I did a little googling and yes he did say that. The context is a bit questionable when you read the entire speech. For me, it's hard to say for sure how he meant it without hearing the speech in full. 

 

 

I was pretty young at the time, but I vaguely remember this speech because of my dad. He was a strong southern democrat. Raved strongly against the concept of a Catholic president and how the Roman Catholic Church/Vatican would control his actions and thus America.

But Dad was swayed by this and several other of JFK's speeches and became a staunch supporter of John F. Kennedy. To the dismay of several of our family and friends at the time.

Did Jack really say this?

Then Senator John F. Kennedy published this in April 1960 to a "Know your lawmakers" column in Guns magazine:

There's some pretty cool reading (and prices) in there. 

Here's the editor describing it in a later Field and Stream article:

$35 for a Colt 1911....I need to build a time machine.  Handloading was apparently a big thing back in the day as well.

Thanks for posting that.  Very cool look into the gun culture of yesteryear.

Those were the days!

I have the paperwork for my Ithaca 1911bought from the Army back in 1964 for $17.50, and $7.50 of that was shipping by REA. I wish that's what I paid for it.
