Not like anyone who is "active" needs another motivating factor, nor that anyone who is NOT motivated to act will be by reading about this, but speaking of legal and activism...
Some good quotes from the time. Article by David Codrea.

50 Years of Infringements after GCA68 Show Only Constant is Obsession with Control
Media hostility to and subversion of the right to keep and bear arms has only grown stronger and more pervasive over the last 50 years, and at the time this issue of GUNS hit the newsstands, Americans were about to have the greatest infringements since the National Firearms Act of 1934 forced on them by representatives capitalizing on media-fueled-political hysteria: The 1968 Gun Control Act was signed into “law” by President Lyndon Baines Johnson on October 22 (the semicentennial is today).
“A total ban on all guns is in the final stages of enactment at this writing, Carl Wolff, who penned the regular “Our Man in Washington” column warned. The “no one is talking about taking your guns” lie is what the gun-grabbers have always been talking about. A Shooters Club of America alert in the January 1968 issue of GUNS warned its readers about GCA ’68 author Sen. Thomas Dodd:
“He has said, ‘I would be for abolishing all guns … I never saw any sense in guns anyway, and I do not go backward by saying so. I hope some day the world will say, ‘Destroy them all.’”
“Chances are that when Congress closes, all sales of so-called mail order guns will be stopped,” Wolff warned. And all out of state purchases of guns will be stopped.”
Significantly, that was supported by the NRA and that is what happened (and more).
