pejorative term used by Second Amendment and other advocates of an armedcivil society to describe what they see as negative effects ofgun control . The phrase may have originated in the booklet "Myths about Gun Control" published in December 1992 by theNational Center for Policy Analysis ; a [http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.guns/msg/e2ab694cb30dc1a3 review] of that booklet is the earliest example of the phrase's use in Usenet.
