Change:
And in 1967, the Mulford Act was enacted by then California governor Ronald Reagan, which put into effect strict gun laws that would stripped legal firearm from not only Black Panther members but black citizens from carrying firearm weapons in public.

Done I changed "stripped" to "strip" and "firearm" to "firearms". I also fixed the sentence so it makes more sense: "And in 1967, the Mulford Act was enacted by then California governor Ronald Reagan, which put into effect strict gun laws that would not only strip legal firearms from Black Panther members but prevent any black citizens from carrying firearm weapons in public." Last time I checked, most Black Panthers were black citizens.
I still think the sentence is wrong, but I don't know enough about California or the Mulford Act. First, I doubt that the governor of California can enact a law. I have a feeling that Reagan signed an act passed by the California legislature. Second, I doubt that the law barred only black people from carrying firearms in public. I have a feeling that it outlawed all firearms from being carried in public. Somebody who knows more about the subject should fix the text. — Malik ShabazzTalk/Stalk02:29, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Dubious statements in lead section
As I wrote in the preceding section on this page, I doubt that the sentence in the lead section about the Mulford Act is correct as written. The sentence states: "And in 1967, the Mulford Act was enacted by then California governor Ronald Reagan, which put into effect strict gun laws that would not only strip legal firearms from Black Panther members but prevent any black citizens from carrying firearm weapons in public."
First, I doubt that the governor of California can enact a law. I have a feeling that Reagan signed an act passed by the California legislature. Second, I doubt that the law barred only black people from carrying firearms in public. I have a feeling that it outlawed all firearms from being carried in public. Can anybody shed some light on the subject? — Malik ShabazzTalk/Stalk02:32, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Why not "Murder" of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark?
At the moment, it's
1.6.4 Killing of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark.

The term "blacks" to describe black individuals is archaic and certainly should not be in an article about the Black Panther Party - please amend in all cases. 86.141.136.140 (talk) 13:26, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Double murder? As if life wasn't hard enough as it is.
Re Bobby Hutton, the first para gives April 6. as the date of the event, or at least the car ride, while para 2 gives April 7. Entirely possible, if it was an event taking place from, say, the evening of the 6. to the morning of the 7., but it still reads a little confusing; like, was Bobby Hutton killed two days in a row? Probably not, but that is hard to read out of the article the way it is formulated now. T 85.166.160.249 (talk) 01:18, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. I believe this is still pretty standard; in any case, this should be discussed before making such an edit request. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:21, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
