“Ronald Reagan lobbied members of the House of Representatives to support the 1994 federal Assault Weapons Ban...In the early 1990s, President Reagan lobbied Congress to pass the Brady Law, a major gun safety initiative vigorously opposed by the gun lobby.”

I’m going to need some substantiation of that before I accept it as fact.

Anyway, why are you calling the Brady Bill a “gun safety initiative?” Its only effect was to make the streets and law-abiding citizens *less* safe.

Ever heard of Google? Try it, it’s pretty cool. There are dozens of links for this topic.

As far as the “gun safety initiative” is concerned, that’s the verbiage used by the Brady bill lobby at the time. Splitting hairs perhaps?
