Before I post Part Two, I have a question for interested reader. Please respond with a comment.

This is for anyone interested in gun safety and potential gun control legislation.

A simple question that I ask you answer in a comment without searching for answers online. It is actually several questions but a single concept that should have a single correct answer:

Where does this 10-round threshold first show up historically? When?

In what context was it used? For which firearms was it meant to apply?
