224. Why Is Your Version Not Supported By History?

Why didn't the Brady Act 1992 make a reference to the militia? The word "individual" was used eleven times.
Why didn't the FOPA 1986 make any references to the militia?

Why did the Gun Control Act of 1968 not mention militia a single time? "Citizen" was used twice and "individual" was used seven times.

In 1968, the Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed by a Democratic House and Senate, signed by a Democratic president and affirmed by a liberal majority SCOTUS. Here's the opening paragraph:

Gun Control Act of 1968 Sec. 101. The Congress hereby declares that the purpose of this title is to provide support to Federal, State, and local law enforcement officials in their fight against crime and violence, and it is not the purpose of this title to place any undue or unnecessary Federal restrictions or burdens on law-abiding citizens with respect to the acquisition, possession, or use of firearms appropriate to the purpose of hunting, trapshooting, target shooting, personal protection, or any other lawful activity, and that this title is not intended to discourage or eliminate the private ownership or use of firearms by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, or provide for the imposition by Federal regulations of any procedures or requirements other than those reasonably necessary to implement and effectuate the provisions of this title.

Let me repeat a phrase: "this title is not intended to discourage or eliminate the private ownership or use of firearms by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes". That's 40 years before Heller.
