I am a college student, and one of my history professors wants me to write a paper on some aspect of 1968.  So, as any self respecting gun nut would do I chose the infamous Gun Control Act.  What I need from you guys are some links/opinions/general ravings that I can use in this paper.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. the professor is fairly liberal so lets really piss him off.

If you want to cut to the quick about GCA '68, start here:

Ok, so maybe "piss off" isn't the right thing to say.  How about "inform"?  Also I go to a fairly conservative Christian school, so I should be on fairly good ground with the administration as long as I don't get too heavily into the Nazi connections.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback so far and keep it coming.

Matt -

When is your paper due?  I don't have time this week, but if you can wait until late next week (and shoot me an email to remind me on Wednesday or Thursday) I'll try to dig up a copy of the legislative history while I'm at the law library.

1968 = Robert Kennedy and Martin L King assassinated. Black panthers,weatherman underground,Yippie's,Hippie's rioting in the streets.
  Watching my mother cry every night as punkass Dan Rather reported the number of Americans killed in Viet Nam that day.
  I was ten years old in '68...I don't look back as that being the good old days. mmk
