"You do know that I'm a member of the NRA, and my position on the right to bear arms is well known...But I want you to know something else, and I am going to say it in clear, unmistakable language: I support the Brady bill, and I urge the Congress to enact it without further delay." Ronald Reagan
"Listen to the American public and to the law enforcement community and support a ban on the further manufacture of assault weapons. Ronald Regan
As a longtime gun owner and supporter of the right to bear arms, I, too, have carefully thought about this issue. I am convinced that the limitations imposed in this bill are absolutely necessary. I know there is heavy pressure on you to go the other way, but I strongly urge you to join me insupporting this bill. It must be passed. Letter to former Rep. Scott Klug (R-WI) Ronald Reagan
You should review the provisions of HR 10/22. My .22 semi auto would be an assault weapon if this bill passes. Frankly, Reagan made a mistake. there’s no reason to repeat it.
