| | + | The [[Black Panthers]] marched into the [[California]] state capital fully armed, leading to the arrest of some group members. Because of the visible militancy of the group, they often faced [[police]] pressure. A number of clashes in the [[Chicago]] area left members of the Panthers and police officers either killed or wounded. According to many Calguns Foundation members, the armed [[open carry]] Black Panthers were one of the reasons that [[gun control]] increased in America, especially the Gun Control Act of 1968. |
