we rep jfk now as a remark remarkably young president. a fresh face, an outsider defeating the old establishment guy. richard nixon. but he was not new to washington. when he won the white house. he had been a congressman, first elected in 1946, then a senator elected first in 1952 and re-elected in 1958 and while he was a senator, in that year that he was running for re-election in 1958, john f. kennedy introduced this legislature. a bill to ban the importing into the united states of guns or ammunition manufactured for military purposes. now, the most popular weapon like that at the time looked like this. it's an italian rifle called a carkano. this was the most popular foreign firearm, originally manufactured for military purposes sold in the united states at the time kennedy introduced a bill that would have banned the sale of this gun. if you want to get a better look at this gun, here's another view. the man holding the rifle is in this photo is lee harvey oswalt who went on to kill john f kennedy with that gun in 1963. mr. oswald b
