The anti-gun activism machine is getting desperate. Researchers at UC Davis allege in a new paper that “excess” firearm purchases over the last few months may have led a significant increase in “gun violence.”
The authors – with at least a baker’s dozen advanced degrees and millions of dollars of funding from California taxpayers – claim that an excess number of firearms were purchased this spring. They’re referring, of course, to the then-record number of Americans who legally purchased firearms to protect themselves and their loved ones.
A natural right, affirmed by the Constitution, cannot be exercised in “excess.” The authors don’t claim a small “excess,” either – they say 2.1 million excess firearms were sold from March through April.

LOL - Labeled correctly as "Fake News." Remember the British intended to seize colonists' guns. On April 18, 1775, British troops left Boston headed for the towns of Lexington and Concord. ... The British government wanted to seize the lawfully owned firearms of the colonists. If British troops could disarm the militia, there would be less of a threat to their control.
During the Revolutionary War, some American militia fighters engaged in guerrilla-style tactics using their hunting rifles to take out British soldiers from distant cover. But most militia and continental soldiers used a combination of British Brown Bess and French Charleville muskets. These smoothbore weapons offered less precision in aim, but were faster to reload. Due to the shortage and as demand increased to arm the American Revolution, local gunsmiths began to manufacture their own versions of the European-made muskets. Muskets were lesser weapons compared to the "Kentucky, Ohio or Pennsylvania" American-made long rifles, much as the today's AR15 is a step back from the M16 and M4 military rifles, however the 556/.223 calibers are the most favored by the average US Citizens.
