American gun laws summed up in memes

[Aegon]

The amusing thing about that meme is that if the colonists had not had guns ( and germs ) the native americans would have wiped the floor with them.

Well, maybe. But my main problem with the meme is that it's just false. There wasn't a point where any tribe or group of American Indians relinquished their artillery in any sort of voluntary gun control program. On the contrary, the natives frequently used firearms, using them as early as the 1650s. In fact, at the famed battle at Little Big Horn in 1876, the various American Indian groups were better armed than Custer's men were!
