Looking it up now.
There’s a part in the book where the lead character, Henry Bowman, makes an, “If I were GHW Bush, I would say this,” speech at a gun range get-together.
It was during Bush’s re-election.
Basically, it was about how gun rights have been eroded, how government seems to want to create criminals, how abuses by the BATF are shameful.
And that he would eliminate NFA 1934, GCA 1968, and restore what we never should have lost.
