922r regulations have been the subject of much debate and controversy, with some gun rights advocates arguing that they are unnecessary and infringe on Second Amendment rights. However, the regulations have remained in place, and continue to be enforced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
how does 922r compare to the Assault Weapons Import Ban of 1989 ?
The 922r restrictions on firearms manufacturing and the Assault Weapons Import Ban of 1989 are related, but they are distinct pieces of legislation with different aims and provisions.
The Assault Weapons Import Ban of 1989, also known as the “AWB,” was a federal law that prohibited the importation of certain firearms that were deemed to be “assault weapons.” The AWB banned the importation of specific firearms models by name, as well as firearms that met certain criteria, such as having a detachable magazine and a combination of features like a pistol grip, folding stock, and bayonet mount. The AWB did not apply to firearms that were already in the country before the ban went into effect.
The 922r restrictions, on the other hand, apply to the manufacture of firearms in the United States. The regulations specify that certain firearms must have no more than 10 foreign-made parts out of a total of 20 or more parts, in order to prevent the easy modification of the firearm into a configuration that would be prohibited under the law. Unlike the AWB, the 922r restrictions do not ban specific firearms or features, but rather regulate the manufacture of firearms to ensure that they meet certain criteria.
In summary, the Assault Weapons Import Ban of 1989 and the 922r restrictions on firearms manufacturing are both laws that aim to regulate firearms in the United States, but they have different focuses and provisions. The AWB targeted the importation of certain firearms models and features, while the 922r restrictions regulate the manufacture of firearms to prevent the easy modification of firearms into prohibited configurations.
