Bush-1 signed a exectuive order banning the importation of all military rifles and parts,and he used another XO to ban hi-capacity magazines (over 10 round) to anybody but LEO's and the military. He is the spiritual father of the so-called Assault Weapons Ban,and I have zero doubt he would have signed it into law if Congress had been able to pass it back then.
