    Ronald Reagan was all about gun control.

    In terms of gun control and gun rights, I'll never understand why Regan is held in such high regard by 2A supporters.

    Yep you made your point....

    And FDR was president when he signed the NFA of 1934 and LBJ was president when he signed the GCA of 1968 both democrats..

    Yup.
    When someone calls him a Conservative, they need to put an asterisk by it that says "except the 2A"

    Who's the last Republican president who ever did a damn thing for us? Sure wasn't either of the Bush boys.

    The AWB was allowed to expire in 2004. That's passive support, but support nonetheless.

    Eisenhower: The U.S. Interstate Highway System.

    It was designed, primarily, to move the U.S. Military across the country quickly if need be.



    Bush: The Patriot Act.

    Oh wait.

    Never mind.

    Not to mention amnesty. One of the worst decisions by a president in U.S. history. :sad20:

    Guess I'll be the odd man out ...

    The context in Reagan's OP video response was fully automatic AKs "machine guns" for home defense. The "assault weapon" terminology and attacks on ARs weren't mainstream until Sarah Brady and company started rolling during the Clinton administration. Reagan was no longer President in 1989 when the OP video was made. He was suffering from dementia and would be dead from Alzheimer's 5 years later. He was literally out of his mind when he supported the Brady Bill (93/94), very near the time of his diagnosis.

    Show me the Reagan presidency era anti-gun legislation. The only major gun legislation passed during his presidency was the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986. It was far from perfect and I won't defend it, but it did amend the Gun Control Act of 1968 by repealing parts of the original act that were deemed by studies to be unconstitutional

    “the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive.” -Ronald Reagan
