Reagan had the same position as Romney. Overwhelmingly he supported gun rights but like most Americans didn't think we should each have our own tanks. Reagan supported the Brady bill and limiting so-called Assault weapons. Would you vote for Reagan? (Personally, I am to the right of Reagan and Romney on guns but I would vote for either.)

"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.
