Noted Second Amendment scholar and author Alan Korwin has pulled from the archives this bit of historical flotsam to remind us of the Five Year Plan for Gun Control that floated widely among the left during the Clinton Administration.  Attempts have been made to legislate some of these into law and others are promoted actively by the gun ban lobby.

Just so you know what the stakes are in this as in any election.
