I'm not sure why you posted that, although it was a nice post.
But it in no way negated the fact that Reagan signed legislation that limited gun ownership in this country. And not just once, but a few times. And then when he got out of office, he actively advocated for Clinton to sign the Brady Bill (which didn't take much persuasion. LOL)
A waiting period is not the same as a ban on handguns. And the arguments presented in the info you posted for his support of gun control are flawed. I will demonstrate that, if you are interested and when I get time.
Yes he supported some measures of gun control through his public life. But you do not get an NRA endorsement and awards for being a gun grabber. That he was not. And he FIRMLY believed in the original intent of the 2nd amendment.
Reagan is a mythical figure for a very good reason. He earned it. He was larger than life, even the libs have figured that one out.
