Hmmm, Ronald Reagan also supported restrictions on gun ownership. Was he also "no conservative"?
Reagan last week declared his support for a bill requiring a seven-day waiting period for handgun purchases. He did so at a George Washington University ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of the shooting that almost killed him and permanently disabled his press secretary, James S. Brady.AnotherIt is called the Brady Bill, and Reagan said Congress should enact it without delay. It's just plain common sense that there be a waiting period to allow local law enforcement officials to conduct background checks on those who wish to buy a handgun, the former president said.
It was Governor Ronald Reagan of California who signed the Mulford Act in 1967, prohibiting the carrying of firearms on one's person or in a vehicle, in any public place or on any public street. The law was aimed at stopping the Black Panthers, but affected all gun owners.And of course Reagan signed the ban on full-auto weapons manufactured or imported since 1986. If Ronald Reagan was not a conservative, under your standards, just who is a conservative?Twenty-four years later, Reagan was still pushing gun control. I support the Brady Bill, he said in a March 28, 1991 speech, and I urge the Congress to enact it without further delay."
Gee, a 7 day waiting period. I guess that won't be enough for Rudy though since he believes there should be REASONABLE restrictions. In layman speak, that would be control of firearms.
Like I said, so long Rudy, you are in it just for the money now. Bye bye.
