Just re-joined after a 20+ year hiatus.
Left over NRA leadership comparing the elder Bush presidency to the Nazi regime. Hopefully, those folks are long gone...
Thanks for the heads-up OP!
After the crime in Stockton, California (noted above), President George H.W. Bush firmly opposed banning U.S.-made "assault weapons,"118 but directed the BATF to suspend the importation of several dozen types of semi-automatic rifles the agency had previously approved for importation, and to reconsider whether the rifles met the legal standard for importation.119 The BATF ultimately banned the rifles' importation on the basis of their having external attachments such as a pistol-type grip, a folding stock, and a flash suppressor.120 The BATF's rationale121 tracked the Violence Policy Center's 1988 proposal that "Criteria to identify and categorize assault weapons could be developed by ATF now and applied toward restricting the availability of both foreign- and domestically-produced assault weapons."122
George H. W. Bush certainly was not a Nazi, though he was certainly not a friend to the 2nd amendment.
