Answer 1

Greetings

I'm not real sure on this one but i will go out on a limb, i will say the frist gun control law is against the so-called *****. it shuld be found in the Blacks CODES of the South, that is where i would look, I can't imagine so-called Albions making law to prohibit them selves only those that they have mistreated for so long, they would have good reason to live in fear of the so-called *****.

If my Ancestor's were to at that time in life, really hated them they would have posioned the whole race of them, my Ancestor's cooked their food, washed,their close, cleaned their homes, raised their children.

The oppertunity to kill all of them were in the hands of my Ancestor's of that day, they didn't need guns, they where feeding them. They should have been thinking of keeping them out of the kitchen if anything.

That is my say on that about gun control, the law was made against the so-called *****, Black, Colored, Afro-American or African-American and any other name that comes to mind that represent these things.

Answer 2

The first gun control law in the US is:
Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed

Answer 3

The Battle of Bunker Hill yielded one of those quotations that every American is supposed to know: “Don’t fire till you see the whites of their eyes!” Massachusetts June 1775.

It’s still debatable which American officer said this, if anyone. Some sources credit Gen. Israel Putnam of Connecticut, some Col. William Prescott of Massachusetts.

Answer 4

No factual data, but I would consider that the original colonies had either written or spoken rules . Remember, hunting for food was as natural as planting crops...and more common than bathing.
