Some GOP helped craft the original Assault Weapons Ban 20 years ago.....former POTUS Ronald Reagan helped as well..btw...surprised?
And George Bush II repeatedly promised to sign it if renewed.
The GOP is inherently wobbly and latently progressive.....always has been
Today simply the lesser of two evils
Oh but how some like things simple....to hell with historical accuracy
I was in secondary school during Reagan. I was a Freshman in high school when the AWB was signed. I don’t support GWB on more than 50% of his politics. I’ve only tangentially supported the GOP. I’ve always been a history-minded Constitutional conservative since I was a junior in high school on the debate team.
I support the NRA on over 90% of their political dealings. In general, they get it right. This latest development is unacceptable by the standards of any pro-gun, American Constitutionalist.
