Muslim-Americans should be armed

The Mulford Act was a 1967 California bill which repealed a law allowing public carrying of loaded firearms. Named after Republican assemblyman Don Mulford, the bill was crafted in response to members of the Black Panther party conducting armed patrols of Oakland neighborhoods while conducting what would later be termed copwatching. They garnered national attention after the Black Panthers marched bearing arms upon the California State Capitol to protest the bill.[1][2]

Republicans in California supported increased gun control. California Governor Ronald Reagan was present when the protesters arrived and later commented that he saw “no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons.” and that guns were a “ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will.” In a later press conference, Reagan added that the Mulford Act “would work no hardship on the honest citizen.” [3]

The bill was signed by Governor Ronald Reagan and became California penal code 25850 and 171c.

Yes he did. He liked some of them. And that was about the only thing I didn't like about him. But did you notice that he seemed to like them less when he was president than when he was governor of California. Maybe, just maybe he realized that he shouldn't make blanket laws that his constituency in CA accepted try to apply to a whole, very diverse nation.
 
So you're not arguing the NRA position that not allowing to openly carry is equivalent to disarming people?
