    In 1994, Ronald Reagan sent a letter to the House calling for "a ban on the domestic manufacture of military-style assault weapons." He said that while the ban "will not stop all assault weapon crime, statistics prove that we can dry up the supply of these guns"

        This line of thinking drives me nuts. So we regress to the knife bans like the UK? Deal with the MAIN issue.

        So you dry up the source for 3% of the gun homicides in the country. What do you think the next logical step is?

        Reagan was wrong on this. After the assassination attempt, he started deferring to James Brady's wife on gun issues because Brady literally took a bullet for him. While personally admirable, it was politically and constitutionally wrong.

        Reagan was always pro-gun-control, at least as far back as 1967 when he was governor of California:https://blog.independent.org/2013/09/18/the-panthers-were-right-and-reagan-was-wrong-on-gun-control/ …
