The historical perspective on the Sullivan law is pretty much spot on, add in the fact that they also wanted to be able to extort the rent from captive tenants and you have the perfect recipe for a criminal enterprise.

No matter what anyone says, you can trace the history of gun control, and it always ends up being touted and supported by some criminal enterprise, be it a government, or in the case of Big Jim Sullivan, a crime boss masquerading as a public servant.

Amazing how the more we look at this issue, the more we find our adversaries are pretty much the same......
