Halbrook, That Every Man Be Armed (1984), 234-35: While legal discrimination against blacks in respect to arms was abolished during Reconstruction, the sale of arms and ammunition to "hostile" Indians remained a prohibition. E.g., 17 Stat. 457, 42d Cong., 3d Sess., ch. 138 (1873). See also Sioux Nation of Indians v. United States, 601 F.2d 1157, 1166 (Ct. Cl. 1979), affd, 448 U.S. 371 (1980): "Since the Army had taken from the Sioux their weapons and horses, the alternative to capitulation to the government's demands was starvation...." The federal government's special restrictions on selling firearms to native Americans were abolished finally in 1979. Wahington Post, 6 Jan. 1979, §A, at 11, col. 1.
