Are they or are studies like this part of message of “we need to do something to control the old people that remember freedom, oh wait let’s say they have more mental problems”
You're not the first to wonder about this. I remember the outrage at GCA 68 (I was 29yo), yet now many gun folks support most of it nowadays.
They probably never had the experience of going into a Colorado (for example) gun shop and buying a handgun, needing only a driver's license to prove Colorado residency.
And before that,when no ID at all was needed, where you could walk into any hardware store in any state and trade money for a firearm.
See, memories of that kind of situation have passed on.
That kind of "freedom" will never come again, since the "habit" of gun restrictions has taken over. "New normal" and all that BS.
"What, Terry, you mean you would allow even felons to own guns?"
Well, yeah. See, they were doing a pretty good job of eliminating other felons. Like the Valentine's Day massacre, which a lof of people think resulted in NFA34. The proper lesson there was not that guns cause violence, but that four bad guys wiped out seven other bad guys.
That's my kind of a Darwinian attitude toward criminals carrying guns... as you can see... as long as upright people get even odds and can also carry them without any (ahem, koff-koff) ...what's the word?
Oh. Yeah. "Infringements." Almost forgot. Gettin' old, y' know.
